A Closer Look: 2018 Winterfest Cookie Prizes

Winterfest is well underway in Webkinz World, and if you’re like me, you’ve already collected quite a few of this year’s Winterfest prizes.

One way to win 2018 Webkinz Winterfest prizes is to catch the falling snowflakes that randomly appear on the screen while you’re playing (you get two extra prizes per day if you’re Deluxe).

Another way to get a whole different set of prizes is to feed your pet 2018 Winterfest Cookies. These cookies are only available at the Ganz eStore. You can buy one individually or buy a pack of 3 or a pack of 6.

Today I want to take a closer look at the 2018 Winterfest Cookie prizes. I hope this will help you decide if you might like to buy some of the cookies and maybe give you a couple of ideas about how you can use the prizes.  🙂

There are 12 prizes and 1 Grand Prize you can win when you feed your pet a 2018 Winterfest Cookie. The prizes are awarded randomly.

Here’s a list of the 12 different prizes you can win:

1. Winterfest ski goggles
2. White hockey helmet
3. Boys figure skates
4. Chalet chair
5. Winterfest skis
6. Snow covered maple tree
7. Hockey net
8. Chalet ski rack
9. Arctic fox cub plushy
10. Chalet column
11. Expert ski slope
12. Ski lift sofa

The Grand Prize is the Ski Slopes Wallpaper. (I was lucky enough to win one of these wallpapers.) Since it’s wallpaper, you can only use it in an indoor room. It’s one of the special “room with a view” type of wallpapers that creates a multidimensional look. (The Ganz eStore has a few others like it.)

Here’s how the Ski Slopes Wallpaper looks in your pet’s room – I paired it with the First Snow Flooring that you can buy at the WShop for 150 kinzcash:

I think the Ski Slopes Wallpaper is pretty awesome. It’s the perfect match for the ski slope and expert ski slope prizes.

Speaking of ski slopes, let’s take a look at the two different types you can win during Winterfest.

By catching a falling snowflake, you have a chance to win a ski slope. If you haven’t already tried out the ski slope in a room, you definitely should! It’s a fun interactive item that actually allows  your pet to ski down a small hill:

(Doesn’t Audrey – my Blue Persian – look so cute in her skating outfit?)

When you feed your pet a 2018 Winterfest Cookie you have a chance of winning an Expert Ski Slope. This item is also interactive. It’s taller than the ski slope and has three “turns”:

Here’s a little something I put together to see what it looks like when you combine the different slopes into one awesome skiing experience for your pet:

As you can kind of see from the gif above, I’ve been having some fun piecing together my Winterfest Cookie prizes and creating an outdoor ski scene.

In the pic below, you’ll see the Ski Lift Sofa as well as the Snow Covered Maple Tree. I’ve also incorporated a few of the falling snowflake prizes:

Later I added those adorable bunnies and a couple of arctic fox cub plushies to the scene. They are just SOOOO cute! 🙂

So what does your pet want to do after all that skiing? Warm up in a cozy ski chalet, of course!

Lucky for you and your pet, you can win chalet wallpaper and flooring from this year’s Winterfest Challenge:

One of the coolest additions to any ski chalet is the Chalet Column you can win when you feed your pet a 2018 Winterfest Cookie. The Chalet Column can be turned to show off one of four different looks, so it’s really versatile:

In addition to the plain chalet column, there’s a look with vintage snow shoes:

A look featuring real working Christmas lights:

And a look with a glowing lantern:

Here is a room I put together by adding the Chalet Ski Rack, Chalet Chair and the Chalet Columns along with some other Winterfest prizes – it’s a bit empty and still needs lots of work, but this will give you an idea of how some of the pieces look in a room:

The 2018 Winterfest Cookie prizes also include clothing items. Specifically, you can win Winterfest Ski Goggles, Winterfest Skis, a White Hockey Helmet and Boys Figure Skates.

The Winterfest Ski Goggles and Winterfest Skis actually look very similar to the ones you can win from the falling snowflakes. The only real difference is in the colors.

The snowflake prizes are a white, purple and blue color combination:

While the Winterfest Cookie prizes are more of a neon/electric blue and green:

There’s a couple more prizes I want to look at before I wrap up this post. What would winter be without hockey? 🙂

First, get your pet dressed in their hockey gear – this is Vint, my Mohawk Puppy wearing a Red Team Snow Suit from last year’s Winterfest along with the White Hockey Helmet and Boys Figure Skates from this year:

I just love the way Vint looks wearing his ski  helmet – too cute!

Once your pet is dressed for hockey, it’s time for them to get out on the ice. Here I used some of this year’s prizes – like the Skating Rink Floor Tile and the Skating Rink Edge Piece – along with the Hockey Net from the Winterfest Cookies to start building an outdoor hockey rink:

What do you think of this year’s Winterfest prizes? Which of the Winterfest Cookie prizes is your favorite? Let me know in the comments! I’ll be sending out Winterfest gifts, and I just might give away some Winterfest Cookie prizes, too! (Make sure I know your username and be sure to friend me on Webkinz.)

P.S. Here’s a really quick video I did when I “unboxed” my 2018 Winterfest Cookies:

Winners: Puffer Vest Giveaway

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!

Puffer Vest Giveaway!

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!

Thoughts from the Treetop: January 11, 2017

I had a few random thoughts and bits and pieces of news to share, so I thought I’d do another “Thoughts from the Treetop” post.

First I wanted to share something pretty cool I got when I was entering feature codes from my Series 2 Webkinz Trading Cards. It’s an Ancient Vista Window.

If you can’t read the text on the picture above, it says “It’s a preview of our rare Ancient Civilization room theme. ” So that means these Series 2 Trading Cards were released BEFORE the Ancient Civilization Theme was ever in the Curio Shop. I thought that was pretty cool.

Here’s what the Ancient Vista Window looks like in my Ancient Civilization room (excuse the mess – it’s a work in progress!)

I’ve never seen an “Ancient Vista Window” before anywhere – not even in the Trading Room. Just when I think I’ve unlocked all the prizes that Series 2 has to offer, something comes along to surprise me!

Next up, a super cute ice skating dress in the Ganz eStore. If you’re like me, and you love to dress up your Webkinz pets, then you’ve probably been keeping up with the winter and holiday clothing items in the Ganz eStore. I love the Sparkling Skating Dress because it looks so adorable when you pair it with the girl’s figure skates from the 2017 Winterfest prize pool.

This is my Webkinz Pom Pom Kitty named Glitter. Glitter is one of the first Webkinz I ever got. It’s been so long that I don’t even remember where she came from, but even after all these years, I think Glitter is one of the cutest of all my Webkinz pets. These plushes are actually still available on Amazon – and for a great price! You can buy a Pom Pom Kitty plush for less than $7!

Moving on to our next subject…I’ve been making a whole lot of progress trading gems with Doug in the Clubhouse. I have a blog post about Doug that I’ve been working on, and I’ll publish it soon, but I did want to share my exciting news that I’ve won two of the Gem Collector trophies so far!

In fact, my collection of gem swapping prizes is really growing in both of my accounts:

Do you trade gems with Doug the Dog? Have you made a lot of progress? Tell me in the comments for a special Doug the Dog food item via Kinzpost!

Last but not least, I was really, really stoked to learn that WKN featured my Winterfest Cookies video! 🙂 I created a few more new videos in the past week or two, so check them out if you get a chance! 🙂

2017 Webkinz Winterfest Cookies

Winterfest has arrived in Webkinz World, which means Winterfest Cookies have arrived at the Ganz eStore!

I love opening/unwrapping/unboxing mystery packages and foods on Webkinz. Whether it’s Fall Fest Soda or Christmas Tinsel Crackers, I’m hooked!

There are three different options for purchasing Winterfest Cookies – a single cookie, a 4 pack and a 6 pack – each costs a different amount of eStore points:

Here is a look at all of the prizes you can win in this year’s Winterfest Cookies:

So far I’ve bought 3 boxes, each containing six cookies. One of the prizes I was most hoping to win is the Girl’s Figure Skating Outfit, and I’ve got two! 🙂 I even got one of the Boy’s Figure Skating Outfits as well.

You can pair the Girl’s Figure Skating Outfit with the ice skates you can win from the floating snowflakes and make a really cute outfit.

Here’s my Blue Avenue Kitten Marilyn dressed as a figure skater:

This year’s grand prize is a Snow Fort Slide, and I was lucky enough to win one! Just as you probably guessed, the Snow Fort Slide is interactive – your pet can actually slide down it:

Here’s a few different views of the Snow Fort Slide, so you can see all of the details:

 

I made a really quick video (less than one minute!) of the prizes I’ve won so far:

Do you plan to purchase any Winterfest Cookies? Which prizes do you like best?

Hooray for Winterfest!

Wow! And wow some more is all I can say! Ganz has really outdone themselves with this year’s Winterfest. There are prizes galore, challenges and even an awesome pet designing contest happening in January.

I even dressed up some of my pets in celebration on Winterfest:

(If you like my Blue Persian Kitten, be sure to check out my adoption video.)

So much is happening in January that I made a little list to keep track of it all:

If you’d like a copy of this list to print or to save for reference, the PDF is right here: 2017-winterfest-events.

I also made a calendar of all the events so you won’t miss a thing with all the excitement happening in Webkinz World throughout January.

If you’d like to download and print your own copy, you can find the PDF here: january-2017-webkinz-events-calendar.

Of course, all of this information is available on Webkinz Newz, but I thought it might be handy to have it all in one place. 🙂

Between now and January 10th, make sure you “max out” on snowflakes:

That means finding the floaty click snowflake on Webkinz Newz:

AND collecting 5 floating snowflakes in Webkinz World!

This year the floating snowflakes award items related to ice skating, which pairs well with the prizes you can win if you feed your pet Winterfest Cookies from the Ganz eStore.

Here’s the snowflake prize pool:

Which of these prizes are your favorite? I really like the Girl’s Figure Skates, and I’m hoping to get enough Skating Rink Floor Tiles to build an ice skating room. Do you have any plans for your snowflake prizes? (Hint: Stay tuned to crazy4webkinz.com for a room design drawing!)

Speaking of prizes, don’t forget to complete the Peek-a-Newz challenge each day on Webkinz Newz. This month you’re looking for the Zig Zag Zebra, which is January’s Pet of the Month. Here are the prizes  you can win when you find the Zig Zag Zebra five times:

Which of these prizes are you hoping to win? I really like the green couch and the red window in the “uncommon” prizes.

A few days after the floating snowflakes disappear until next year year’s Winterfest, the Winter Shopping Spree starts. I’ll talk more about the Winter Shopping Spree later this month – get ready to collect retired clothing pieces AND floating SPREE dice!

Are you excited about this year’s Winterfest? Have you been collecting your snowflakes? Let me know in the comments for a winter prize via kinzpost!

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?

Winterfest Snowflake Cookies

Woohoo! I bought two boxes of Winterfest Snowflake Cookies from the Ganz eStore, and I won THREE of the grand prize: Fancy Frozen Piano!

I bought two packages of Winterfest Snowflake Cookies. I chose to buy the 5-pack, which is available at the eStore for 5000 points. The 3-pack is 4500 points. To me, it definitely seemed worth the extra 500 points to get two more cookies!

I thought it would be fun to make an “unboxing” video to show what happens when you open your box of Winterfest Snowflake Cookies and what types of prizes you can win.

Check out my video to see what Winterfest Snowflake Cookies are all about:
