Rockerz Pets and Backstage Pass Prizes

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:

1. Crazy Crowd Sound Effect Machine
2. Webkinz Paws of Fame
3. Touring Trunk
4. Studio Headphones
5. Stage Light Lamp
6. Souvenir T-Shirt
7. Souvenir Poster
8. Rockerz Electric Guitar
9. Rock Stadium Wallpaper
10. Rock Stadium Flooring
11. Main Stage Mic
12. Wireless Headset

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?

 

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:

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!

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!

 

A Closer Look: Cafe Fireplace

It’s been an exciting summer so far in Webkinz World, with the 2017 Berry Fest and new Jumbleberry prizes, a summer clothing line and new prizes in the Spree Mall.

I made it to the Spree Mall with my TreeHuggerJess account, and I had enough mall credits to pick up the Cafe Fireplace.

The Cafe Fireplace costs 750 mall credits:

As you probably guessed, the Cafe Fireplace makes a  nice addition to a Cafe-themed room:

The brick isn’t a perfect match, but it’s close. The wood on the top and bottom of the fireplace matches well with the wood in the cafe wallpaper and flooring. I like the idea of a warm fireplace in a cozy little coffee shop.

The Cafe Fireplace is an interactive item. You can click on the fireplace to ignite a glowing, flickering fire:

I think the animation for the Cafe Fireplace is really well done. You definitely get a feeling that the fireplace is glowing. I also like that Ganz gave us an item that matches with another theme – like the way that the Fancy Hotel Dining Table matches with the Hotel theme.

What do you think of the Cafe Fireplace? What ideas do you have for using the Cafe Fireplace in a room design? Let me know in the comments for a cafe prize via Kinzpost!

If you love playing Spree – and you want to earn those mall credits faster – head to the Ganz eStore and pick up some bonus Spree rolls.

You can use your Ganz eStore Points to purchase either 5 or 10 bonus rolls to help you get to the Spree Mall even faster!

Fashion Show! 2017 Summer Clothing Line

The 2017 Summer Clothing Line arrived at the Kinzstyle Outlet a couple of weeks ago, and I’m ready to take a look at what PJ Collie has delivered for this season!

There are 12 pieces in the 2017 Summer Clothing Line. They range in price from 220 kinzcash to 485 kinzcash. Of the 12 pieces, 4 of them are Deluxe only. (The picture below shows which items are Deluxe only – look for the gold star). This season the clothing line is more about creating entire outfits, whereas the 2017 Spring Clothing Line was more of a mix-and-match collection.

Let’s talk about prices:

1. Beachy Bucket Hat: 250 (Deluxe)
2. Boy Beach Tee: 220
3. Breezy Summer Dress: 485
4. Dressy Athletic Pants: 325
5. Dressy Sandals: 255 (Deluxe)
6. Dressy Tank: 285
7. Neon Kicks:  275
8. Patterned Yoga Pants: 385
9. Patterned Yoga Top: 330 (Deluxe)
10. Sunflower Swimsuit: 400
11. Sunny Sunglasses: 230 (Deluxe)
12. Sunrise Swim Trunks: 310

If you want to buy all 12 pieces in the 2017 Summer Clothing line, it will cost you 3,750 kinzcash.

Now that we’ve dug into the details, let’s move onto the fashion!

I tried something new, and I hope you like it! I designed and built a “Fashion Show” room, complete with a runway, cameras and a dressing room.

Now you can watch a “live” fashion show and see how these clothes will really look on your pet.

It’s no surprise that the Patterned Yoga Pants and Top coordinate perfectly. After all, they have the same name! The two pieces are black with brightly colored stripes. The collar of the top is trimmed in yellow, which I think is a nice details. The Neon Kicks also match with the yoga outfit:

Here is Audrey, my Blue Persian Kitten, strutting her stuff on the runway in the yoga outfit:

Next up is another complete outfit – the “dressy” athletic suit, with pants, a tank top and sandals! Socks with sandals is a bit silly, but hey, Webkinz is all about having fun, right? The teal green color is  pretty, and this outfit really looks comfy.

I like how you can tell that the sandals have adjustable velcro straps. It’s a detail that brings the outfit to life:

So, here is Princess, my Charcoal Cat, walking the runway in this outfit that’s both dressy and atheletic!

It wouldn’t be summer without a trip to the beach! The 2017 Summer Clothing Line has two swimwear pieces – a pair of trunks and a one piece swimsuit. We’ll check out the Sunrise Swim Trunks first.

I paired the swim trunks with the Boy Beach Tee because I think the light blue/turquoise colors match really well. I also added the Beachy Bucket Hat to keep the sun out of Biscuit’s eyes while he’s catching a wave:

Let’s take a look at Biscuit, my Golden Retriever, as he walks the runway in his beach gear:

The other piece of swimwear is the Sunflower Swimsuit. I love the color contrast between the navy blue suit and the bright golden sunflowers. There’s even a really cute sunflower right at the collar. I paired up the Sunflower Swimsuit with the Sunny Sunglasses. I think the yellows coordinate well:

Here’s is Sadie, my Mocha Pup, as she shows off her flower swimwear on the runway:

Last but certainly not least we have the beautiful Breezy Summer Dress. The Breezy Summer Dress, which is the most expensive item in the 2017 Summer Clothing Line, has such pretty gold and orange stitching. It really looks like it was embroidered by hand. The colors remind me of a sunset:

Here’s Evangeline, my Midnight Marten, as she “breezes” down the runway in this cute dress:

That’s all for our Fashion Show and that’s all for the 2017 Summer Clothing Line. Which are your favorite pieces in the collection? Are you going to buy them all or just a few items? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you a piece from the line via Kinzpost!

 

A Closer Look at New Spree Prizes: Trampoline, Cake and Pizza

New prizes recently debuted in the Spree Mall, and I was able to pick up a few last week. With the mall credits I had saved up I bought the Fun Floor Trampoline, the Pile of Pizza and the Platter Birthday Cake.

Let’s take a closer look at each of these new Spree prizes!

Fun Floor Trampoline

The Fun Floor Trampoline is a cheerful green color and really quite large. As you can see, the Fun Floor Trampoline is made to look like it’s set into the floor. It’s interactive, as you probably guessed. One fun thing about this trampoline is that your pets twirl in the air when they jump on it, rather than just bouncing up and down like they do on the regular trampoline that’s available in the WShop.

Pile of Pizza

The Pile of Pizza is a stack of pizza boxes with the Pizza Palace logo on them. Like several of the new Webkinz items that have been added recently, the Pile of Pizza can be turned for 4 different looks:

Here’s the way the Pile of Pizza transforms when you turn it:

Platter Birthday Cake

The Platter Birthday Cake looks sooo yummy! 🙂 It’s a white cake that features 4 blue candles that light up when you click on the cake. Here’s a gif that shows the candles turning off and on:

I’m close to reaching the Spree Mall on my  TreeHuggerJess account, so hopefully I’ll have more new prizes to show you very soon! Which of these three prizes is your favorite? What are you saving up your mall credits to buy?

If you just can’t wait to get to the Spree Mall to check out all the new prizes, you can purchase extra turns at the Ganz eStore using your eStore points! You can purchase a 5 pack or a 10 pack. 🙂

Webkinz Berry Fest 2017 Prizes

Berry Fest 2017 kicked off today, and I’m already having “berry much” fun! 🙂 I’m loving this year’s Berry Fest prizes, and it’s great that floaty clicky prizes are back in the rooms and arcade. It makes it sooo much easier to collect all of the day’ prizes.

If you’ve been on Webkinz today, or remember Berry Fest activities from the past, then you know that there are 6 kinds of berries you’ll find floating around Webkinz World:

But…the REAL stars of the show are the Goo Goo Berry and the Polarberry. Why? Because feeding one of these types of berries to your pet will earn you a special prize.

There are two different sets of prizes, but they’re basically the same – just swap out one berry type for the other.

Here’s a picture of the Goo Goo Berry prizes from Webkinz Newz:

And here’s a look at this year’s Polarberry prizes:

As you can see, the prizes are divided into three categories: common, uncommon and rare, which means that you’ll win more of the ice cream cone than you will the car.

I’ve had great luck so far this morning, and I’ve got 3 Goo Goo Berry Cars total. The only prize I don’t have yet is the Polarberry Car.

If you’re wondering how I could have already won so many prizes, it’s because I’ve saved up my Goo Goo Berries and Polarberries from previous years. I like to keep my “special” foods and store them in rooms filled with refrigerators, like this:

This morning I went searching through my refrigerators and found plenty of both kinds of berries stored away:

Let’s take a look at some of the prizes you can win when you feed your pet a Goo Goo Berry or Polarberry during Berry Fest!

First are the preserves…these are fun because you can rotate them and get four different looks:

Here are the 4 ways you can display the Polarberry Preserves:

And here are the 4 ways to display the Goo Goo Berry Preserves:

Next is the chairs, which have a cute country/farmhouse look to them:

You can see that these wooden chairs are adorned with a cushion, and the cushion is decorated with either Goo Goo Berries or Polarberries.

Last up is the Goo Goo Berry Car (I’ll update my post when I finally get a Polarberry car). Take a look at this gif to see what the Goo Goo Berry Car looks like when your pet rides inside (notice the window on the back!):

So, what do you think of the 2017 Berry Fest prizes? Which are your favorites? Let me know in the comments for a Jumbleberry/Berry Fest prize via Kinzpost!

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!
