Ever wanted to go Deluxe? It’s half off today only!

I love being a Deluxe Member – in case you didn’t notice, I’m just a tiny bit obsessed with Webkinz. 🙂

Being a Deluxe Member gets me access to more games in the Arcade, lets me visit Vacation Island, scores me a gift box each month…and so much more!

If you’ve ever been interested in going Deluxe, but the cost has been too high, today might be the day that all changes! Webkinz Deluxe Memberships are on sale for 50% off today…and today only! I’ve never seen such a huge discount on Deluxe Memberships before. 🙂

A year long Deluxe Membership is less than $25 with this special promo code:

BFDM17

That’s less than $2 a month to get soooo many new Deluxe benefits. And if you order today, you’ll get a code for a FREE Dwarf Antelope!

So what do you think about Deluxe Memberships? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you a Deluxe gift via Kinzpost. (Make sure I know your name!) 🙂

Black Friday sales at the Ganz eStore will start in just a couple of days, and I don’t know about you, but I am really excited!

The one thing we do know for sure is that a special pet is coming: the Turtle Dove!

The Turtle Dove will only be available during the Black Friday Weekend. After that, this beautiful golden bird will be gone forever! The Turtle Dove will cost 10,000 eStore points for Deluxe Members, 12,500 eStore points for non Deluxe Members.

Be sure to visit my blog – Crazy 4 Webkinz – this week to get the scoop on the Black Friday sales as they’re announced by Ganz. You can even set an alert so you know when I publish a new post!

Let’s get ready for a fun week!

A Closer Look: Trapdoor

Today I’m going to take a closer look at the last of the three new Exclusive Items that were recently added to the Wish Factory. We’ve already seen the Messy Room Floor Tile and the Salad Bar Fridge, so today we’re going to check out the Trapdoor.

The Trapdoor, like the other two new Exclusive Items, costs 15 tokens. It looks like a wooden door with a metal ring for a handle and a ladder inside leading down:

To me the Trapdoor has a farmhouse feel to it. I think it works well with wood flooring, and the ladder made me think of the Jumbleberry themed rooms you can make with prizes from Jumbleberry Fields.

Here’s the Trapdoor in one of my Jumbleberry rooms. This room, which is still a work in progress, is a kitchen for making jam. (If you like the Jumbleberry room items, you can fill your jars faster by purchasing berry seeds in the Ganz eStore!)

The Trapdoor is interactive, but not in the way that you expect. Instead of providing storage for clothes or food, the Trapdoor “transports” you to a map of all your rooms. Take a look at what I mean:

So what do you think of the Trapdoor? Do you like this interactive feature? Which of these new Exclusive Items is your favorite? Let me know in the comments for a prize via Kinzpost! One lucky commenter just might get an Exclusive Item!

And if you want to earn extra Wish Tokens, take a look at a Deluxe Membership for a daily spin on the Wheel of Wishes! From now until March 24th, Deluxe Memberships are 25% off and come with a free pet, the Sheltie Puppy!

Cyber Monday Deal

I spent the weekend covering the huge Black Friday Sale at the Ganz eStore, so I’d be remiss not to mention the Cyber Monday deal happening today – 50% off the purchase of 60,000 eStore points or more! That’s 60,000 eStore points for $25!

Ganz is also celebrating Cyber Monday with the arrival of the Holly Fox. I purchased one this morning, and I’m really looking forward to adopting it – I think my Holly Fox will be  a girl, and I’ll name her Noel!

The sale on eStore points is good for today (Nov 28th) only, so hurry and get yourself all set for buying Christmas goodies, like surprise stockings and tinsel crackers!

Decorating with Black Friday Deals

One of my favorite Webkinz activities is designing rooms. (I’m still hoping to win that Room Design Award trophy someday!) There are a lot of great items in the Wshop, but I have to admit that I’m pretty hooked on the awesome furniture you can find in the Ganz eStore.

Some of my favorite decorating finds are actually on sale for 70% off right now. I thought it would be fun to showcase some of the rooms I’ve designed with these very inexpensive items.

For example, several of the items I used to create this “Library Bedroom” are on sale for 70% off right now:

My Library Bedroom is still a work in progress, so excuse some of the misplaced items. 🙂 The important thing is that you can make a room like this too with some of the 70% off items available during the Black Friday Sale.

First, we have the Persian Cat Library Wallpaper and the Persian Cat Library Flooring.

I also added a couple of Persian Personal Bookcases and two Bookworm Chairs.

Here’s a room I designed for my Grumpy Cat. Over in the lower right corner you can see a couple of Moon Flowers that I used for decoration.

Moon Flowers are 70% of 750 points, which means a final cost of only 375 eStore points!

I imagine that this room would be perfect for a Pageant Queen!

In the upper right hand corner you can see the Jammed Jewelry Box and the Jewelry Box Toy Chest I used to help decorate this room.

It took me quite a while to put this room together because I kept changing up the kitchen area. I finally traded for a second skunk strips fridge.

Between the two skunk striped refrigerators I’ve placed an Iridescent Counter.

I also used the Skunk Stripes Flooring.

I really love Halloween, so I made this Halloween party room last year and filled it up with lots of pets in costumes. I used the Halloween Dance Wallpaper, the Halloween Dance Floor and the Halloween Stereo System.

In this Butterfly Garden, I used the Aquamarine Butterfly Tree:

I know it doesn’t make sense to have a topiary in an indoor room, but I just love the way the Rosy Dolphin Topiary looks with all the other pinks and blues in this room I made for my Pink Dalmatian:

So those are just a few ideas for ways to use the Black Friday Sale items in your room designs. Which sale items do you like best? Have you been shopping the Ganz eStore sale?

A Mysterious Mixture of Mystery Bags

If you’ve been reading my blog, you probably know by now that I really love to collect clothes for my pets. One of my favorite ways to collect clothes is by purchasing Mystery Bags from the Ganz eStore.

Typically Ganz releases a Mystery Bag for each season, like the 2016 Spring Super Mystery Bag and the  2016 Summer Mystery Clothing bags. I usually buy up quite a few of these and make an “unboxing” video. If you haven’t seen them  yet, you can check out my 2016 Fall Mystery Clothing Bag video or my  2016 Summer Mystery Clothing Bags video.

Sometimes  instead of Mystery Bags it’s a food for your pet that awards a surprise, such as Fall Fest Soda or Winterfest Cookies. The clothing bags are my favorite, but the food packs are fun, too. I’ve done an unboxing video for Winterfest Snowflake Cookies and for the 2016 Fall Fest Soda.

One of the things that I love about the annual Black Friday sale at the Ganz eStore is the crazy low sale prices on Mystery Bags from past years. Say maybe you missed the 2016 Carton of White Chocolate Eggs . Well, right now it’s available for only 3500 eStore points!

I’ve got several bags to open, and I’ll post a video as soon as I can. In the meantime, what surprises have you won in bags or with special foods in the past? Do you enjoy Mystery Bags, too?

The chewing noises are back…and so am I!

Hey everyone! I’ve missed you all so much! Life has been busy in the “real world” for a while now, but I’m back and ready to blog!

Webkinz got a Wednesday update today, and the chewing/swallowing noises are back. So what do you think? Do you like them or wish they’d go away again?

Don’t forget to login on Thanksgiving for your gift basket and other fun activities and prizes, and stay tuned to my blog on Black Friday as I keep you updated on all the awesome sales happening at the Ganz eStore, including the Sugar Plum Sparkle Pegasus and 70% off assorted items. (The Sugar Plum Sparkle Pegasus will ONLY be available through November 27th!)

Unboxing Webkinz 2016 Carton of White Chocolate Eggs

As I mentioned the other day, I went a bit nuts with the 20/20 After Dark Sale at the Ganz eStore. One thing I did was buy a Carton of White Chocolate Eggs since they’re about to leave the Ganz eStore – actually, I think they’re probably already gone! A while back I opened another carton of eggs that I won from being a finalist in the Room Design Awards. So, I combined the two videos into one to reveal a double unboxing of white chocolate eggs. I got some cool prizes, and some prizes I wasn’t super excited about, but I always enjoy being surprised.

Here’s the video:

Ganz eStore 20/20 Sale

Well, it turns out I went a little crazy with the Ganz eStore 20/20 sale – spend 20,000 points and get 20% off your purchases.

I combined the 20/20 sale (also known as the “After Dark Sale”) with the special promo code for 30% off eStore points and got myself 33,000 eStore points for $20.99.

Yes…that’s a bit crazy, I know! 🙂 But hey, it’s one of the perks of being a grownup – I can buy imaginary clothes with real money if I want to!

Because the theme of the sale was “After Dark,” items and pets related to the theme were on sale as well. So, I finally got myself the Midnight Marten I’ve had my eye on for a long time! I haven’t adopted it yet because I’m still working on the perfect name.

Another pet I bought was a Moon Fox. I adopted her this morning and named her Luna.

The Moon Fox’s pet specific item (PSI) is the Blue Moon Lagoon, which I think looks really cool. I’m trying to think of a room theme that would go well with this PSI:

In addition to the two pets, I bought a Night at the Movies Wardrobe, a carton of white chocolate eggs (unboxing video soon to come!) and some clothes, including a mermaid outfit that I’ve never seen before.

I guess that’s about all for now. I’m going to start working on my unboxing video for the 2016 Carton of White Chocolate Eggs. (I won another carton a couple of months ago when I was a finalist in the Room Design Awards.)

Have a great day! 🙂
