It’s hard to believe I’m still out gathering up advent calendar gifts.  But, gather I am.  Of course this time it was a completely accidental stumble upon that left me jumping with joy!

I was wondering what to blog next when I realized I completely forgot to drop by JUMO  during Christmas.  I love JUMO, and shop there whenever I get the chance.  Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of freebies in the store, so I don’t often get to blog them.  Imagine my delight when I found 14 completely free gifts at JUMO’s landing point.

These gifts are all absolutely lovely.  Many of the gowns come with matching accessories.  And, the hair gifts come with a complete complement of hairbases.  The gifts are from a twelve days of Christmas advent calendar, that has a bonus New Year’s gift.

| SHOES|Ellnique Designs .October gift – basic black heels; Maitreya/Slink/Belleza (GG/free)

Sometimes ballrooms and their dress codes can be so very dull. That’s why I just love this gown from Queenz!  Instead of being a standard somewhat boring floor length gown, it features nearly scandalous slits that flash a whole lot of leg while managing to cover all the naughty bits.  As an added bonus, wearers can choose whether or not they wear the sleeves.
If you’re worried about accidentally being a flasher while busting a move, you can pair the gown with one of the best gifts on the grid.  What you ask could that possibly be?  Kaithleen’s Universal Thong group gift!  This thong fits mesh bodies like a glove, and remains hidden under most meshes.

Pop by Livia to get these wonderfully pointy Bento rigged mesh fingernails.  They come in 3 shades, with 3 styles.
Remember, all of the stores featured in today’s outfit have groups that are free to join and offer several past gifts.  Which means lots of goodies to keep you shopping happy. Enjoy!

After the nonstop drool fest inspired by JUMO’s Designer’s Showcase gift, I decided a trip to their mainstore was in order.  I will confess, I did part with a few of my Lindens.  However, I also left the premises with yet another lovely free gift.

The Lillia Outfit is JUMO’s current gift for members of the SLF&O shopping group.  Lillia comes in 5 standard sizes plus additional meshes for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza bodies.  Included in the gift is a straw handbag (not modeled).  Thanks JUMO for another lovely gift.
FYI – This dress is beautifully sheer.  If you plan on wearing this to a sim that bans nudity panties are definitely a must. Some of the best panties for mesh bodies can be found at Kaithleen’s.  Their Universal Thong group gift rocks. You can see them in our Sci-Fi Noir post.

Here’s a closeup of the dogtag necklace from Sherbert.  This great gift actually comes without pictures in the tags.  It’s up to you to add your own.  Our model decided to drop in a few botanical images.

I hope you still have some shop left in you for this final entry.  The Okinawa Winter/New Year’s Festival is still open.  And, not only are the New Year’s gifts still out, but the Christmas area is also still open.  It’s a gift cache that will leave you digging your way out of a mass of wrapping paper.  Happy shopping!

Prepare yourselves for another wild fit of box opening.  Designer’s Showcase is celebrating their 8th anniversary round!  And, birthday/anniversary rounds mean loads of great free gifts.

I was so blown away by JUMO’s dazzlingly shiny silver gown that I almost missed the  sumptuous grey stole tucked into the box.  I know, hard to believe but true.  The photo shoot was completed, and I was double checking the box for a possible alpha when I noticed a fitmesh + 5 standard sized models with the word fur in their descriptions.
OMG! It’s sooooooo FLUFFY!  Did I mention no animals, virtual or otherwise, were harmed in the creation of this stole?  The textures on this entire gift are outstanding.  Thanks JUMO for such an amazing gift.
ASU - Glitterxtra
The featured earrings and eyes can also be found at Designer’s Showcase.  The mesh eyes are a gift from Dulce Secrets.  They come in 3 shades and are boxed with system eyes, mesh eyes, and Catwa/Lelutka appliers.
If you wear Maitreya/Slink/Belleza feet be sure to visit Hilly Haalan for today’s heels.  The 30 shades packed into their HUD make them a must have item.


FYI – Today’s “look” could be you.  Everything in this post from the jewelry to the mesh body, it’s shape, the head, and slink compatible feet are 100% free.  Thanks to the generosity of Altamura, transitioning to mesh couldn’t be easier.
