A Closer Look: Cafe Fireplace

It’s been an exciting summer so far in Webkinz World, with the 2017 Berry Fest and new Jumbleberry prizes, a summer clothing line and new prizes in the Spree Mall.

I made it to the Spree Mall with my TreeHuggerJess account, and I had enough mall credits to pick up the Cafe Fireplace.

The Cafe Fireplace costs 750 mall credits:

As you probably guessed, the Cafe Fireplace makes a  nice addition to a Cafe-themed room:

The brick isn’t a perfect match, but it’s close. The wood on the top and bottom of the fireplace matches well with the wood in the cafe wallpaper and flooring. I like the idea of a warm fireplace in a cozy little coffee shop.

The Cafe Fireplace is an interactive item. You can click on the fireplace to ignite a glowing, flickering fire:

I think the animation for the Cafe Fireplace is really well done. You definitely get a feeling that the fireplace is glowing. I also like that Ganz gave us an item that matches with another theme – like the way that the Fancy Hotel Dining Table matches with the Hotel theme.

What do you think of the Cafe Fireplace? What ideas do you have for using the Cafe Fireplace in a room design? Let me know in the comments for a cafe prize via Kinzpost!

If you love playing Spree – and you want to earn those mall credits faster – head to the Ganz eStore and pick up some bonus Spree rolls.

You can use your Ganz eStore Points to purchase either 5 or 10 bonus rolls to help you get to the Spree Mall even faster!

A Closer Look at New Spree Prizes: Trampoline, Cake and Pizza

New prizes recently debuted in the Spree Mall, and I was able to pick up a few last week. With the mall credits I had saved up I bought the Fun Floor Trampoline, the Pile of Pizza and the Platter Birthday Cake.

Let’s take a closer look at each of these new Spree prizes!

Fun Floor Trampoline

The Fun Floor Trampoline is a cheerful green color and really quite large. As you can see, the Fun Floor Trampoline is made to look like it’s set into the floor. It’s interactive, as you probably guessed. One fun thing about this trampoline is that your pets twirl in the air when they jump on it, rather than just bouncing up and down like they do on the regular trampoline that’s available in the WShop.

Pile of Pizza

The Pile of Pizza is a stack of pizza boxes with the Pizza Palace logo on them. Like several of the new Webkinz items that have been added recently, the Pile of Pizza can be turned for 4 different looks:

Here’s the way the Pile of Pizza transforms when you turn it:

Platter Birthday Cake

The Platter Birthday Cake looks sooo yummy! 🙂 It’s a white cake that features 4 blue candles that light up when you click on the cake. Here’s a gif that shows the candles turning off and on:

I’m close to reaching the Spree Mall on my  TreeHuggerJess account, so hopefully I’ll have more new prizes to show you very soon! Which of these three prizes is your favorite? What are you saving up your mall credits to buy?

If you just can’t wait to get to the Spree Mall to check out all the new prizes, you can purchase extra turns at the Ganz eStore using your eStore points! You can purchase a 5 pack or a 10 pack. 🙂

2017 Spring Clothing Line has arrived!

I am very excited to announce the arrival of the 2017 Spring Clothing Line in the Kinzstyle Shop! I hope you stocked up on your favorite items from the 2016 Fall Clothing Line because it was retired earlier this week.

I am absolutely thrilled with the spring clothing collection PJ Collie has put together for us. 🙂 The pieces all mix and match so well, and the main colors – pale blue and mint green – are just perfect for spring. In addition to several pieces of clothing, there are a couple of pairs of shoes and some really fun (and cute!) accessories. You’re going to love putting together spring celebration outfits for your pets!

You can find all 12 of the pieces of the 2017 Spring Clothing Line in the “new” section at the Kinzstyle Outlet:

Before we get to the fashion show, let’s break down the 2017 Spring Clothing Line by name and price – notice that four of the items are only available to Deluxe members:

1. Blue Gumboots 240 kinzcash
2. Cinched Sweater 400 kinzcash
3. Dark Blue Paisley Shorts 215 kinzcash
4. Floral Headband 135 kinzcash
5. Light Green Slacks 290 kinzcash (Deluxe only)
6. Lightly Layered Skirt 380 kinzcash (Deluxe only)
7. Lovely Spring Sunglasses 180 kinzcash
8. Paisley Newsboy 225 kinzcash (Deluxe only)
9. Pretty Bow Flats 215 kinzcash
10. Spring Gradient Tee 250 kinzcash
11. Springtime Trench 450 kinzcash
12. Springy Vest 230 kinzcash (Deluxe only)

Now it’s time to see how these items look on some Webkinz pets! I hope that these outfits I put together will help you decide which pieces from the 2017 Spring Clothing Line you want most. Or maybe you want all 12 pieces!

First up is my Blue Persian Kitten named Audrey – I wanted to showcase my two absolute favorite items from the 2017 Spring Clothing Line: the Floral Headband and the Lovely Spring Sunglasses:

I paired these adorable accessories with a Bluebird Dress (a clothing item that was available in the 2016 Summer Mystery Clothing Bag). I absolutely love the way the little yellow details in the flowers match the yellow ribbon on the dress.

Now let’s take a look at a couple of the items that are only available to Deluxe members – the Light Green Slacks and the matching Springy Vest:

This outfit is being modeled by Luna, my Moon Fox. The top is called a Springy Vest, but it’s actually a vest over top of a blue button down shirt. I’ve added the Lovely Spring Glasses to the look because I think the green of the frames match perfectly with the color of the pants and vest. Overall, I just think this is a really hip and cool look.

Here’s a look at my Grumpy Cat modeling the Springtime Trench:

The Springtime Trench costs 450 kinzcash, making it the most expensive item in the whole collection. The Springtime Trench is the only piece in the 2017 Spring Clothing Line that features the color pink. Pink is one of my favorite colors, so I’m loving the flowers on this trench coat and the matching pink belt.

To play up the pink in the Springtime Trench, I paired it with a pair of Designer High Heels, which are a prize you can buy at the Spree Mall. (Get to the Spree Mall even faster when you purchase bonus turns at the Ganz eStore!)

Now we’ll take a look at my Black Panther Muerta modeling a fresh look for a warm spring day:

The Pretty Bow Flats are another one of my favorite items in this line. They’re very versatile, and I am sure I’ll be pairing them up with lots of different outfits from all sorts of collections. To keep the look light and airy, I paired up the Lightly Layered Skirt with the Basic White Tank Top (a piece from the “PJ Collie gets back to basics” collection). I love the swirling designs on the Lightly Layered Skirt and the wide range of blues. Of course I had to add the Floral Headband for an extra girlie touch!

So speaking of many shades of blue, let’s take a look at the Spring Gradient Tee:

The Spring Gradient Tee is being modeled here by Sadie, my mocha pup. I decided to give Sadie an outdoorsy look, like she’s ready to go on a nice spring hike. Besides just being pretty, I like the Spring Gradient Tee because of the little details, like the collar and the button on the front. The sleeves are puffed, so you could use this shirt to create a much dressier outfit if you wanted to.

The shorts are Cuff Chinos, which were a prize in the August Deluxe Gift Box. I also added some Blue Camo Sneakers so Sadie can play outdoors and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. 🙂 The Blue Camo Sneakers came in the June Deluxe Gift Box. If you’re into collecting clothes like I am, then you’ll love the monthly Deluxe Gift Boxes. Each one features a special piece of clothing you can’t get anywhere else. In fact, they’re so exclusive that you can’t even buy them in the eStore!

If you find yourself jumping through mud puddles after a spring shower, then you’ll want a pair of the Blue Gumboots:

I decided to have my Black Panther model the Blue Gumboots by themselves so you can see all of the great details. For instance, I really like the strap with the gold buckle at the top. As you can see, the soles are very rugged, which is a bit different than the way the boots are pictured in the Kinzstyle Outlet. These Blue Gumboots would look really cute with the rain jacket and hat you can win in the 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags.

Muerta is going to model for us one last time:

I brought back the Basic White Tank Top to put together the Dark Blue Paisley Shorts and the Paisley Newsboy. (The Paisley Newsboy is only available to Deluxe members.) These shorts and this hat are obviously a perfect match, but each piece individually is also great. A lot of attention to detail went into creating this paisley pattern. With all these shades of blue, I bet the Dark Blue Paisley Shorts would look good with the Spring Gradient Tee as well. I finished off the look with the Pretty Bow Flats because I love how fresh and clean the white accessories make the outfit feel.

Last but certainly not least, we’ve got Taffy, my Ribbon Yorkie, modeling the Cinched Sweater:

The Cinched Sweater costs 400 kinzcash, making it the second most expensive item in the collection. I love the striped/swirly belt that “cinches” the waist of the sweater, and the fluffy cuffs and matching fluffy hem make this sweater feel more dressy than the other very casual items in the 2017 Spring Line. I mixed and matched a lot with Taffy’s outfit, combining the Plain Black Skirt with some very dressy Pearl Sandals (sometimes available at the Ganz eStore). Once again, the Floral Headband is a perfect match. I really love how these greens and blues coordinate – these colors make it so easy to put together great outfits!

Well, that’s the whole 2017 Spring Clothing Line! 🙂 What’s your favorite item? Which items are you planning to buy? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you an item from the 2017 spring collection via Kinzpost!

A Closer Look: Girl’s Bunk Bed

A few weeks ago I took a look at some of the new items available to purchase in the Spree Mall with your mall credits. Today I’m back with a look at another one of the new Spree prizes – the Girl’s Bunk Bed!

The Girl’s Bunk Bed is available for 1600 mall credits. As you can see, it’s a super cute set of white wooden bunk beds with pink blankets and plenty of pillows.

Here’s a look at the Girl’s Bunk Bed from a couple of different angles:

And here’s how the Girl’s Bunk Bed looks with two pets sleeping in it:

Last but not least, here’s a further back view of the bed in a pet’s room:

There’s also a Boy’s Bunk Bed available for 1600 mall credits. It’s blue and features Dex Dangerous on the blankets. I don’t have this bed yet, but here’s an image I pulled up on Google:

A Closer Look: New Spree Prizes!

Hello my Webkinz friends! I’m sorry I’ve been away so long! I started a new business venture in my real world (non-Webkinz!) life, and I’ve been busy, busy, busy! But, I’m back now, and I’m ready to share with you some pics of the newest prizes available at the mall when you play Spree.

First up is the Spree Seat – which costs 83 mall credits:

Your pet can sit on this item:

I bought two Spree Seats and put them in my Arcade Room:

Next up is the Fiona Feathers Plushy for 320 mall credits. There are a lot of great details in her outfit:

Fiona makes a really cute plushy! Here she is hanging out with Daisy Doe:

Here’s the Backwards Ball Cap (130 mall credits). I think it looks pretty cute on my black cat Licorice:

And here’s a couple more views of the Backwards Ball Cap:

Last but certainly not least is the Fast Food Drive Through Window, available for 640 mall credits:

The Drive Through Window is really cool because it’s interactive. When your pet goes up to the window, a car pulls up!

Here’s a look at the Drive Through Window in a restaurant themed room:
