First of all, we want to thank all the amazing and lovely comments and feedback we've gotten on our May bulletin. We want to keep this a monthly newspost, so be sure to share info, ideas and events with us, so we can include them!

Let's start with stats
We said it, and we'll say it again: What is more fun than statistics? We've again kept track of the community shop drops and created this graph for you*: 

*This is all done by hand, so do take the data with a grain of salt.

The community designers have released 165 drops with 862 items in June. That makes for a total of 453 drops and 2213 items since the launch of the community design tool. 

If you want to see more statistics about your own or your favorite designer, do check out the designer statistics page. You can either find it by clicking the icon behind the designer name on the item page, or find it on your/their profile under their model 'my designs'.

The released drops in June were varied, but we did spot some collective themes. This is what we picked out: 

PRIDE
The month of June is all about Pride! The shop already had some fun items in there and we're sure that there will be many more pride drops next weeks, when the designs get accepted.

Are you feeling bouquet?
The blooming flowers and trees have really inspired so many to add to the community shop. Look at all these colors!

Just keep swimming
With the weather getting warmer in many countries, it seems quite a lot of designers have been inspired by water or it's inhabitants. Splashing!

Through the design tool we often see fun, inspiring and beautiful background stories for items arise. And we want to highlight a few. 

1. The devil is in the details, and sometimes those details make us smile, even if we didn't see it ourselves. Just like a user who saw something in Re-Rau's design: "I love that your dress unintentionally has a small smiley face on it and Re-Rau didn't realize while designing" (item by Re-Rau) 

2. The Community Designer gives users the chance to add their favourite characters. But why stop at one if you can add a full trio of Trix. (items by LauraNadinex) 

3. The love and support within the gSm community amazes us from time to time. Again when this beautiful butterfly came to the community shop. The designer MissAuris shared about the item: "A dear user asked if someone could design butterfly items. She lost her baby a few weeks ago and butterflies symbolise a miscarriage. That’s why I added those items to my design." (item by MissAuris) 

And that's already the end of our overview of June '25. If you want to feature in a next edition, do share your stories in the item comments or let us know if you have ideas! We'd love to hear <3
