Webkinz 2017 Summer Mystery Clothing Bags

Hello Webkinz friends! I hope you’ve been enjoying your summer! 🙂 I definitely have! One of the things I like best about the change of seasons in Webkinz world is the arrival of new mystery clothing bags.

The 2017 Summer Mystery Clothing Bags arrived at the Ganz eStore earlier this month. I had some eStore points saved up from my Deluxe membership, so I was able to buy several bags, and I got lots of really cute and fun new clothes for my pets…and some great items for trading!

I always like to make videos when I open up bags or boxes, and this time was no exception. 🙂 I hope you enjoy the video! Let me know in the comments which pieces of clothing you like best!

If you like the clothes I got from my 2017 Summer Mystery Clothing Bags, head over to the Ganz eStore and check out the different price options for eStore points. (There are lots of other fun items on sale to celebrate summer!)

 

Sassy Seafaring Theme

Last month I wrote about the Nautical Navy theme and how Ganz was trying something new by offering the theme items in mystery boxes. This month Ganz has released a companion theme called “Sassy Seafaring.”

I say it’s a companion theme because the items in the Sassy Seafaring collection mix and match very well with the items in the Nautical Navy theme.

I already have some of Nautical Navy items, so I decided to add onto that collection and start building a nautical themed nursery. My first step was to buy the Sassy Seafaring Wallpaper and the Sassy Seafaring Flooring from the Ganz eStore.

Next I bought three mystery boxes – it’s called a  Sassy Seafaring ?? Box.

Box #1: A Sassy Seafaring Crib

Your pet can sleep in the Sassy Seafaring Crib:

Box #2: Another Sassy Seafaring Crib

Box #3: A Sassy Seafaring Laundry Hamper

The Sassy Seafaring Laundry Hamper is actually a clothing storage container:

As was the case with the Nautical Navy items, the Sassy Seafaring mystery box items are tradeable.

Here’s a look at the room that I’ve put together so far – the blue rocking chairs and the giant teddy bear (which is a slide) are from the Nautical Navy theme. It still has a long way to go!

What do you think of these two new themes? Do you like the mystery boxes? Let me know in the comments!

A new approach to a new theme: Nautical Navy

If you’ve browsed through the Ganz eStore recently, then you’ve probably come across the Nautical Navy theme, specifically the Nautical Navy ?? Box.

One thing you’ll notice right away is that Nautical Navy theme is being sold in a completely new and different way – instead of selecting individual pieces to buy, the only way to get a Nautical Navy item is to buy a Nautical Navy ?? Box, which awards one random piece of the theme.

These are the items in the collection:

As you can see from the picture above, the items awarded by the Nautical Navy ?? Box are all tradeable.

I was curious about how these new mystery boxes would work, so I bought three of them. I wound up with two Nautical Navy Rocking Chairs and one Nautical Navy Slide.

Both items are animated and interactive, as you can see in the gifs below:

Here’s a picture to give you an idea of the scale of these two items:

You can see from the picture that the Nautical Navy Slide is quite large in comparison to my pet and the other furniture.

The Nautical Navy theme is designed for building a nursery with an ocean/ship theme. Some of the pieces, though, would work in any beach or ocean inspired room.

What do you think about the new way Ganz is offering the Nautical Navy items? On the one hand, you can end up with duplicates like I did, and it’s not possible to select a specific item to buy.

On the other hand, the mystery boxes are fun, and they’re a great value. Deluxe Members pay 2,250 eStore points (regular members pay 4,000) for an item that would normally cost 5,000 to 6,000 eStore points.

Will you be buying a Nautical Navy ?? Box? Do you hope that Ganz offers more of these mystery box themes in the future?
