A Closer Look at 2018 White Chocolate Egg Prizes

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:

Adopting a Fairykinz Tiger Cub

When I saw the new Fairykinz Tiger Cub in the Ganz eStore, I immediately fell in love!

The Fairykinz Tiger Cub is new this month, and it matches perfectly with the Fairykinz Meadow Theme that’s currently available at the Ganz eStore. My Fairykinz Tiger Cub cost me 10,000 eStore points because I have a Deluxe Membership.

I decided to name my Fairykinz Tiger Cub “Elphaba” after a character in one of my favorite musicals, “Wicked.”

If you’ve adopted any new Webkinz pets recently, then you know that the adoption process is just a little bit different. Now, when your adoption is complete, you’re taken straight to the “Welcome Room” in the Webkinz Clubhouse.

There you’re greeted by Ms. Birdy.

Your pet will ask you to perform a small, simple task – such as putting on a piece of clothing or giving it a snack. As soon as you complete that task, you’ll be transported to a random room in your Webkinz house.

Once you’re back in your Webkinz house, you’ll see your pet’s special gift box in your dock:

Then, you’ll be able to open up any bonus gift boxes you have received:

After I opened up the gifts that came with my Fairykinz Tiger Cub, I took her into my Ohh La La “filling hearts” room.

I filled up Elphaba’s heart as she swam in the pool:

Jumped on the trampoline:

Ran on the treadmill:

And of course took a little nap:

What do you think of the Fairykinz Tiger Cub? Do you plan to adopt one? Let me know in the comments!

Black Friday Sale – check back for details!

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!

So what are the sales going to include? I don’t know! That’s right – I have to wait and be surprised just like you! 🙂

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!

Adopting a Webkinz Curly Lion

The Curly Lion is the August Pet of the Month, and I was lucky to find one at Five Below a few months ago. I’d been saving the Curly Lion, and I was so excited when it was announced that the Curly Lion would be the Pet of the Month for August.

I love the Curly Lion because it’s so unique. The Curly Lion gets  its name from the curly ribbons that make up its mane and tail.

The curls are so fun and bouncy:

The Curly Lion has a long tail made of orange, yellow and brown ribbon:

One detail I really love about the Curly Lion are its eyebrows – they give its face so much personality and expression:

My Curly Lion is a boy, and I decided to name him “Steelo”:

You can see from the picture that the Curly Lion looks just as cute in Webkinz World as it does in real life. I think his curls are so adorable!

I really like the Curly Lion’s “Pet Specific Item. It’s called the “Majestic Wardrobe,” and it’s even decorated with curls!

If you click on the Majestic Wardrobe, you’ll see that it’s also a storage container for clothes:

Because the Curly Lion is August’s Pet of the Month, Steelo came with a special Pet of the Month gift box that included a Wish Token and 5 bonus Spree rolls.

But the best part of adopting a Pet of the Month is choosing your special Pet of the Month bonus gift!

I have quite a few of the Pet of the Month bonus gifts from adopting different pets and from the Trading Room. This time I decided to select the “Dex Dangerous Telescope.”

The Dex Dangerous Telescope is interactive. When you click on it, you get to look through the telescope at the stars….and a few surprises may even pop up if you watch for long enough!

After I chose my Pet of the Month bonus gift, I took Steelo to my “Filling Hearts Room” for some exercise. I recently revamped my Filling Hearts Room on my GABirdGirl account. As you can see, I used several items from the new “Ohh La La” theme available in the Ganz eStore.

Steelo went for a swim in the Stone Tile Swimming Pool:

Jumped on a trampoline:

Ran on a treadmill:

And even took a quick nap in the Ohh La La Bed:

After I filled up my Curly Lion’s heart, I decided to try a few outfits on him.

Here’s the park ranger outfit you might win with the 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags:

Then onto the Suave Turtleneck, which was this month’s gift for Deluxe Members:

Last but not least, here’s Steelo as an Arabian Prince. I think I like this outfit the best:

If you want to adopt your own Curly Lion, head over to the Ganz eStore. You can pick up the virtual Curly Lion for 8,000 eStore points. (Purchase eStore points at the Ganz eStore.)

Or, if you want the plush, it’s available for $12.99!

So that’s my look at adopting a Curly Lion. 🙂 What do you think about the Curly Lion? Let me know in the comments!

 

More ways to enjoy the Wacky Zingoz Celebration!

The Wacky Zingoz Celebration kicked off on August 1st, and so far it’s been lots of fun. You can win really cute clothes by playing WackyER Zingoz, and you can earn an unlimited number of trophies if you can hit 600 in Wacky Zingoz.

I love collecting clothes, so I’m really excited about the random prizes awarded when you hit 11,500 points in WackyER Zingoz:

Take a look at my Panda Cub Jasmine modeling the Wacky Ballroom Gown and Wacky Ballroom Shoes:

And here’s my Mohawk Puppy Vint wearing the Wacky Tuxedo:

Speaking of Wacky themed clothing, did you know that there is an adorable Zingoz Celebration Dress available in the Ganz eStore?

Here’s a look at the Zingoz Celebration Dress on my Blue Persian Kitten Audrey:

And here she is strutting her stuff on the runway:

Do you like the Wacky Zingoz arcade game? If you do, then you’re sure to love Wacky Zingoz Extreme!

Wacky Zingoz Extreme is a Webkinz arcade game you can unlock by purchasing the game in the Ganz eStore. The Wacky Zingoz Extreme Game is available for 4000 eStore points.

The main idea of the Wacky Zingoz Extreme game is the same as the original Wacky Zingoz. The big orange Zangoz uses a club to send Wacky sailing. Your goal is to hit Wacky just right so that he travels as far as possible.

What makes the “extreme” version different is a few things. First, there are 3 different types of clubs to choose from:

 

As you can see, the two new and extreme clubs each have a special power up so you can make Wacky bouncer higher or fly farther!

Another way that Wacky Zingoz Extreme is different from the original is that you have the ability to hit Wacky twice and get an even higher score!

Of course there are also the floating Wackies to click on and earn a soda – either Zangoz Orange Fizz or Wacky Lemon Fizz. If you’re lucky, you just might win one of these really cool fridges:

To increase your odds of winning a fridge, you can actually buy a 6 pack of soda from the Ganz eStore. There’s a case of Wacky Lemon Fizz or a pack of Zangoz Orange Fizz to choose from.

Have you ever thought about designing a Wacky themed room? Right now I have a jumbled up collection of Wacky Zingoz items in one of my rooms:

The Ganz eStore has lots and lots of really cool Wacky Zingoz furniture right now. You can get everything from beds and pools to trophy stands and growing seeds.

All of the Wacky Zingoz items can be purchased with eStore points, which you can buy here. If you love the eStore as much as I do, then check out the bonus eStore points you get for purchasing a Deluxe membership!

What have you been doing to participate in the fun of the Wacky Zingoz Celebration? Tell me in the comments for a cool Wacky Zingoz prize via kinzpost! 🙂

 

Jumbleberry Fields Trophy Challenge

The 2017 Webkinz Berry Fest kicked off yesterday, and one of the activities to enjoy is earning a Jumbleberry Fields Trophy. To win the trophy, you must feed your pet 12 jumbleberries, 8 pickleberries and 5 moonberries.

There are a few different ways to get your hands on these berries. The first way, of course, is to play Jumbleberry Fields. Because moonberries are harder to win, you could consider buying some moonberry seed packets from the Ganz eStore.

Then there are the floaty clicky events. You’ll find different types of berries floating around Webkinz World all during Berry Fest (which lasts through June 28th). Also, be sure to stop by Webkinz Newz and find the floaty clicky berry there each day, too.

And remember to check the Daily Activities. There will be berry giveaways during Berry Fest, and you can earn more berries when you spin the Wheel of Yum.

If you get down to the last minute and still don’t have all the berries you need, you can use eStore points to “skip” a task. (You can purchase eStore points online at the Ganz eStore.)

I’ve earned the Jumbleberry Fields Trophy on my GABirdGirl account because I had enough berries saved up to fulfill the tasks. You see, all of my jars in Jumbleberry Fields are currently full, and I’ve been leaving them full so I could trade them in for the newest prizes.

Here’s the Jumbleberry Fields Trophy, front and back:

And here’s how the trophy will look on a pedestal in your trophy collection:

When you win the Jumbleberry Fields Trophy, you also win a Moonberry Gift Basket:

Drag the Moonberry Gift Basket into your pet’s room, and you’ll be awarded 5 moonberries:

Are you excited about the Jumbleberry Fields Trophy? Do you have lots of berries already saved up or are you going to have to win them? Let me know in the comments for some Jumbleberry Fields via Kinzpost. (Friend me on my TreeHuggerJess account. My GABirdGirl account is full right now.)

Mother’s Day Gift Bags

You know that I LOVE mystery clothing bags, so you won’t be surprised to hear that I went a little nuts and bought 10 of the Mother’s Day Gift Bags that are currently available at the Ganz eStore!

If you like the clothing items you see in my video, then head over to the Ganz eStore and buy your own Mother’s Day Gift Bag for 2,000 eStore points!

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.

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.

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!):

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!)

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?

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:

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

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:

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:

(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:

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

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:

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! 🙂

Family Score of 400,000: Gizmo Buddy

Last week I hit the Family Score of 400,000 on both of my accounts and got the Gizmo Buddy!

As you can see, the Gizmo Buddy is a cute little gold and blue robot:

The Gizmo Buddy is one of the several types of “Pet Buddies” you can buy, collect or win for your pets. These Pet Buddies float or fly around your pet in the Clubhouse. You used to be able to see Pet Buddies in your house as well, but that function hasn’t been restored yet since the release of Webkinz X.

Here’s what the Gizmo Buddy looks like in a room in the Clubhouse:

As I mentioned above, there are actually quite a few different Pet Buddies to choose from. One type is the “Zumbuddy.”

Here’s an example of what a Zumbuddy looks like:

Zumbuddies unlock a special area of the Magical Forest called “Zumwhere,” where you can play with your Zumbuddies and earn prizes.

Zumbuddies have their own room, and your pet can sit beside them and watch them play. Here is my Blue Avenue Kitten playing with her Zums:

Plush Zumbuddies are available on Amazon, such as Zreth, a Giggly Zum:

If you prefer the virtual versions, check out the Zumbuddies in the Ganz eStore. There are quite a few to choose from:

Speaking of the Ganz eStore, there are other types of Pet Buddies you can buy there as well. Right now there are 3 different Pet Buddies you can buy using your eStore points.

There’s Cinder, the Baby Dragon:

Melanie the Good Fairy:

And Wanda the Bad Fairy:

What do you think about Pet Buddies? Do you have any Pet Buddies? Let me know in the comments for a special Zumbuddy surprise via Kinzpost!
