I did a random drawing this morning, and here is the winning room:
If this is your spring-themed room, check your email for you code for a FREE Lil Blue Springtime Chick from the Ganz eStore!
I LOVE to do giveaways, so check back often for more contests and freebies! Thank you all for your entries. You’re all very talented designers. And as always, thanks for reading my blog! 🙂
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!
Today I want to take a closer look at the prizes you can choose from when you purchase (or win if the case may be) a Rockerz Pets Backstage Pass.
A Backstage Pass is a lot like a POTM gift box or a Super Bed gift box. You drag the pass into your pet’s room, and you’ll be treated to a bunch of Rockerz themed prizes to choose from.
You get a Backstage Pass with each Rockerz Pet you adopt. You can also purchase a Backstage Pass in the Ganz eStore for 2500 eStore points. This month (March 2018), as part of the Deluxe Monthly Challenge, you can win a Backstage Pass and a VIP Backstage Pass. (More on the VIP Backstage Pass later.)
There are 12 prizes to choose from when you open up a Backstage Pass. As you’ll see, all of these prizes have a “rock and roll” theme. If you collect enough of these prizes, you can put together some really cool rooms. Backstage Pass prizes are especially perfect for building a concert room.
All of the Backstage Pass prizes are so awesome that you might have trouble making a choice. To help you pick the most perfect Backstage Pass prize, I’ve taken a closer look at almost all of the items – there’s only one that I don’t have yet.
As I mentioned, there are a total of 12 prizes available from Backstage Passes. Here’s a list you can use for reference or for keeping track of the prizes you’ve collected so far:
ROCK STADIUM WALLPAPER AND FLOORING
I want to start with the Rock Stadium Wallpaper and Rock Stadium Flooring. These are two items that are really great to have if you want to build rock concert room.
Here’s a rock and roll room I’m still working on. It’s not finished, but it will give you a look at the flooring and wallpaper:
One thing the Rockerz Backstage Pass items have in common is bright, fun colors. You’ll see the turquoise/purple/pink combination in lots of the items.
The Rock Stadium Wallpaper is really cool because it packs your room with speakers and spotlights that instantly create a rock concert feeling. The Rockerz logo on the back wall is a perfect backdrop for a Webkinz Rockerz concert.
I love how the Rock Stadium Flooring divides the room into two spaces. The front half of the room is where you’d place your audience and items like the ticket booth. The back half is a wooden floor, which makes it look just like a stage!
TOURING TRUNK
The Touring Trunk is an item that I’ve used as part of a “Pop Princess” room. This room is a combination of a living space and a recording studio:
The Touring Trunk can be used to store clothing items. It holds a total of 8 pieces of clothing:
MAIN STAGE MIC
The Main Stage Mic, which is a combination of a microphone and stool, creates the feeling of a more intimate, acoustic type of concert.
You can see from the gif above that the Main Stage Mic is an animated item. When your pet sits on the seat little black music notes rise up into the air.
The Main Stage Mic would work for a concert room or for a recording studio. How would you use this item?
WEBKINZ PAWS OF FAME
The Webkinz Paws of Fame is only for decoration. You can place the tile in any room on top of the flooring. This item is a Webkinz version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Take a closer look and you can see that the prints are from all different types of animals…there are paws, claws, hooves and more.
One thing I really like about the Webkinz Paws of Fame is that it’s pretty large. It covers nearly one fourth of the floor:
CRAZY CROWD SOUND EFFECT MACHINE
The Crazy Crowd Sound Effect Machine is a really fun item. Depending on which way it’s turned, you can choose one of four different looks. The picture above shows the Crazy Crowd Sound Effect Machine turned forward with the speakers facing out. Notice the stickers on the side.
Here are three more looks you can get when you turn this item:
I think the blue guitar leaning up against the speaker is a really cool detail!
STAGE LIGHT LAMP
The Stage Light Lamp is an animated item. As you can see in the gif below, the lights turn on (blue, pink and green) and move around.
This item would be a fun addition to any type of concert room or even a big dance party.
ROCKERZ ELECTRIC GUITAR
The Rockerz Electric Guitar is a decorative item. As you can see, it’s shaped like a W and features bold purple, blue and magenta pink colors.
The picture below will give you a better idea of the size of the Rockerz Electric Guitar. That’s my chipmunk Wanderlei – he’s wearing his Social Media Superstar hoodie! 🙂
There are quite a few different ways you could use the Rockerz Electric Guitar in a room. I’ve always wanted to build a music store or you could even put the guitar in a funky teen room. What ideas do you have for the Rockerz Electric Guitar?
SOUVENIR POSTER
The Souvenir Poster is another item that could work in a variety of different rooms. If you take a close up look at the Souvenir Poster you can see that it features four Rockerz Pets. The pink cat is one of my favorites – she’s so cute!
STUDIO HEADPHONES
The Studio Headphones are a wearable item:
I love the bright, bold pink color of the Studio Headphones, and you can even see them on your pet down in the left corner of the screen:
The Studio Headphones are the perfect accessory for a pet in the studio recording their newest track!
SOUVENIR T-SHIRT
Last up is another wearable item – the souvenir t-shirt. This black shirt features the Rockerz Pets logo on the front and a star design.
You get a peek of the logo when the shirt is on your pet:
Except for the Wireless Headset, those are all of the different prizes you can choose from when you purchase a Backstage Pass. Which item is your favorite? What kind of room would you like to build using the Backstage Pass items?
I’m off to a slow start with my January blogging. 😦 I finally have some extra time today, though, so I am going to get caught up with sending out prizes!
Thank you for being patient while I balance my Webkinz World life with my grownup life. 🙂
Prizes are coming – Ganz eStore codes will be sent via email and Winterfest prizes will be sent via Kinzpost.
Love, TreeHuggerJess
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:
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:
Check out this pretty painting of the new and exclusive Turtle Dove:
If you like it, use this free Webkinz code to get your own Turtle Dove painting:
I love the pretty roses in this painting. It would make a great addition to a museum themed room or a fancy parlor. What do you plan to do with your Turtle Dove painting? Let me know in the comments!
Don’t wait too long…the code expires on December 31, 2017.
(And if you like the Turtle Dove – head over to the Ganz eStore to adopt yours before they’re gone forever!)

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 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!
