Valentine’s Shop & Hop 2026

The Shop & Hop is open for Valentine’s Day.  I’m not sure if I’ll have time to run around all 280 creator’s stores (14 regions!), but I did run and pick up this wonderful bodysuit gift for FREE to show you!

I picked it out browsing through the FabFree Shop & Hop Guide.  Thanks as usual to the FabFree crew of Porta and Beachy that put this together for us!

I’m not usually much for pink, it clashes with my hair.  But soft pinks like this, I can get away with (and dark pinks too for that matter), and as the lace is so pretty, I just had to grab it.  If you really like it but do want it in another color, you can pick one up for 25% off at the event.

Update: after reviewing my posts, I go and clean up my inventory, including filing the gift box away in case I ever accidentally delete an item.  Then I go and clean up all the objects rigged for bodies I don’t have, and in doing this, I noticed that the bodysuit comes with a four color HUD that I overlooked not ten minutes ago lol.  The other colors include nude, and two darker shades of pink.

The bodysuit comes in sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Legacy Bombshell, Reborn, Waifu, GenX Classic, and GenX Curvy.


By Your Wings

This dress is a dollarbie on the marketplace from a new-to-me store, Your Wings.

The dress is sized for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Erike, Kupra, Legacy, Legacy Bombshell, Legacy Perky, Muneca, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star.

It comes with a HUD with muted blue and purple versions in addition to the green I’m wearing.  All three versions are in this intriguing pattern, which is what caught my eye.

Finally, a freebie worthy of a post!  It seems that all the creators are taking a vacation all at the same time, and this is the first outfit I’ve found in a month that’s been worth photographing.

This dress and pantyhose set is a group gift for members of the teleporthub.com group, which is L$10 to join.

The dress is sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Bombshell, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Reborn, Waifu, and Star.  The pantyhose are BoM.

The gold sparkles are animated, which is an impressive look on top of the dress already being materials enabled!  My photos barely do the animation justice, and it’s a must-see in person.  Run and get it 🙂

SL22B is open!

Second Life is celebrating it’s 22nd birthday, and celebrations are officially open today.

There are 76 regions full of things to experience!

And of course, the Shop & Hop is on, with 480 creators spread over 24 regions.

FabFree have again done a marvelous job of putting together a spreadsheet listing the gifts available at the Shop & Hop.  Make sure you head over to FabFree’s Info Hub in-world and show them some Linden Love for doing this!

My plan is to wait until Monday SLT, when the crowds might thin out a little as people are back at work in the US and EU.  But I couldn’t resist showing you at least one giftie today 🙂

This superbly detailed lingerie is a gift from deviousMind.  There are fits for Lara and Reborn.  The stockings are BoM, and all the other pieces are rigged mesh (which is good because everything moves with you, but bad because you can’t adjust how tight the pasties are hehe).

This is the lace version, but there is also a satin version in the pack.

As I mentioned, the detailing is superb; I had to take a closeup of the lilies and feathers.


NYX

This daring strappy number is the most recent group gift from Asteria Style.  Their group is currently L$100 to join (they do have a number of past gifts of similar quality available, which may make the modest join fee attractive).

The skirt, harness top, panties, and bracers (the creator calls them “bracelets”) are separates.  The skirt, panties, and bracers are sized for Lara, Kegacy, Reborn, Isis, Freya, Hourglass, and Kupra, and the top comes in the same sizes, with the addition of Lara Petite, Legacy Perky, and Kupra Kups.

This is a fatpack, and a HUD is included for each of the four pieces.  They each have eleven colors to choose from, and there are four metal colors where appropriate.

The Evil Bunny Hunt is on at the moment, and I found this fab wrap romper.  Hunt items are a tiny L$1.

There are sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Pinup, Kupra, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu.

I love the daisies on the black polka dots!

This is another FREE hunt item from the store hunt that Addams is running.  You need to join their group to participate, but that’s FREE as well!

You have until the end of the month to find all the Easter eggs 🙂

The bra and panties are separates.  They come in sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Bombshell, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Kupra, Reborn, Waifu, and Freya.

There is only this color, but the pack does include a HUD that lets you change the color of the metals.


Serendipity

While I was at Addams yesterday, I picked up this month’s FREE gift for group members.  Addams is FREE to join.

I adore well-done floral textures, and this one is very nice.  The dress is sized for  Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Bombshell, Kupra, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu.

There’s a second version with a top too, for all the same sizes.


Heaven

Exciting news!  Addams is running a FREE hunt for Easter.  You must be in the group to participate, but that’s also FREE to join.

Included in the hunt items is this wonderful lace dress.   It’s in sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Bombshell, Kupra, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Reborn, Waifu, Freya, Isis, and Hourglass.

It’s only in this single color, but it does include a HUD to switch the sleeves and panty on and off.  It also lets you set the color of the single button.

This is a pretty nice gift for FREE, and there are eight more just as nice waiting for you to find at the store!

The hunt runs until the end of the month, so there’s plenty of time for you to find all nine pieces.


Lilo

This is a FREE gift for members of the Hilly Haalan group.  The group is FREE to join.

This outfit is all one piece, and there are a ton of sizes, including Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Legacy Bombshell, Legacy Perky, Freya, Hourglass, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Kupra, Kupra Cups, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu (whew).  Not only that, but for each body, there’s a version with materials enabled, and one with them disabled.

I’m wearing the one with materials, and it certainly helps all the seams on the top stand out.  If I were texturing this, I’d make the skirt just a little less shiny, but that’s a minor quibble (and if it bothers you, you can wear the no materials version).

The dress also includes a HUD that allows you to select from twenty colors for the top, skirt, and straps.  You can also pick from gold or silver metal accents.

This is a very nice gift!  Run and grab yours today!
