Well, it’s a long story, but things didn’t turn out the way I planned, and I want to give away a second Lil Blue Springtime Chick. 🙂
Thank you to everyone who sent in room designs. I will be choosing a random winner from that bunch.
I’ll announce the winner ASAP and post a picture of the winner’s spring-themed room.
Thank you! 🙂
Easter is just a few days away, so it’s time for me to announce my Lil’ Blue Springtime Chick giveaway!
To celebrate the arrival of spring, I’m giving away a code for a FREE Lil’ Blue Springtime Chick!
Like always, this giveaway will be a random drawing. To enter, send me a screenshot of your favorite spring-themed room! I’ll accept entries between now and March 30th at midnight. I’ll do the drawing on the morning of Saturday March 31st!
Email your screenshots to: natbrownnat@gmail.com
Good luck! I’m looking forward to seeing your spring room designs!
Update: I just found out that I made a mistake reporting on the Party Time theme. Three of the items in the collection are Deluxe only. I’ll fix the post soon! 🙂
On May 10th, a new room theme arrived in the WShop. It’s called “Party Time,” and it’s a collection of furniture and decorations to create a birthday party (or any type of party, really).
There are 14 items total in the Party Time collection.
Here’s a list of the items with their corresponding prices:
Without any coupons, buying the entire Party Time theme will cost you 6,455 kinzcash.
One of the great things about the Party Time room theme is that all of the items are available to all members. There are no items that are available exclusively to Deluxe members.
Here’s a large sized room I put together using only pieces from the Party Time theme:
To me the room seems a little bare with just the Party Time items. Maybe a smaller sized room would be better, or perhaps the Party Time room theme needs to be mixed/matched with other theme items.
There are two items in the Party Time room theme that I want to highlight – the Snacks and the Presents.These are my favorite items because they can be rotated to create different looks, like the Trolley Wardrobe in the Hotel Theme.
Let’s start with the Snacks.
This gif shows the transformation the Snacks go through when you rotate the item:
As you can see from the gif, there are 4 separate designs available within the Snacks – punch bowl, cupcakes, birthday cake and veggie/chip tray:
These snacks are pretty versatile. I can definitely think of lots of uses for all four designs. How about you?
Next let’s look at the Presents. Here’s another gif to show you the transformation:
As with the Snacks, there are 4 different looks hidden within just one item:
I love how you can create a unique looking pile of gifts by rotating and arranging the Presents – you can have everything from a solitary wrapped box to a mixture of boxes and gift bags. I think the Presents will be an item I will use in lots of different rooms.
Another item in the Party Theme that I want to spotlight is the Sink. The Sink is interactive. You can go from a clean, empty sink:
To a sink full of dishes:
These are some really cute details here – look at the confetti sprinkled around the basin of the sink – it really looks like your cleaning up after a party!
So, what do you think about the Party Time theme? Do you plan to buy the whole collection or just a few pieces? Which Party Time items are your favorite? Let me know in the comments for a Party Time prize via kinzpost. 🙂
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!
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! 🙂
Webkinz recently announced the release of three brand new Exclusive Items! Exclusive Items are prizes that can be found in the Wish Factory. You get an Exclusive Item as a free gift each time you adopt a pet. You can also purchase them using Wish Tokens. If you’re feeling lucky, you can try the “Wish of the Day,” and maybe you’ll win the Exclusive Item of your dreams!
The three new Exclusive Items that have been added to the the Wish Factory are:
To make room for these three new items, the Bubble Wrap Chair has been retired. If you’ve got a Bubble Wrap Chair, hold onto it – it’s about to become much more valuable in the trading room!
Today we’re going to take a closer look at the Messy Room Floor Tile, which costs 15 tokens.
I really love the Messy Room Floor Tile. Why? Lots of reasons! One reason to love the Messy Floor Tile is that it’s the very first floor tile to be added as an Exclusive Item. There aren’t many types of floor tiles in Webkinz World, but these are really great items because they allow you to decorate the floor of your room.
Another reason I love the Messy Room Floor Tile is that it’s just so cute! It looks like a bunch of pieces of clothing strewn around the floor, so it’s the perfect fit for a fun, messy, girlie room like this one:
(Notice the Messy Room Floor Tile in the lower left corner)
You can tell in the picture that the Messy Room Floor Tile is actually really big:
Another cool thing about the Messy Room Floor Tile is that it can be rotated to achieve different looks. Depending on which way you turn the Messy Room Floor Tile, you’ll see different types of clothing items:
Here’s another look at the same room but with the Messy Room Floor Tile turned a different way:
What do you think about the Messy Room Floor Tile? Do you plan to purchase one from the Wish Factory? Let me know in the comments. A couple of lucky commenters will get an exclusive item through the Kinzpost! 🙂
If you just can’t wait to get the Messy Room Floor Tile or one of the other new Exclusive Items, become a Deluxe Member. Deluxe Members now get to spin the Wheel of Wishes every day! That means a chance at one or even two Wish Tokens each day you play Webkinz! (Deluxe Memberships are available for purchase in the Ganz eStore.)
Webkinz recently released a new superbed. It’s called the “Cozy Yacht Bed” and features a helicopter landing pad where your pet can sleep.
Here are a couple of different views of the Cozy Yacht Bed in my pet’s room:
Superbeds are one of the most prized items in all of Webkinz World. These special and extremely unique beds can’t be bought in the WShop or even the Ganz eStore. To get your first Superbed, you must adopt 10 pets.
Upon adopting your 10th pet, you’ll see a “Super Exclusive Gift Box” show up in your dock. It looks like this:
Drag the box into your pet’s room, and it will pop open to reveal dozens of Superbeds you can choose from.
Once you’ve adopted 10 pets, you’ll get another Superbed gift box for every 5 more pets you adopt – so 15 pets, 20 pets, etc.
I was lucky that I had a Superbed gift box on hand when the Cozy Yacht Bed was released. I’m currently in the process of designing a room that features this new Superbed:
By combining blue flooring from the WShop and sandy beach tiles from the Vacation Island wheel, I was able to create a room that’s half land, half water. (Vacation Island is only open to players with a Deluxe membership.) As you can see, the Cozy Yacht Bed is out at sea, and I’ve started to decorate the land area with beach blankets and chairs.
Here are some of the other rooms where I’ve used Superbeds as part of my design:
Night Light Flower Bed
Acropolis Bed
Bookworm Bed
Musical Maestro Bed
Jewelry Box Bed
Over the Rainbow Bed
Sewing Superstar Bed
Bed of Roses
Pageant Princess Bed
Which Superbed is your favorite? Let me know in the comments! 🙂
Hello Webkinz friends! I’m sorry I’ve been away for a while. Sometimes I have to go out in the real world and be an adult. 🙂 Hopefully I won’t have to do that again for a bit!
Here are the two rooms that won the drawing for a Ganz eStore Puffer Vest!
Both of these rooms look like such a fun place to play!
Check out this awesome winter wonderland where you can walk through the snowy trees or take a turn on the Snow Fort Slide – which is a Winterfest Cookie grand prize! And look at that cute little panda hat this Webkinz pet is wearing. I believe that was a clothing item available in the 2016 Golden Cracker Gift. Look closely and you can see the piles of snowballs all ready for a snowball fight!
Our other winner is an indoor room. You can bounce in the beautiful winter bouncy castle (the prize for the December Deluxe Monthly Challenge) or jam out with your friends on the frozen guitar and drum set. I also love the beautiful grand staircases leading down into the room. So pretty!
Thank you to my winners for sharing these awesome room designs with us! If you want a Puffer Vest, head over to the Ganz eStore where you can pick one up – but only for a limited time!
If you need eStore points, now is a great time to buy them. You can get a free Amethyst Wardrobe when you buy 33,000 or more eStore points between now and February 15th!
Hello to all my Webkinz friends! I hope you enjoyed Winterfest, and I hope you caught plenty of snowflakes! 🙂
Winterfest is winding down, and Ganz is already getting geared up for Valentine’s Day. But I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to the Winterfest fun – that’s why I’m doing a Puffer Vest Giveaway!
Entering for your chance to win one of TWO Puffer Vests is simple: Send me a screenshot of a room where you used some of your Winterfest prizes to decorate! I’ll gather the screenshots and draw two random winners who will each get a code for a free Puffer Vest.
As always, you’ll need to email me (natbrownnat@gmail.com) in order to enter – it’s the only way I can provide you with the code if you’re the winner! I respect your privacy, and I will never, ever share your information with anyone. Your email is used only to send you the code if you’re a winner.
I’ll accept submissions from now until midnight (EST) on January 30th, and I’ll announce the winners in the morning on January 31st.
So, if you want a chance at a free Puffer Vest, available only in the Ganz eStore, email me a screenshot of your Winterfest creations at natbrownnat@gmail.com
I look forward to seeing your amazing rooms! Good luck!
Congratulations to rainbowtwingirls on winning the Ornament Outfit Contest!
Rainbowtwingirls submitted this beautiful Christmas room for me to share with my readers:
Rainbowtwingirls took the Home for the Holidays theme and really glammed it up with a fabulous collection of Christmas trees. That magnificent red sleigh that the reindeer is riding in was the special prize for December’s Deluxe Member monthly challenge.
Did you notice the gingerbread grandfather clock against the wall? You can buy that with the moneyz you earn by playing games on Webkinz Newz.
This really looks like a fun and festive place to spend Christmas! Check out all those presents under the tree, and there’s even a piano for a Christmas carol sing-along!
Thank you for sharing this incredible room with us, rainbowtwingirls! I hope you enjoy your ornament outfits.
The contest might be over, but you can still get your own ornament outfits at the Ganz eStore.
I’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the 2016 tinsel crackers in the Ganz eStore. I can’t wait to see what types of Christmas and winter outfits will be available this year. In the meantime, though, I continue to browse through the clothing sections of the eStore. Today I happened upon a nice surprise – some super cute holiday themed outfits on sale!
I have quite a few eStore points left from the Cyber Monday sale, so I decided to buy a few of the outfits…and then I had another idea – what if I gave away some outfits? 🙂
I’m giving away TWO ornament outfits – but I’ll get to those details a little later. First I want to have a little fashion show.
I bought two Candy Cane Hats – one to go with this Candy CaneRuffle Dress:
And another Candy Cane Hat to go with the Candy Cane Suit:
This next outfit isn’t Christmas themed, but it does seem like a holiday gown to me. It’s the Perfectly Pretty Gown that came with this month’s Deluxe Membership gift box. I bought the Perfectly Pretty Hat to go along with it. Here’s how the two look together:
Now onto the ornaments. First is the Snowflake Ornament Outfit. I love the way this blue looks on my Signature Pomeranian:
Then there’s also the Red Ornament Outfit – I really like the sparkly design on this one:
Now that you’ve seen the two ornament outfits that are up for grabs, let’s talk about how to win them!
I’m going to select two winners from a random drawing. In order to be entered into the drawing, email me a screenshot of one of your Webkinz holiday or Christmas rooms that I can share here on my blog. I’ll post pictures of the rooms that are entered and post the two winners!
The deadline for submitting your room design is December 15th at noon. You can email me at natbrownnat@gmail.com – that’s nat brown nat (at) gmail (dot) com.
I’m really excited about sharing your holiday room designs on my blog. I hope you’re excited about the contest, too!
