The Curly Lion is the August Pet of the Month, and I was lucky to find one at Five Below a few months ago. I’d been saving the Curly Lion, and I was so excited when it was announced that the Curly Lion would be the Pet of the Month for August.
I love the Curly Lion because it’s so unique. The Curly Lion gets its name from the curly ribbons that make up its mane and tail.
The curls are so fun and bouncy:
The Curly Lion has a long tail made of orange, yellow and brown ribbon:
One detail I really love about the Curly Lion are its eyebrows – they give its face so much personality and expression:
My Curly Lion is a boy, and I decided to name him “Steelo”:
You can see from the picture that the Curly Lion looks just as cute in Webkinz World as it does in real life. I think his curls are so adorable!
I really like the Curly Lion’s “Pet Specific Item. It’s called the “Majestic Wardrobe,” and it’s even decorated with curls!
If you click on the Majestic Wardrobe, you’ll see that it’s also a storage container for clothes:
Because the Curly Lion is August’s Pet of the Month, Steelo came with a special Pet of the Month gift box that included a Wish Token and 5 bonus Spree rolls.
But the best part of adopting a Pet of the Month is choosing your special Pet of the Month bonus gift!
I have quite a few of the Pet of the Month bonus gifts from adopting different pets and from the Trading Room. This time I decided to select the “Dex Dangerous Telescope.”
The Dex Dangerous Telescope is interactive. When you click on it, you get to look through the telescope at the stars….and a few surprises may even pop up if you watch for long enough!
After I chose my Pet of the Month bonus gift, I took Steelo to my “Filling Hearts Room” for some exercise. I recently revamped my Filling Hearts Room on my GABirdGirl account. As you can see, I used several items from the new “Ohh La La” theme available in the Ganz eStore.
Steelo went for a swim in the Stone Tile Swimming Pool:
Jumped on a trampoline:
Ran on a treadmill:
And even took a quick nap in the Ohh La La Bed:
After I filled up my Curly Lion’s heart, I decided to try a few outfits on him.
Here’s the park ranger outfit you might win with the 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags:
Then onto the Suave Turtleneck, which was this month’s gift for Deluxe Members:
Last but not least, here’s Steelo as an Arabian Prince. I think I like this outfit the best:
If you want to adopt your own Curly Lion, head over to the Ganz eStore. You can pick up the virtual Curly Lion for 8,000 eStore points. (Purchase eStore points at the Ganz eStore.)
Or, if you want the plush, it’s available for $12.99!
So that’s my look at adopting a Curly Lion. 🙂 What do you think about the Curly Lion? Let me know in the comments!
The 2017 Summer Clothing Line arrived at the Kinzstyle Outlet a couple of weeks ago, and I’m ready to take a look at what PJ Collie has delivered for this season!
There are 12 pieces in the 2017 Summer Clothing Line. They range in price from 220 kinzcash to 485 kinzcash. Of the 12 pieces, 4 of them are Deluxe only. (The picture below shows which items are Deluxe only – look for the gold star). This season the clothing line is more about creating entire outfits, whereas the 2017 Spring Clothing Line was more of a mix-and-match collection.
Let’s talk about prices:
If you want to buy all 12 pieces in the 2017 Summer Clothing line, it will cost you 3,750 kinzcash.
Now that we’ve dug into the details, let’s move onto the fashion!
I tried something new, and I hope you like it! I designed and built a “Fashion Show” room, complete with a runway, cameras and a dressing room.
Now you can watch a “live” fashion show and see how these clothes will really look on your pet.
It’s no surprise that the Patterned Yoga Pants and Top coordinate perfectly. After all, they have the same name! The two pieces are black with brightly colored stripes. The collar of the top is trimmed in yellow, which I think is a nice details. The Neon Kicks also match with the yoga outfit:
Here is Audrey, my Blue Persian Kitten, strutting her stuff on the runway in the yoga outfit:
Next up is another complete outfit – the “dressy” athletic suit, with pants, a tank top and sandals! Socks with sandals is a bit silly, but hey, Webkinz is all about having fun, right? The teal green color is pretty, and this outfit really looks comfy.
I like how you can tell that the sandals have adjustable velcro straps. It’s a detail that brings the outfit to life:
So, here is Princess, my Charcoal Cat, walking the runway in this outfit that’s both dressy and atheletic!
It wouldn’t be summer without a trip to the beach! The 2017 Summer Clothing Line has two swimwear pieces – a pair of trunks and a one piece swimsuit. We’ll check out the Sunrise Swim Trunks first.
I paired the swim trunks with the Boy Beach Tee because I think the light blue/turquoise colors match really well. I also added the Beachy Bucket Hat to keep the sun out of Biscuit’s eyes while he’s catching a wave:
Let’s take a look at Biscuit, my Golden Retriever, as he walks the runway in his beach gear:
The other piece of swimwear is the Sunflower Swimsuit. I love the color contrast between the navy blue suit and the bright golden sunflowers. There’s even a really cute sunflower right at the collar. I paired up the Sunflower Swimsuit with the Sunny Sunglasses. I think the yellows coordinate well:
Here’s is Sadie, my Mocha Pup, as she shows off her flower swimwear on the runway:
Last but certainly not least we have the beautiful Breezy Summer Dress. The Breezy Summer Dress, which is the most expensive item in the 2017 Summer Clothing Line, has such pretty gold and orange stitching. It really looks like it was embroidered by hand. The colors remind me of a sunset:
Here’s Evangeline, my Midnight Marten, as she “breezes” down the runway in this cute dress:
That’s all for our Fashion Show and that’s all for the 2017 Summer Clothing Line. Which are your favorite pieces in the collection? Are you going to buy them all or just a few items? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you a piece from the line via Kinzpost!
Update: I just found out that I made a mistake reporting on the Party Time theme. Three of the items in the collection are Deluxe only. I’ll fix the post soon! 🙂
On May 10th, a new room theme arrived in the WShop. It’s called “Party Time,” and it’s a collection of furniture and decorations to create a birthday party (or any type of party, really).
There are 14 items total in the Party Time collection.
Here’s a list of the items with their corresponding prices:
Without any coupons, buying the entire Party Time theme will cost you 6,455 kinzcash.
One of the great things about the Party Time room theme is that all of the items are available to all members. There are no items that are available exclusively to Deluxe members.
Here’s a large sized room I put together using only pieces from the Party Time theme:
To me the room seems a little bare with just the Party Time items. Maybe a smaller sized room would be better, or perhaps the Party Time room theme needs to be mixed/matched with other theme items.
There are two items in the Party Time room theme that I want to highlight – the Snacks and the Presents.These are my favorite items because they can be rotated to create different looks, like the Trolley Wardrobe in the Hotel Theme.
Let’s start with the Snacks.
This gif shows the transformation the Snacks go through when you rotate the item:
As you can see from the gif, there are 4 separate designs available within the Snacks – punch bowl, cupcakes, birthday cake and veggie/chip tray:
These snacks are pretty versatile. I can definitely think of lots of uses for all four designs. How about you?
Next let’s look at the Presents. Here’s another gif to show you the transformation:
As with the Snacks, there are 4 different looks hidden within just one item:
I love how you can create a unique looking pile of gifts by rotating and arranging the Presents – you can have everything from a solitary wrapped box to a mixture of boxes and gift bags. I think the Presents will be an item I will use in lots of different rooms.
Another item in the Party Theme that I want to spotlight is the Sink. The Sink is interactive. You can go from a clean, empty sink:
To a sink full of dishes:
These are some really cute details here – look at the confetti sprinkled around the basin of the sink – it really looks like your cleaning up after a party!
So, what do you think about the Party Time theme? Do you plan to buy the whole collection or just a few pieces? Which Party Time items are your favorite? Let me know in the comments for a Party Time prize via kinzpost. 🙂
Today is the start of the brand new Webkinz bake sale celebration! From now through April 30th, you can collect different baked goods and combine them on a stove to “cook up” one of 10 awesome prizes.
Last year’s Bake Sale was so much fun! I’m really excited that Ganz brought it back with new prizes and goodies! I have a few tips for Bake Sale success that I posted last year – click here to read the post and see how you can make the most of this bake sale fun.
Let’s start with the basics – if you want to cook up prizes, you first need to collect the ingredients. The ingredients are 5 different kinds of baked goods, and there are actually 5 different ways to collect them!
As I mentioned above, in total there are 5 different types of baked goods (and they all look so yummy!):
Even though these foods look super yummy, remember that you must cook a specific combination of baked goods on a stove in order to get the prizes – simply feeding them to your pet won’t work. (All of the recipes are available in a cookbook that you get for free just for logging into your account!)
The prizes for this year’s Bake Sale are a little different. There’s no particular theme like last year where you could build a sweet shop or a school cafeteria. This year is a mixture of furniture and accessories that will work with many different themes. There are 10 prizes total – are you going to try to cook up all 10?
Don’t forget about the Grand Prize! Feed your pet a slice of Blueberry Prize Pie for a chance to win this awesome nautical-themed bunk bed:
You can purchase a piece of Blueberry Prize Pie in the Ganz eStore for 2500 eStore points.
Or, if you’re lucky, you might win one when you spin the Wheel of Yum!
I purchased one slice of Blueberry Prize Pie and won another through the Wheel of Yum this morning. Take a look below to see what prizes I got:
Here’s a peek at 3 of the prizes I’ve collected so far:
First is the Mega Modern Carpet, which actually has two different styles/designs depending on which way you turn it:
(This carpet is in a room that I’m building for my Blue Avenue Pomeranian!)
Next is the Campkinz Lake Tile, which is smaller than I thought it would be:
I’m hoping I can make enough Campkinz Lake Tiles to fill up the ocean scene I’ve been working on:
You can see that I’ve used the Cozy Yacht Bed and several items available exclusively on Vacation Island. (Vacation Island is only available to Deluxe members!)
Last up I have the Fancy Hotel Dining Chair:
I’m really excited about this prize because it’s a perfect fit for the Hotel Theme. As you can see, I paired the Fancy Hotel Dining Chair with the Fancy Hotel Dining Table you can buy with Wish Tokens in the Wish Factory. (Remember that Deluxe members can earn tokens each day by spinning the Wheel of Wishes!)
Which of the Bake Sale prizes are your favorites? What’s your plan for collecting as many Baked Goods as possible? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you a prize from last year’s Bake Sale! 🙂
Webkinz recently released a new superbed. It’s called the “Cozy Yacht Bed” and features a helicopter landing pad where your pet can sleep.
Here are a couple of different views of the Cozy Yacht Bed in my pet’s room:
Superbeds are one of the most prized items in all of Webkinz World. These special and extremely unique beds can’t be bought in the WShop or even the Ganz eStore. To get your first Superbed, you must adopt 10 pets.
Upon adopting your 10th pet, you’ll see a “Super Exclusive Gift Box” show up in your dock. It looks like this:
Drag the box into your pet’s room, and it will pop open to reveal dozens of Superbeds you can choose from.
Once you’ve adopted 10 pets, you’ll get another Superbed gift box for every 5 more pets you adopt – so 15 pets, 20 pets, etc.
I was lucky that I had a Superbed gift box on hand when the Cozy Yacht Bed was released. I’m currently in the process of designing a room that features this new Superbed:
By combining blue flooring from the WShop and sandy beach tiles from the Vacation Island wheel, I was able to create a room that’s half land, half water. (Vacation Island is only open to players with a Deluxe membership.) As you can see, the Cozy Yacht Bed is out at sea, and I’ve started to decorate the land area with beach blankets and chairs.
Here are some of the other rooms where I’ve used Superbeds as part of my design:
Night Light Flower Bed
Acropolis Bed
Bookworm Bed
Musical Maestro Bed
Jewelry Box Bed
Over the Rainbow Bed
Sewing Superstar Bed
Bed of Roses
Pageant Princess Bed
Which Superbed is your favorite? Let me know in the comments! 🙂
Hello Webkinz friends! I’m sorry I’ve been away for a while. Sometimes I have to go out in the real world and be an adult. 🙂 Hopefully I won’t have to do that again for a bit!
Here are the two rooms that won the drawing for a Ganz eStore Puffer Vest!
Both of these rooms look like such a fun place to play!
Check out this awesome winter wonderland where you can walk through the snowy trees or take a turn on the Snow Fort Slide – which is a Winterfest Cookie grand prize! And look at that cute little panda hat this Webkinz pet is wearing. I believe that was a clothing item available in the 2016 Golden Cracker Gift. Look closely and you can see the piles of snowballs all ready for a snowball fight!
Our other winner is an indoor room. You can bounce in the beautiful winter bouncy castle (the prize for the December Deluxe Monthly Challenge) or jam out with your friends on the frozen guitar and drum set. I also love the beautiful grand staircases leading down into the room. So pretty!
Thank you to my winners for sharing these awesome room designs with us! If you want a Puffer Vest, head over to the Ganz eStore where you can pick one up – but only for a limited time!
If you need eStore points, now is a great time to buy them. You can get a free Amethyst Wardrobe when you buy 33,000 or more eStore points between now and February 15th!
Hello to all my Webkinz friends! I hope you enjoyed Winterfest, and I hope you caught plenty of snowflakes! 🙂
Winterfest is winding down, and Ganz is already getting geared up for Valentine’s Day. But I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to the Winterfest fun – that’s why I’m doing a Puffer Vest Giveaway!
Entering for your chance to win one of TWO Puffer Vests is simple: Send me a screenshot of a room where you used some of your Winterfest prizes to decorate! I’ll gather the screenshots and draw two random winners who will each get a code for a free Puffer Vest.
As always, you’ll need to email me (natbrownnat@gmail.com) in order to enter – it’s the only way I can provide you with the code if you’re the winner! I respect your privacy, and I will never, ever share your information with anyone. Your email is used only to send you the code if you’re a winner.
I’ll accept submissions from now until midnight (EST) on January 30th, and I’ll announce the winners in the morning on January 31st.
So, if you want a chance at a free Puffer Vest, available only in the Ganz eStore, email me a screenshot of your Winterfest creations at natbrownnat@gmail.com
I look forward to seeing your amazing rooms! Good luck!
Congratulations to rainbowtwingirls on winning the Ornament Outfit Contest!
Rainbowtwingirls submitted this beautiful Christmas room for me to share with my readers:
Rainbowtwingirls took the Home for the Holidays theme and really glammed it up with a fabulous collection of Christmas trees. That magnificent red sleigh that the reindeer is riding in was the special prize for December’s Deluxe Member monthly challenge.
Did you notice the gingerbread grandfather clock against the wall? You can buy that with the moneyz you earn by playing games on Webkinz Newz.
This really looks like a fun and festive place to spend Christmas! Check out all those presents under the tree, and there’s even a piano for a Christmas carol sing-along!
Thank you for sharing this incredible room with us, rainbowtwingirls! I hope you enjoy your ornament outfits.
The contest might be over, but you can still get your own ornament outfits at the Ganz eStore.
