Lil’ Purple Spring Kitten: A Cutie Named Jellybean

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!!!)

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!

 

Adopting a Webkinz Carrots Bunny

The Carrots Bunny is the Webkinz Pet of the Month for April 2017.

This colorful spring bunny, who’s covered in carrots, is a perfect fit for the month of Easter.

Earlier this month I adopted a Carrots Bunny and got tons of cool Pet of the Month goodies and extras.

I named my Carrots Bunny “Veggie”:

To see more of the Carrots Bunny, and to see the awesome prizes you get when you adopt a Pet of the Month, check out my adoption video:

Family Score 300,000: Secret Hideout Treehouse

Well, it’s taken me WAY too long to post pics of the Secret Hideout Treehouse! I hit my family score of 300,000 on both of my accounts months ago. I’m actually really close to 400,000 now.

But I thought, better late than never – right? 🙂 Here’s a quick look at the Secret Hideout Treehouse you win when you hit a Family Score of 300,000:

Here’s a pic of the Treehouse in an outdoor room, so you can see how big it is compared to other items:

The Secret Hideout Treehouse is really tall. As you can see in the picture, it towers over even the tallest trees. (Excuse how messy this yard looks – I’m still working on it.)

As you probably guessed by looking at it, your pet can sit in the Secret Hideout Treehouse:

One of the coolest features of the Treehouse is that it can fit 3 pets! There aren’t a lot of seats for 3 pets in Webkinz World, so I thought that was pretty cool.

Here are a couple of other views of the Secret Hideout Treehouse:

I love the way the branches of the tree wrap all the way around the back of the Treehouse. Purple is one of my favorite colors, so I love color too!

If you want to earn the Secret Hideout Treehouse, be sure to fill up your pets’ hearts each day so you can increase your family score. I use a “Filling Hearts” room that you’ve probably seen if you’ve watched any of my adoption videos. Here’s the post where I show you how to make your own Webkinz Filling Hearts Room.

Adopting new pets onto your account is another way to boost your score. Check out the Ganz eStore for both virtual pets and plush pets. There’s a great sale right now with free shipping on the Oatmeal Kangaroo and Black & White Friesian!

What’s your Family Score? Let me know in the comments for a surprise via Kinzpost!

 

Adopting a Webkinz Holly Fox

A few weeks ago I bought the Holly Fox from the Ganz eStore. I love all of the Christmas-themed pets available right now, like the Mistletoe Mouse and the Gingerbread Puppy. As cute as all of the holiday pets are, the Holly Fox is my favorite.

My Holly Fox is a girl, and I decided to name her Noel to keep with the Christmas theme. Her red and white stripes make me think of candy canes, and I love the holly leaves on her back.

Here’s a quick video I made while I was adopting Noel. Hope you like it!

Adopting a Blue Persian Kitten

I can’t help myself…I’ll come across a certain pet in the Ganz eStore and just fall in love! It was definitely love at first sight when I saw the Blue Persian Kitten. I was lucky I had some eStore points left from the Cyber Monday sale, so I was able to buy my Blue Persian Kitten right then and there!

Take a look at what a cutie the Blue Persian Kitten is:

I just love those big blue eyes and those teeny tiny ears! I decided to named her Audrey because I think it’s a pretty name for a pretty kitten.

To see more of the Blue Persian Kitten in action, check out my adoption video:

Want one of your own? Head over to the Ganz eStore. (To buy the Blue Persian Kitten you need to have a Deluxe Membership.)

What do you think of the Blue Persian Kitten? Do you want to add one to your Webkinz family?

Pet of the Month: Goodies and Exclusives

Recently Ganz changed the way they award Pet of the Month exclusives. In the past, your exclusive was awarded randomly. Now, you get to pick which item you want when you adopt your Pet of the Month (POTM).

This October, the Webkinz POTM is the Black Panther. I mentioned the other day that I was really lucky and won a Black Panther from a room design contest on Webkinz Newz.

Adopting a new Webkinz pet is always fun, but it was even more fun to adopt a POTM, especially now that you can pick your own exclusive gift out of the whole POTM exclusives collection.

By my count, there are more than 30 exclusive items you can choose from when you adopt a Pet of the Month. I have a few of them, including the Bouncy Bed Trampoline, Lurking Lagoon, Magic Genie Lamp, Crystal Sea Glass Flooring and the Kinzville Cuckoo Clock. This time I chose the Carnival Carousel.

I put the carousel in my outdoor carnival room, and I think it’s a really neat addition. I love that it’s animated AND plays music! I do wish your pet could ride on it, though – that would make it even more awesome!

The exclusive items are all fantastic, but I don’t want to forget about the rest of the fun extras you get when you adopt a Pet of the Month, including 5 bonus Spree rolls, a Wish Token, a WShop coupon and a coin worth 500 kinzcash.

If you love having the POTM each month, then you can join the Pet of the Month Club through the Ganz eStore and have the POTM plush delivered to your door each month!
