You can treat a friend to something cool from the Second Life Marketplace — it's easy!

Buying and sending a gift

For each gift:

  2. On the item page, click Add To Cart As Gift.

    A gift message window appears.
    Important: If the recipient has only a username, not a first name and last name, enter the username. The system will show the name as "<username> Resident".
  4. If you would like to include a gift message, enter it. Otherwise, leave it blank.

  3. Complete the checkout process as you normally would.
  4. Await a delighted reaction from your friend.

Notes

  • You can send the same gift to multiple recipients, but not in the same checkout. You need to checkout once for each identical gift item.
  • You can't send L$0 freebies as gifts.
