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

Winners: Puffer Vest Giveaway

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!

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.

Christmas Fashion and Ornament Outfit Giveaway!

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!

Exploring the Countryside Christmas Theme

A brand new theme has arrived at the Wshop just in time for the winter holiday season. It’s the Countryside Christmas theme, and it was chosen as the winner out of three different themes by readers on Webkinz Newz.

The Countryside Christmas theme is interesting because it creates an outdoor scene, but you build it in an indoor room. The outdoor look is achieved through the wallpaper and flooring.

Another interesting aspect of the Countryside Christmas theme is the Cottage Kit, which you must build by asking your friends for materials.

But before we delve too much further into the individual pieces of the theme, let’s take a look at the big picture. The Countryside Christmas theme is made up of 13 pieces. These pieces range in price from 800 to 180 kinzcash, with the Cottage Kit being the most expensive item in the theme.

Here’s a look at all of the individual pieces in the Countryside Christmas collection:

The Countryside Toboggan Hill is the second most expensive piece at 600 kinzcash. The Toboggan Hill is interactive – your pet can actually slide down the hill on a little sled:

As you can see in the gif above, my Countryside Cottage is still a work in progress. You build the cottage in three stages, and each stage requires that you ask your friends (including Webkinz Hosts like Amanda Panda and Ms. Birdy) for the supplies.

Here are the three stages of the Countryside Cottage:

One piece of the Countryside Christmas theme that I especially like is the Pine Tree. The Pine Tree is neat because it actually has four different “looks,” depending on which way the tree is turned:

I like how the size of the tree and the pattern of the snow both change as you turn the tree.

The Countryside Christmas theme contains two different types of tiles – Road Tiles and Frozen Creek Tiles.

First up are the Road Tiles, which look like a vehicle has driven through the snow. There is a straight piece and a curved piece:

The Frozen Creek Tiles, just like their name suggests, look like a frozen body of water running through your outdoor scene. There’s a straight piece and a curved piece here also:

The fence pieces in the Countryside Christmas theme are interesting because even though the two types look alike, they actually work in two completely different ways.

With the Countryside Christmas Fence, you can place it anywhere INSIDE your room:

However, the Countryside Border Fence is for outdoor rooms and must be placed along the EDGES of your room:

The last two pieces of the Countryside Christmas theme are the Christmas Tree and the Snow Covered Lamp Post, both of which will mix and match well with other holiday themes:

So what do you think about the Countryside Christmas theme? Do you plan to buy some of the pieces or maybe even create a whole room? Which piece of the theme is your favorite? Let me know in the comments – the first five people to comment will get a Countryside Christmas gift via kinzpost!

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!

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?
