Sims 3 Store - Gifts for the Holidays

[Bri]

I'm not sure where to post this, but as it relates to the free gifts, I'll post it here. Is anyone having trouble with the sims store today? The page is not loading fully, and when I do eventually get onto the free gifts page, I get a page full of script and something about server is out of memory.

Are you using the Launcher?  I tend to get those a lot.  If this is the case, you might just try using a regular browser to go to the Sims 3 store via one of the links above.

No, I'm on my iPad on the regular website. I keep checking to see if the new gift is up, as I'm in Australia and not sure what time the new gifts appear in my time. I will keep trying. I always check on my iPad, then if it's something I want, I use the desktop where my sims game is.
Edit - it works if I use the first link on this thread, thanks. Although maybe it's fixed itself.
What time (US time zone) does the new daily gift appear? Then I can work it out in my time.

Glad you got it to work Stormi71.  It is hard to say when things go wonky (whether it is a browser issue, server issue, random glitch, etc).

As for when it comes up?  Well, most of the others who updated this thread have had it done by 5 AM (my time)...which, if the converter I used is correct, says it should be 11 PM Sydney Time.

I think it gets updated at midnight [American] Central Standard time, which is translated to 4pm the day before here in Western Australia.

Speaking of which, they're doing world style sets today! The free set is the India Inspirations Bedroom Set and the 45% off set is Morocco Mystique. As a bonus, if you landed Cante Captivating earlier you'll be able to get an even better price on Morroco Mystique by buying the Morrocco Mystique + Cante Captivating compilation! Hooray for the Complete Your Set discount!

Today's free set is the Boho Vintage Men's Collection and the Sun, Surf & Sand (Swim + Sleep) set is 45% off (reduced from 1,550 Simpoints to 853)

Today's freebie is the Buzzer Beater Free Throw Machine

The discounted item with 30% off for today only is the Skylight Studio for the Performing Arts down to 1,330 from the usual 1,900 simpoints.

Awesome! I was building an arcade and the free throw machine will be a great finishing touch.

Thanks to everyone who is keeping this thread updated, by the way.

And I broke down and bought the Skylight Studio at full price 2 days ago! D'oh!

I love today's freebie, though! I'd been thinking of buying it for a while but hadn't decided. Now they decided for me!

Its odd.  All the free stuff I have gotten so far durring this shows up twice in my purchase history.

Same here. It's probably just a glitch and it hasn't affected anything else.

I love these deals! I've downloaded all but two (One which I forgot to do and one I already had) and I can't wait to get playing!

Today's free item is Mediterranean Villa Kitchen/Dining. I believe this is the last one so snap it up.

I can't find the sale one. All the sale items are 35% off apart from Business as Usual Bistro which is 20% off.

[Arefa]

The sale item for today is another venue the Le Cinema Plumbob for 35% off (reduced from 1,900 to 1,235).  This is not as good as the Black Friday Sale for the Cinema, however, if you missed it then at least it's on sale again!
