In case you couldn’t guess from my website’s logo, I am a huge animal lover. Cats are quite possibly my favorite animal and have been since I was a little girl. So, when I saw the Lil’ Spring Kittens in the Ganz eStore, I knew I wanted to adopt one! 🙂
Purple and pink are my favorite colors, but I already have several pink Webkinz pets, so I decided to adopt a purple kitten, and I named her Jellybean.
As I’m sure you noticed from the name, these kittens are Lil Kinz, which means they are about half the size of a regular Webkinz pet:
A Lil’ Kinz will always appear smaller than the other Webkinz, including in the Clubhouse or if you win high score of the day in the Arcade:
Even though they’re smaller in size, these Lil’ Kinz can do everything that other Webkinz can do and come with all of the same types of prizes.
I think I’ve mentioned in the past that I really enjoy the Trading Room. (Be on the lookout for a blog post on Trading Room tips!) For me, the best part of the Trading Room is getting “Pet Specific Items,” often referred to as a PSI for short.
A PSI is the special item that comes with a Webkinz when it is adopted. The PSI will relate to the specific pet in some way, such as in its design, color or function.
For example, the Peace n’ Love Puppy has the Chillaxin’ Couch:
And the Blue Avenue Pomeranian has the Blue Avenue Day Bed:
You can’t buy a PSI in the WShop or even at the eStore. The only way to get a specific PSI is to adopt that pet or try to find one in the Trading Room.
The reason I brought up pet specific items is because the Lil’ Purple Spring Kitten comes with an awesome PSI – it’s called the Purple Spring Egg Cottage, and it looks like a little house made from an Easter egg, complete with a front door and flowers in the window box:
Each Lil’ Spring Kitten comes with an Egg Cottage. The color of the Egg Cottage you get is the same color as the kitten!
The Purple Spring Egg Cottage is an animated item. Your pet can go inside it, and then the windows light up and the chimney smokes:
I’ve been putting together an Easter Village room with a wide variety of items – prizes from past Spring Celebrations, White Chocolate Egg prizes, pet specific items, etc. It’s still a work in progress, but I love the way the Purple Spring Egg Cottage looks in my Easter Village:
And just because she’s so cute, here’s a look at Jellybean getting a workout in my “Filling Hearts” room:
Jumping on the trampoline:
Swimming in the pool:
Running on the treadmill:
There is a whole collection of Lil’ Spring Kinz available at the Ganz eStore. Which Lil’ Spring Kinz is your favorite? The calf or goat? Or how about the corgi? Let me know in the comments!
(And be on the lookout for a Lil’ Blue Springtime Chick giveaway very soon!!!)
I’m so excited! The 2018 White Chocolate Eggs have arrived in the Ganz eStore!
There are 8 different prizes you can win from this year’s white chocolate eggs, plus the Grand Prize, which is the Weathered Stone Cottage:
You can either purchase a carton of white chocolate eggs (a carton contains 6 eggs) for 5,000 eStore points or a single white chocolate egg for 2,500 eStore points.
I bought a couple of cartons this afternoon, and I love the prizes I won. I decided to make a short video showing the prizes I got as I “unboxed” the 12 eggs:
One thing you’ll notice about the prizes in the 2018 White Chocolate Eggs is that they coordinate with the prizes in the Chocolate Eggs that you can collect during Spring Celebration in Webkinz World that runs from March 23rd to April 1st.
For example, the Dragon Fly Wall Art and the Butterfly Wall Art match perfectly. The two decorations would look awesome together – maybe a flower themed room or a room with lots of purple and turquoise furniture.
I was lucky enough to win a Butterfly Wall Art prize from one of the white chocolate eggs I fed my pet:
The Butterfly Wall Art has such a realistic look to it. You can really see the glint of the beads that decorate the wire wings, and I like how the butterfly has dimension and folds away from the wall.
I’m not sure where the Butterfly Wall Art will go yet, but here’s a look at in a Year 10 Anniversary room. I probably wouldn’t leave it here, but the colors do go well together:
Speaking of butterflies, I simply adore the Playful Butterfly prize! The Playful Butterfly is an animated item and features butterflies that flutter in the air.
It wasn’t until I looked at the item in my dock that I realized that the Playful Butterfly actually has 4 different looks depending on which way the item is turned. The number and color of the butterflies changes:
I’m really excited about using the Playful Butterflies in the butterfly garden room that I’ve been working on.
You probably noticed the stream on the left side next to the Playful Butterflies. I built that stream out of the Fresh Water Stream Tiles. You can win straight and curved tiles:
The Fresh Water Stream Tiles have such a vibrant, spring feel. The blue of the water is like the clear skies, and little white spring flowers are growing along the banks with some rocks and willows.
If you like the the Creepy Creek Tiles from the Freaky Forest Theme, then you’re really going to love the Fresh Water Stream Tiles.
You can always count on lots of different types of flowers being awarded during these chocolate egg events in Webkinz World. This year is no exception! When you feed your pet a 2018 White Chocolate Egg you could win one of three colors of Wild Rose Bushes: pink, blue and white.
These rose bushes are full of brightly colored blossoms and would make a great addition to any garden. As you can see in the picture below, the Wild Rose Bushes are quite a bit taller than the other flowers that you can win during the Spring Celebration:
I still haven’t won a Spring Chick Plushy, so the last prize I have to show you today is the Iron Wood Side Table:
The Iron Wood Side Table is a cute match with the Iron Wood Watering Can:
I’ll probably put my Iron Wood Side Table in an outdoors room to create the look that my pet is working on their garden. But, the table does look good in an indoor room as well, such as the farmhouse room I’ve been building from Jumbleberry Fields prizes:
What is your favorite prize from the 2018 White Chocolate Eggs? Let me know in the comments!
Spring is approaching quickly…to help you get ready for the upcoming season in Webkinz World, PJ Collie just released the 2018 spring clothing line! Before you head to the KinzStyle Outlet to buy your spring wardrobe, let’s take a closer look at each of the pieces.
There are 12 items total in the 2018 spring clothing line. You’ll see that most of the clothing items are coral or pastel yellow. (To me the coral looks pink, but I’ll go with what PJ Collie says!) 🙂
Here’s a list of the names of the 12 items in the 2018 spring clothing line…4 of the 12 items are only available to Deluxe members:
All 12 items add up to a grand total of 4,177 kinzcash.
One of the first things you’ll notice about the 2018 spring clothing line is that three of the pieces can be combined into a tracksuit outfit. When you add the Checkerboard High Tops, your pet will be ready for a walk in the spring air!
I put the coral tracksuit on Jillian, my Jolly Jubilee Otter:
I love how the stripes tie all of these pieces together, and the coral is such a pretty shade. It’s very striking against the black and white. The coral shoelaces on the sneakers are one of my favorite details.
Jillian looks so comfy and sporty in her spring tracksuit!
And of course, you can peek down at the bottom left corner and see Jillian wearing the Coral Striped Toque.
Take a look at Jillian strutting her stuff on the runway in this coral, pink and white tracksuit outfit. Those checkerboard sneakers are so much fun!
Next up is Princess, my Charcoal Cat, and she is wearing my favorite piece from the 2018 spring clothing line which is the Shimmer Sleeve Top.
I’ve paired the Shimmer Sleeve Top with the Coral Ruffled Pants for a cute and frilly look. I really like how the sleeves of the shirt seem to be covered in sequins. The pants have a great texture. They look like a sheer, flouncy fabric that would be just perfect for springtime.
I added the Coral Pink Frames to this outfit just for fun…Princess looks really smart in these glasses!
Here’s Princess as she prances down the runway in her spring style:
I decided to put the Cheerful Shirt and Cheerful Glasses on Digger, my Prairie Dog:
I paired these items with brown pants and brown shoes to tie in the details on the collar and cuffs of the Cheerful Shirt.
You can see Digger in the bottom of the screen sporting his trendy new glasses!
Check out Digger in his new duds as he walks the runway:
Last up is Shimmer, my Magical Retriever. Shimmer is wearing the Cheerful Beret and Floral Cami Tee:
I love the pink flowers on this yellow beret. They give the hat such a fresh, springtime feel. I also think the pink (coral?) flowers coordinate nicely with the floral design on this layered tee. Just add a pair of jeans and you’ve got an outfit that’s perfect for just about any springtime activity.
Shimmer looks adorable in peeking out in her yellow hat and glasses:
Check out Shimmer showing off this fun look on the runway:
Here are some other looks I put together using clothing from the 2018 spring line as well as clothing and accessories I already had:
Audrey’s Light Summer Shoes coordinate so well with the coral top:
Evangeline, my Midnight Marten, looks ready for the beach in these Hawaiian Sunset Pants:
Shadow, my Grey Arabian, is rocking the Black Lattice Shoes along with the Growing Garden Dress:
Pippa, my Lovely Love Kitten, is having fun in her Pretty Bow Flats and Zebra Stripe Shirt:
My Pink Pony Alexis is a bit dressier in these Basic Black Pumps paired with Charcoal Cotton Leggings:
And here’s my Black Panther Muerta in Faded and Frayed Shorts along with some super cute Ruffled Sun Sandals:
And just for fun to wrap it all up, here’s a very quick little fashion show…which 2018 spring clothing line pieces can you spot?
I’m sure you can guess that I was *very* excited about the arrival of the 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags at the Ganz eStore. I started out by buying four mystery clothing bags, and then I just kept buying and buying! 🙂
It’s been a while since I’ve made a video, so I decided to do one where I open/unbox all of the 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags I purchased. There are so many that I had to do the video in fast motion.
If you like the clothes I won in my 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags, then head over to the Ganz eStore and pick some up…they won’t be around forever! And don’t forget that Deluxe members get a discounted price!
I hope you enjoy the video!
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.
Which piece of clothing is your favorite? Which pieces are you hoping to collect?
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:
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:
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:
What are your favorite pieces from the 2016 Spring Line? Personally, I really like the Floral Pumps, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the Blue Fringed Skirt looks when you put it on your pet.
Tell me what you think of these new additions to the KinzStyle Oulet – first person to comment will receive an item from the 2016 Spring Clothing Line via Kinzpost!
