Webkinz 2017 Summer Mystery Clothing Bags

summer-psd-414742

Hello Webkinz friends! I hope you’ve been enjoying your summer! 🙂 I definitely have! One of the things I like best about the change of seasons in Webkinz world is the arrival of new mystery clothing bags.

mystery bag

The 2017 Summer Mystery Clothing Bags arrived at the Ganz eStore earlier this month. I had some eStore points saved up from my Deluxe membership, so I was able to buy several bags, and I got lots of really cute and fun new clothes for my pets…and some great items for trading!

summer-clipart-pi5MGKriB

I always like to make videos when I open up bags or boxes, and this time was no exception. 🙂 I hope you enjoy the video! Let me know in the comments which pieces of clothing you like best!

If you like the clothes I got from my 2017 Summer Mystery Clothing Bags, head over to the Ganz eStore and check out the different price options for eStore points. (There are lots of other fun items on sale to celebrate summer!)

 

A couple of trophies and some Thoughts from the Treetop: May 2, 2017

Sometimes the real world keeps me busy and I get behind on my Webkinz blogging. 🙂  I’m having an easy day today, just enjoying the beautiful weather and watching the birds at the feeders on my back deck.

I’ve got some fun news and some random thoughts to share, so I figured I’d do a Thoughts from the Treetop post and just collect it all in one place.

tree-top

First I want to share my exciting news (well, it’s exciting to me, anyway) – I finally got a Pet Party Parade trophy! 🙂 I got the trophy a few days ago on my TreeHuggerJess account, and it’s really cute.

When you complete all 30 levels of the game, you’ll see this message:

pet parade

Then because it was my first time winning the whole game and earning a trophy, I got this message:

pet parade trophy

Last, here’s a look at the trophy in my Trophy Room:

pet parade trophy 2

Have you won the Pet Party Parade trophy yet? How many levels have you been able to beat so far? Do you have any tips for winning Pet Party Parade?

It’s the beginning of a new month, and that means a new Deluxe Monthly Challenge. In order to meet this month’s challenge, you’ve got to earn 150 kinzcash playing Color Storm.

may deluxe monthly challenge

I’ve actually got some tips for playing Color Storm. To read the tips, click here for the blog post I wrote during the Color Storm Trophy Challenge.

Speaking of trophies, I finally won the Candy Bash 2 trophy – and I won it on both of my accounts!

candy bash 2

The Candy Bash 2 trophy looks like a chili pepper:

candy bash 2 trophy

Here it is in my trophy room:

candy bash 2 trophy 2

(And there’s my Grumpy Cat giving us a photo bomb!)

The Candy Bash 2 trophy is actually pretty easy to win once you know the secret/trick to unlocking it. The trophy is awarded randomly, BUT the only way you can have a chance of winning the trophy is by first getting “4 in a row” while you’re collecting the falling candy.

4 in a row

That means “catching” four of the same type of candies/sweets in a row, like this:

ezgif.com-gif-maker(2)

Once you’ve collected four in a row, keep playing and wait for the cat (named Gato Loco) to float by across the top of the screen. If Gato Loco is holding a trophy, hit him with a bean – the trophy will fall, and if you catch the trophy before it hits the ground, then congrats! You now have the Candy Bash 2 Trophy! When you catch the trophy, you’ll hear Poncho say “Arrrrrribe!”

CandyBash2Trophy

The random trophy counter will reset after each appearance by Gato Loco. So if you see the cat but don’t get the trophy, you need to do another four in a row in order to have another chance at the trophy.

Have you won the Candy Bash 2 Trophy yet?

I’ve adopted a couple of pets recently. One of them was the Baby Bunny. The Baby Bunny was a special pet in the month of April because Baby Bunny owners got a extra activity each day. (Like the Reindeer Games in December and the Lovely Fox bonus activities in February.)

I named my Baby Bunny “Gidget,” and I think she’s a cutie:

Here’s Gidget wearing the Farmer’s Wife dress you can sometimes find at the Ganz eStore. (The clothing selection changes frequently.)

gidget

If you want your own Baby Bunny, the plush is still available at the Ganz eStore.

The Flower Collection Event just kicked off – if you want some tips on collection event success, click here for a blot post with advice on how to collect flowers quickly.

I’ll wrap up my Thoughts from the Treetop with a picture of the Super Token I recently won – this Super Token was worth three wish tokens!

Have you ever had a Super Token? What did you win? (Deluxe Members get to spin the Wheel of Wishes every day!)

Well, I guess that’s all for now. Thanks for reading and for visiting my blog. I hope you have a wonderful day and a fantastic week!

A Brand New Bake Sale Has Arrived!

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.

baking

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.

baking stuff

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!

  1. “Today’s Annoucements” – you get one baked good just for logging into your account.
  2. Spin the Wheel of Yum – make sure you head over to Today’s Activities to spin the Wheel of Yum and collect another baked good. (and maybe even win a Blueberry Prize Pie!)
  3. Looking for floating baked goods in Webkinz World. Keep your eyes open for the floating baked goods all around Webkinz World – you can collect up to 5 per day!
  4. Floating gift box on Webkinz Newz. When you’re doing your daily activities on Webkinz Newz, be on the lookout for the floating blue and white gift box. Click on it to send a gift box back to your Webkinz account – it will contain one baked good!
  5. Keep checking Today’s Activities – throughout the day there will be random baked good giveaways, so check the Today’s Activities list to find out when.

As I mentioned above, in total there are 5 different types of baked goods (and they all look so yummy!):

Bake-Sale-BAKED-GOODS

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!)

oven

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?

baking mitt

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:

blueberry prize pie grand pie

You can purchase a piece of Blueberry Prize Pie in the Ganz eStore for 2500 eStore points.

blue berry prize pie estore

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:

ezgif.com-video-to-gif(34)

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:

mega modern carpet design 1

mega modern carpet design 2

(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:

campkinz lake tile

I’m hoping I can make enough Campkinz Lake Tiles to fill up the ocean scene I’ve been working on:

yacht on the ocean

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:

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! 🙂

2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags

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!

2017 Spring Clothing Line has arrived!

2017-KinzStyle-Spring-Clothing

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:

spring collection

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:

blue bird dress

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:

luna in suit

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:

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:

skirt and shoes

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:

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:

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:

paisley hat and shorts

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:

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!

Wish Factory Prizes: Letters R and S

Hello my Webkinz friends! I’m back with a look at a couple more prizes in the Wish Factory. These are the more expensive items – not the ones you get when you adopt a new pet and the ones that max out at 15 tokens.

letter r

We’ve been working out way through the alphabet, and now we’re up to the Letter R (there’s no items starting with P or Q). The Letter R brings us to Raziel’s Slide, which costs 300 tokens.

raziel slide

Raziel is a dragon that lives in the caves underneath Adventure Park. You encounter Raziel when completing certain Adventure Park quests.

Raziel

Raziel’s Slide was an item you could win during a mega collection event way back in 2013. It’s an interactive item – your pet can slide down it:

ezgif.com-add-text(3)

Here is another picture of Raziel’s slide so you can see its size in relation to other slides:

raziel slide

letter s

Let’s move along to Letter S. There’s only one item beginning with Letter S, and that’s the Sport Soaker Tub:

sport soaker tub

The Sport Soaker Tub costs 100 tokens. It was a prize you could earn during a collection event called “I Love My Webkinz.” This collection event featured other items you can use to keep your pet happy and healthy, such as a treadmill and a blender. These items were helping to lead the way for the transition into “Webkinz X,” which is the version you’re now playing (family scores, filling hearts, etc).

As you probably guessed, you can use the Sport Soaker Tub to give your pet a bath:

sport soaker 3sport soaker 4

The Water Treadmill, which I’ll talk about in the future, was also part of the heart collection event. Both items fit very well with a fitness theme and would look great in a gym-themed room.

That’s all for Letters R and S. Are you planning to save up for Raziel’s Slide or the Sport Soaker Tub? Let me know in the comments! 🙂

Want to spin the Wheel of Wishes every day? It’s one of the perks of a Deluxe Membership! Deluxe Memberships are available exclusively at the Ganz eStore.

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.

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:

trapdoor 1

trapdoor 2

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!)

trapdoor room 2

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:

ezgif.com-video-to-gif(29)

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!

A Closer Look: Salad Bar Fridge

Webkinz recently release three new Exclusive Items, and one of those new items is the Salad Bar Fridge:

salad bar buffet

Even though the word “hotel” isn’t anywhere in the name, the Salad Bar Fridge fits with the Fancy Hotel Theme perfectly. In fact, the colors and the design are an exact match with the Fancy Hotel Dining Table.

salad bar and dining table

As you can see, the decorative ironwork on the sides of the Salad Bar Fridge match the base of the Fancy Hotel Dining Table. You can also see a matching pattern and color scheme with the blue and white stripes.

Because these two items are such a great match, I wanted to see what it would look like to put a small cafe area in the lobby of a hotel room:

salad bar buffet room

This room is a bit too small for a cafe, but I do think the idea could work with a bigger room, a few more Fancy Hotel Dining Tables and some type of dividers to separate the cafe area from the rest of the lobby.

I really like that Webkinz has given us another item to build onto the Fancy Hotel Theme. You can use it to mix and match with the hotel room you may have already built, or you can put together something entirely brand new with no hotel items at all.

Just as the name suggests, the Salad Bar Fridge is a refrigerator that stores 12 food items:

If you haven’t already done so, check out my post on another new Exclusive Item – the Messy Room Floor Tile.

Don’t forget that Deluxe Members get to spin the Wheel of Wishes every day. By spinning the Wheel of Wishes every day, you could add one or two Exclusive Items to your collection every month – and it will make it easier to save up for those expense Wish Factory prizes I’ve been cataloging.

Deluxe Memberships are available exclusively through the Ganz eStore – check it out today!

What do you think of the Salad Bar Fridge? Are you planning to buy one with your Wish Tokens? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you a hotel theme prize via Kinzpost!
