My favourite freebies: Free silks and more in Second Life

Update: This blog post is archived. Please check the permanent page - Free in Second Life - which I try to keep relatively up-to-date. (It's also linked from the menu.) Any feedback on this page welcomed - if you'd like to see it presented or ordered differently, let me know.

Well... here it is my list of favourite freebie stops, for new girls and anyone who's tight on their budgets.

I've tried to link close to the relevant board or gift vendor, but you'll probably have to follow those little red arrows quite a bit.

Unless otherwise stated, gifts are for females (sorry guys).

If you know any places you'd like to share, please leave a comment! There could be a 'favourite freebies' part two :)
Silks (and more)

Angelwing - Specialising in fantasy clothing suitable for Goreans, medieval ladies, or fairies. There's  a general and a group MM board (there is an enrollment fee for the group) and two lucky chairs. There's usually a couple of free gifts scattered around too.

Beautiful Sin  -  Two lucky chairs, can be silks or contemporary clothing.

Creative Chaos - Great value for money and wonderfully generous with gifts. 2 MM boards, 10 group gifts at a time (new one every month), dollarbies and freebies. Plus, outfits start from 19L... and they they look anything but cheap.

D&T Design - 4 MM boards (two either end of the 'corridor'), can be difficult to lock, Saturdays seem best as there's extra 30L Saturday traffic. Also about  6 lucky chairs. Be prepared to do some walking as the chairs are spread out all over the store.

Delicious - Delicious will spoil you rotten for gifts! There are some lucky toilets (lol) and MM boards, but head straight to the freebie stations for free silks, gowns and panther gear. Plus a new group gift every month.

Enchanted Silks - a midnight mania and a mini-mania board. Beautiful Enchanted Silks for free!

FallnAngel Creations silks floor lucky chair - there's a midnight mania board on the other side of the room too

FallnAngel Creations ground floor lucky chair  - usually has a set of silks among the rotating prizes

Kirina's Creations lucky chairs - 3 chairs, changing every 10 minutes, featuring older silks.

Kirina's Creations midnight mania - usually one, but sometimes two outfits. Mostly silks, a gown or panther outfit. Target varies.

Second Moon - some amazing outfits on the lucky chair, which changes every 5 minutes. Also a group gift, and on the opposite balcony to the chair, an invisible lucky pyramid!

Silks of the Siren - The prizes here don't seem to have been updated in a while, but there's still 3 lucky chairs, 2 MM boards (you might need help to lock) plus 3 free gift silks and 2 camisks. They also have a sale floor upstairs, with prices from 100L.

The Shack - Well, chances are you already know this one :) Seven lucky boards for females, four for males, for group members (although membership is currently 100L). Silks, kirtles, camisks, gowns and more on offer.

Shack @ Insel Anago -  Two boards, one with gowns or clothes for free, one with slave gear. You don't need to be a group member for these!

White Noise marketplace store - You'll find tons of freebies here. Some are quite basic, but hey, at least your ass will be covered... or not, as you prefer. You can also get free jewels, furs, cages - just navigate your way around the store.

YM Designz  - 3 lucky boards and two midnight mania for slave and free woman



Freebie Stations

While they don't usally have much for RP wear, these places are great 'one stop shops' for anyone on a bargain hunt. Should definitely be checked out by any new avatars.

FabFree Station - You can pick up anything here - clothes, shoes, skins, you name it. There's even a gift from now defunct silks designers Silk & Satyr right here.

The Free Dove - Mainstream clothes, shoes, a great selection of  jewelry, free skins and shapes, and free hair.

Seraphim - You have to join the group, but it's currently free to do so. Great selection of stuff, which is updated every so often. Skins, shapes, clothes, poses... you know the drill! The Seraphim blog is fun for keeping up to date with (mainstream) sales too.



Skins and hair

Adam n Eve skins - occasional group gifts, plus they give sample eyes as demos for their range. Male and female.

Al Vulo - a group gift skin very month.

Alli & Ali - some hair gifts in-store and loads more around the grid on 'team sport' vendors (like midnight mania, but they only reset when the target's been reached).

D!va - hair store with some great group gifts, free poses too. The latest gift, and two lucky boards, are on the stairs.

Emo-Tions -  Mirja Mills's store has a selection of gift hairs... and while you're there you can check out the amazing roleplay outfits.

Heartsick - the wonderfully generous Amesha dishes out gift skins with great regularity! Currently there's a 10L joining fee (which is so nothing for all the great gifts). There are two lucky boards upstairs in the shop also. Male and female.

Style by Kira - four lucky boards with skins (one for men)

Mother Goose - More lucky boards than I can count! They change ever 3 minutes too. A great place for newbies (and others!) to pick up some free skins.

Millage Valenti- 12 lucky boards for skins, and lots of nice dollarbies, such as a lip tattoo make-up set

My Ugly Dorothy - 15 lucky boards featuring skins (many quite 'novelty' / or child skins)

Rockberry - Skin store with a bank of 5 lucky boards, plus 3 more around the store.

Tuty's - A great variety of free skins, in a range of tones.  Also some free clothes, hair and animations.




Gowns and other stuff

Destiny's Designs - two lucky chairs featuring fantasy (gowns!) and science fiction clothing for men and women

FallnAngel Creations dresses floor - MM board just around the corner. Many of the outfits can be 'silks-ish' in appearance, so always worth a look

FallnAngel Creations kimono floor - lucky chair and midnight mania. The midnight mania doesn't always lock, try early in the month - 1st or 2nd usually the best bets.

Rag Dollz - A huge variety on offer here - gowns, burlesque, steampunk, even the occasional bellydance outfit. Two midnight mania boards upstairs, one out the back, some lucky boards...

The Shack - Well, chances are you already know this one :) Seven lucky boards for females, four for males, for group members (although membership is currently 100L). Silks, kirtles, camisks, gowns and more on offer.

Shack @ Insel Anago -  Two boards, one with gowns or clothes for free, one with slave gear. You don't need to be a group member for these!

Suki's Silken Fashions - lucky chair featuring gowns for fantasy role play

Wishbox - 'Fantasy Clothier' has an MM board and a lucky chair, usually featuring gowns. You can grab some free gift fairy wings while you're there too!
