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 Closer Look: Messy Room Floor Tile

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:

1. The Messy Room Floor Tile
2. The Salad Bar Fridge
3. The Trapdoor

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.)

Cozy Yacht Bed and Other Webkinz Superbeds

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! 🙂

Ornament Outfit Contest Winner!

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.

Food Dispensers for 1800 eStore Points!

If you pay close attention while you’re playing Webkinz, then you’ll often see some special food floating across your screen. For instance, there have been Marshmallow Bunnies, Rainbow Lollies and even a Gumdrop Clover. These floating foods are actually promos for food dispensers available at the Ganz eStore.

So what is a food dispenser? Food dispensers are virtual items that provide one consumable food item per day when clicked on. For example, I have a Theater Chocolate Dispenser in my theater room, and I click on it each day to get a Theater Chocolate Pop to feed my pets.

Food dispensers are especially fun if you like to collect food or trade for unusual food items in the Trading Room in the Clubhouse. Some of the most fun and unique foods come from food dispensers…so why don’t I have more in my rooms?

Well, most food dispensers cost around 6,000 eStore points, and I usually spend my eStore points on clothing items and mystery bags. But, if you really dig through those Black Friday Sales at the Ganz eStore, you’ll find several food dispensers on sale for 70% off! That makes each food dispenser only 1800 points each!

I found four food dispensers in the 70% off section and purchased one of each of them:

1. Party Punch Dispenser
2. Webkinz Icepresso Machine
3. Pink Popcorn Machine
4. Milkshake Machine

Let’s take a look at the foods these items dispense and how they will look in your pet’s room.

First up is the Party Punch Dispenser.

The Party Punch Dispenser looks like a ghost ship, so I put it in this Halloween party room:

When you click on the Party Punch Dispenser you get a glass of Party Punch:

Next is the Webkinz Icepresso Machine:

I think the Icepresso Machine is a perfect fit for a cafe or coffee shop themed room:

The Webkinz Icepresso Machine dispenses one Ice Frothy each day.

Now let’s take a closer look at the Pink Popcorn Machine:

To me the Pink Popcorn Machine seems like the perfect match for a slumber party, so I placed it in this movie/birthday/slumber party room I’ve been working on:

When you click on the Pink Popcorn Machine, you get a bowl of popcorn.

Last up is the Milkshake Machine:

I liked the idea of putting the Milkshake Machine in a diner themed room.

You can click on the Milkshake Machine each day to receive one 50’s Diner Milkshake.

Do you have any food dispensers in your pet’s rooms? Which food dispensers are your favorite? Let me know in the comments to receive a special food via Kinzpost!

A closer look at Bake Sale prizes

Still trying to decide which recipes you want to whip up with your Bake Sale items? Here are a few pictures of the items I’ve made so far so you can get a better idea of what they look like.

First up is the chocolate theme:

Here’s the Chocolate Chip Sofa:

And here’s a look at the Chocolate Chip Column – I’m hoping to get three of these:

Here’s the Chocolate Chip Bean Bag Chair, which I think looks cuter in a room than it does in the cookbook:

Finally, here’s a look at some of the pieces put together with the Sweet Stripes Wallpaper:

Next up, let’s take a closer look at the cafeteria theme.

Here’s Cafeteria Bench:

Here’s what the Cafeteria Table looks like with two benches:

Up next is the Cafeteria Counter, which is actually a refrigerator:

Finally, here’s a look at some of the cafeteria items put together in a room with the Cafeteria Wallpaper:

Those are all of the Bake Sale recipe items I’ve cooked up so far. I still haven’t done the Cafeteria Tray or the Kinzville Shop Window.

Which Bake Sale recipe items are your favorite? Which of the two themes do you like best?

My recipe for Bake Sale success

The Bake Sale event in Webkinz World has been underway for a few days now, so I’m kind of late in posting this, but I still wanted to share the approach I’ve taken to collecting the Bake Sale items and keeping them organized.

I thought it would be fun to make a special room just for storing the Bake Sale items and the Bake Sale cookbook. I did a room for each of my accounts. I filled them with a few refrigerators, a stove and some decorations to make them look pretty. I used medium sized rooms:

This setup allows me to do all my Bake Sale cooking in one room. Also I was thinking I might accidentally feed my pet a Bake Sale item, so I knew that I wanted to keep them stored in a refrigerator.

What things have you been doing to enjoy the Bake Sale event?
