Unboxing: 2016 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags

I can’t help myself…I’m just addicted to collecting special and hard-to-find clothes for my Webkinz! Naturally, when I found out that Ganz had released the 2016 Spring Mystery Clothing Bag, I knew I had to buy one…or five! 🙂

Here’s a video I made of me “unboxing” five of these mystery clothing bags.

Random Updates: Floaty Clicky, Eager Beaver Badge and new Token Balloon Darts prize

Hello, my fellow Webkinz fans! I’ve had a few random updates I’ve been wanting to share, but none of them really seemed like the makings of an entire blog post. So, I decided to combine them all into one!

First, as you’ve probably noticed, there’s a new Floaty Clicky happening. Like the Marshmallow Bunnies, the Pink Chocolate Egg is a promo for a Ganz eStore item, the “Chocolate Egg Evergreen.”

Combine these random eStore promos and the coins I posted about the other day, and there’s a lot of floating and clicking go on in Webkinz World right now!

Next up, the new Eager Beaver badge I recently earned:

I didn’t even know that the “Skillfully Built” Badge existed, so this was a fun surprise! I was awarded the badge for the making word “squeezed” during a game of Eager Beaver:

I’ve been doing some reading and researching, and the general consensus seems to be that you earn the Skillfully Built Badge for a word that’s worth 1100 points or more. Have you won this badge yet? Do you play Eager Beaver?

Last but not least, I was excited about the new prize I got while playing Token Balloon Darts, the “Spring Has Sprung Chair”:

I’ve never come across this particular room item before – have you ever seen the Spring Has Sprung Chair? I was wondering if it was from a spring celebration prize pool from a few years ago or something like that.

It’s a cute chair, and I think it will go well in a couple of different rooms I’ve been working on, so maybe I’ll win more! Have you won any of these chairs lately?

That’s all from me for now – what’s been happening lately in Webkinz World for you?

Floating Coin: New Webkinz Floaty Clicky

I noticed a new Webkinz Floaty Clicky this morning as I was playing: a floating gold coin that looks like this:

floating coin

When you click on the coin, this message pops up:

floating coin 2

BUT – there’s something you need to do first! You need to locate the stack of coins (called a “Coin Gift Box”) in your dock and then drag and drop it into your pets room to “release” the coin that can actually be sold to the W Shop:

floating coin 7

Now that the coin and not the Gift Box is in your dock, you can sell it to the W Shop, and you’ll receive the value of the coin back in kinzcash:

floating coin 10

One thing you might have noticed from the picture of my dock is that the Coin Gift Boxes have different values. So far I’ve received a “bronze” box (worth 50 kinzcash) and a “gold” box (worth 250 kinzcash). I haven’t received any “silver” boxes yet.

Also, you can collect at least 5 coins per day because that’s how many I’ve collected so far on just one account. But the max might be more than that – we’ll just have to figure it out together!

So what do you think of this new Floaty Clicky? Have you found any floating coins?

Spring 2016 Clothing Line

The Spring 2016 clothing line was released in the KinzStyle Outlet recently, and I wanted to give you a preview of how these clothing items really look on your pets.

Here’s a quick look at the entire Spring 2016 Collection:

spring 2016 clothing collection

As you can see, the collection is made up of 12 new clothing items, including sunglasses, a hat and two pairs of shoes. (Just ignore the zany Christmas sweater). Four of the the new items are only available to Deluxe Members.

Going from left to right in the photo above, here are the names and prices for each piece of clothing:

  1. Baby Blue Panama Hat (Deluxe Only): 250 kinzcash
  2. Blue Fringed Skirt (Deluxe Only): 300 kinzcash
  3. Floral Belted Dress: 400 kinzcash
  4. Floral pumps (Deluxe Only): 275 kinzcash
  5. Geometric Patterned Shirt: 310 kinzcash
  6. Hawaiian Shorts With Leggings: 340 kinzcash
  7. Pretty Floral Capris: 310 kinzcash
  8. Turquoise Slacks (Deluxe Only): 355 kinzcash
  9. Yellow Asymmetrical Blouse: 190 kinzcash
  10. Yellow Bowling Jacket: 400 kinzcash
  11. Yellow Suede Oxfords: 200 kinzcash
  12. Yellow Sunnies: 120 Kinzcash

Yellow seems to be a main theme in the 2016 Spring Line, as well as floral patterns. One thing I like about this collection is that a lot of the pieces can be mixed and matched together.

Here are some outfits I put together using these new clothing items:

Go see Sophie in the Clubhouse

I discovered something new last night when I was in the Clubhouse waiting for the Leprechaun. If you go into the Upbeat Chic Room, you’ll see Sophie (the eStore mascot).

Click on Sophie for a free Upbeat Mocha:

The Upbeat Mocha is a food item, so it’s for feeding to your pet and not for decoration. (I wasn’t sure at first!) It’s so pretty to look at that I wish was a room decoration, though.

Quick Tip: Finding the Leprechaun

leprechaun chase

The search for the Leprechaun officially started today (March 11th), and I’ve got a quick tip on how to make the search easier.

To win the grand prize, you need to find the Leprechaun in the Clubhouse once a day every day through March 17th, which is St. Patrick’s Day. The grand prize is pretty cool this year – a “lucky” go kart:

lucky go kart

Finding the Leprechaun once a day doesn’t sound too hard, and it’s not really hard, just pretty boring. Basically, you enter any room in the Clubhouse and just wait for the Leprechaun to appear. Sometimes you wait and wait and wait…

I don’t have any advice for making the Leprechaun magically appear, but I can tell you how I make the process less tedious. It’s really simple – turn up the volume on your computer!

When the Leprechaun appears he announces his presence with a little saying in an Irish accent. So, the good news is that you don’t have to sit and stare at the Clubhouse. Just minimize the window, find another site to browse or play a game on Webkinz Newz, and wait until you hear the Leprechaun’s arrival. Then open the window back up and click on him to be awarded one of six colored “jelly coins.”

Here’s what the Leprechaun looks like in the Clubhouse:

Have you found the Leprechaun yet? Are you excited about the lucky go kart?

Webkinz Quick Draw

A couple of days ago I won the Webkinz Quick Draw.

This was my first time winning one, and I usually don’t play the Quick Draw – it’s a bit boring, and I figured the odds of winning were pretty low. Winning was definitely a surprise! The drawing was for a random item from the Curio Shop, and I got a pair of bumble bee pants.

If you’re curious what it looks like to win the Webkinz Quick Draw, here’s a pic of the message that popped up:

I was also awarded a new badge, which I thought was pretty cool:
