What else you find that isn't on a hunt

Aside from the great gifts, hunts give you and opportunity to check out stores and shopping areas you might not otherwise have found. This is true of Shoes and Accessories hunt too. I popped in to Zeery's (#132)* to get that gift on the Rue D'Antibes sim...and then wandered a bit. There were plenty of shops I plan to go back and check regardless, but more than a few of them had gifts for the taking -- and some shops I'd not seen before although they appear to have multiple locations:

From Kaotic Kreations I got this multiple layer aged scroll tattoo. (And found some pretty reasonably priced shirts as well.)

Just down the street from Kaotic was =u.u= KaWai -which had a lot of eye catching items but who offered this heavy balled-steel men's choker & bracelet set.

And tucked in a corner was
primOptic, who had these rimless unisex eyeglasses as a hello gift. The glasses are unscripted and no mod, but they fit me just fine and have a really nice doubled glaze look on the glass for those of us familiar with the need for reading glasses.

Not pictured were some home items you might want to check: SohuGiki's Solutions has a single av sit cushion set that's pretty fun, and A Curious Prim had a pillar and vase in the neo-classic style. And if you have a lady friend, get her to go with you -- more free stuff for her and for you, if you are willing to part with some minimal lindens, some nice clothes that won't set you back much. The sim itself is a bit laggy but not a dead stop, so prim down a bit...it's a nice little area to explore.

*(Zeery's also has some $4-5L gifts scattered about in addition to the tie she offers men for the hunt)
