  Webkinz is teaming up with Walgreens to promote
Webkinz Cares, a caring, sharing and helping others Webkinz Foundation.  Visit your local Walgreens and look for a Webkinz with an extra “Webkinz Foundation” tag.  Look for that extra tag (with an EXTRA special Code inside).  Unlock the special Feature Code at the Code Shop and you’ll be surprised to win special prizes for you and help the Webkinz Foundation to help Kids.  Recieve a special Webkinz Cares prize package and continue recieving prizes daily by playing the Webkinz Cares Game in the Code Shop! 

Your gift box will have some fantastic stuff insidie.  And you’ll also get a chance to play the W Cares game.  You”ll win something amazing.  The best part, though, is that whatever great prize YOU win will also be sent to someone else in Webkinz World! – Giving is GREAT!!!!

Look for this HangTag.  “The Webkinz Foundation is dedicated to improving the welfare, development, health and safety of children.”

Starting June 1st and running for one week, participating Walgreens will sell the Lil’ Kinz Cocker Spaniel for $5.99 with $1.00 being donated to the Webkinz Foundation.  The regular price for these special Webkinz Cares Lil’ Kinz will be $6.99 with $1.00 going to the Webkinz Foundation.  Each month thereafter another classic Lil’ Kinz will be offered in very limited supply.  Don’t miss out on this terrific opportunity to help others!

Is it possible that KinzChat Plus is returning to Webkinz World?  When you visit the Clubhouse you’ll notice a tree to the left of the Clubhouse has been roped off in preparation for possible treehouse construction.   I also found mention of the KinzChat PLUS Clubhouse when I clicked on the HELP button while at the Clubhouse and checked out the question “How do I make trades in the Clubhouse?”.  Trade Tables will also be in the KinzChat PLUS Clubhouse.  In the question “What are the different areas of the Clubhouse?”, the KinzChat PLUS area is mentioned again.    In the KinzChat PLUS area you will be able to type in your own messages as before.  However if the words you use in your message are not found as acceptable in Webkinz’ dictionary,  the word will turn red and you will have to change the word before you send your message.  We are looking forward to the return of KinzChat PLUS and we hope it’s not abused like before.  Why do kids have to be so mean?

TreeHouse Construction Site.  KinzChat PLUS Clubhouse Coming Soon!

Look on the Things to Do List for the new ME AND MY PETS button.  Webkinz has added a new TAB called OPTIONS.  Check it out.  You can now turn off all ads that don’t have to do with Ganz.  They will remain turned off for 30 days.  Parents have the option of turning off all ads other than Ganz/Webkinz related ads.  By clicking on the Orange square you will shut off unwanted third-party ads. 

Ganz Ad Policy:

We at Ganz fully understand your concerns about advertising. Ganz is committed to being highly responsible in our approach to advertising and the advertisers we allow on the site.  Our approach is the following:

1) All advertisers must pass our standards for quality, family-friendly products.  We will only allow “mom-approved” brands and products – such as milk, soup, toothpaste, healthy snacks – and wholesome family entertainment, such as kids’ movies.  We will not allow junk food, products that are violent nor brands and/or products that are not age-appropriate.

2) All advertising content must be approved by Ganz before appearing on Webkinz.  We do not use a second-party advertising distributor, so no inappropriate ad will ever “slip by”.

3) We currently do not allow linking off of Webkinz.com  Members must choose to type any third-party URL on their own.

4) Prizes that can be won from advertising initiatives will not be branded.  Brands will not enter into your child’s pet’s world.

5) We will limit the amount of third-party advertising that appears on our site.  The majority of advertising space will remain dedicated to Webkinz products and features and positive life style messaging.

Ganz is committed to maintaining and following these policies, and hope that we have alleviated any concerns you may have.

I’m in love with Webkinz again!  Have you seen all the new stuff for your outdoor yard?  From a Decorative Wheelbarrow to a Simply Elegant Patio Lantern, we have thirteen exciting new items to choose from at the W-Shop!!!  Of course I just spent all my KinzCash yesterday at the Curio Shop on an Imperial Urn from the Ancient Civilizations Theme so it’ll be a while before I can afford to do more landscaping and hardscaping in the backyard but you can rest assured I’ll be out there weeding and raking and watering in preparation for my new plants and accessories.  My BFF Deborah just sent by KinzPost this morning a Decorative Wheelbarrow over flowing with Black-Eyed Susans and Shasta Daisies and a flower bed full of Purple Sensation Allium Flowers!  What a great addition to our sun-filled garden path.

 When you plan your next Webkinz picnic why not go all out and redesign your patio using the brand new wrought iron Glass-Topped Patio TAble with umbrella and matching Ruby Steel Patio Chairs.  When the Lil’ Kinz jump out of the pool you won’t have to worry about their wet bathing suits when they sit at the affordable lightweight Plastic Patio Table and Chair set.   You can set your cold drink on the new Strawberry Pot Table with glass table top.  Plant some Portulaca in the growing pockets for a colorful touch.

The Begonia Flower Box brimming with pink and yellow begonias will compliment the long-standing Good Neighbors Fence.  We’ll be sure to include these happy drought tolerant flowers in our flower garden.  And how about the Flowered Stone Well!  Another drought tolerant planting for the yard uses flowering Yucca in the center surrounded by yellow and purple dime-sized Calibrachoa.  We just love these plants for our Webkinz sun-filled garden.

As a tall background planting, I’m going to plant the sculptured Garden Spruce Tree.  It reminds me of Italian Cypress which grows very well in our hot climate.  I hope the Garden Spruce Tree doesn’t get spider mites!!!  ha, ha   Plus the Garden Spruce Tree will look terrific with the topiary Spiral Bush.

Also new are the Google Wind Spinner and the Garden Zangoz.  Webkinz Google Wind Spinner is interactive.  Googles little hind legs whirl around when you click on it.  Very cute.  We love interactive items.  Garden Zangoz props himself up on his brown club and is a  cute garden gnome.

Here’s the Decorative Wheelbarrow and Google Wind Spinner in the weedy Webkinz Garden.  Buffie has got some weeding to do in the Osilily Plant garden patch.

I finally got into Trade Room 6 but nobody was there, not even me!!!!  Something crashed big time.  This was the very first time I even got into a room and then something went terribly wrong.  But while I was there I took a screen shot of the room so you can see some of the trophies that are on the Medieval Royal Banquet Dining Table.

First on the left is the Operation Gumball Trophy, Second is the Candy Bash Trophy that you get when you complete all 30 balls and the square Candy Bash 2 trophy you get when you hit Gato Loco when he’s carrying the trophy.

Here’s a great shot of the Trade Table with the comfy Loader Lounger chairs.  Webkinz Day 1 and Webkinz Day 2 Trophys are shown on the white Corinthian Trophy Pedestals and the green Strike-A-Posing stick plant is in front of the Medieval Stone Column.  The Charm Forest Flooring is a Bonus from the Charm Forest and won when you finish unlocking the 5th Row of Virtual Charms.

  Hand-Carved Lion Statue is nestled majestically between two Medieval Stone Columns.

I wonder if 2 more Trade Tables could be added to each room.  Right now there are only 5 Trade Tables per room, allowing only 10 traders to enter.  Adding more than 40 Trading Rooms would help too.  There is such a demand for trading that most of us haven’t gotten to use this secure facility. 

Trading has come back at the Webkinz Clubhouse in the reopened Trading Room.  All Trading Tables are full and it’s impossible to get in right now.  Be patient and you’ll get your turn.  Trading in the Clubhouse is the safest place to trade in Webkinz World.  Pull up a seat at the Trading Table, place your trades on the table and then confirm your exchange.  If you don’t like what the other Webkinz is trading, don’t confirm your trade.  This is super safe and a very secure and fun way to trade and get an item you’ve been desiring.

Welcome back Webkinz Trading Room!!!

The Webkinz Wizards have placed the Magic Charm Forest Tiara in my dock!  After writing to Webkinz Customer Support the problem of the missing Magic Charm Forest Tiara Grand Prize has been rectified!  Thank you so much Customer Support for your continued efforts on keeping Webkinz World the best and safest Website!  We appreciate all your hard work and personal attention.  The Technical Wizards are continuing to work on correcting the issue with the missing Actions that we were rewarded after completing three Level 5 Classes in Kinzville Academy.  Two actions went missing several weeks after they were rewarded.  We have faith in the Webkinz Wizards and know they’ll be able to find the problem and resolve it!  Here’s Puffinz proudly wearing her new Magic Charm Forest Tiara Grand Prize which she won after finding all 40 Virtual Forest Charms!

KinzMiss is a year older today and I got a Happy Birthday wish from Webkinz World!!!  Included in my Birthday Card is a Wish Token!  At first when I opened my card I thought it was for one of my Webkinz Pets and thought that now they’re receiving Wish Tokens instead of Birthday Cake.  But I have two other accounts and with each one of those accounts I also received a Happy Birthday Card!  I received 3 Wish Tokens for my birthday!  Wish Tokens can not be sent via KinzPost to your friends, so you must deposit them in the Wish Machine in the account where they were received! Thank you Webkinz World for my Birthday Present!

*******************************************

Last night while searching the Charm Forest for our last Forest Charm of the Virtual Collection, we visited the Fairy Fountain Forest and much to our delight we found the very last Virtual Forest Charm!  The Forest Charm Weather Vane was the very last Forest Charm that we needed.  The Weather Vane with the Blue Rooster completed row 8 of the Virtual Charms.  It also completed our Virtual Charm Collection of 40 Virtual Charms!  We unlocked the pair of Charm Forest Dining Chairs and the Charm Forest Dining Table which comes with all the Weather Forest Charms in row 8 and because we unlocked all 40 charms a  Webkinz Grand Prize Tiara was also to be rewarded.  However, much to our disappointment the Grand Prize was no where to be found!  Where’s the Webkinz Charm Forest Grand Prize Tiara?  We did everything right, looked everywhere in our dock for the Grand Prize and it’s not there!  We’re really bummed.  An email has gone out to Ganz, but I doubt we’ll see the Grand Prize in our dock.  I don’t think we’re alone in not getting the Grand Prize Tiara, so I hope it’s a glitch that can be fixed for future winners.

If you logged into Webkinz yesterday afternoon you saw that the Trading Room in the Clubhouse was OPEN.  The Rooms were overflowing with Webkinz Traders.  All rooms were filled to capacity and the site bogged down and crashed causing us to log out and then login again.

  The one great part about that was my Webkinz Shag A Licious got to enter the Webkinz Stadium Beauty Pageant Competition since it was not busy!  So what’s the deal with the scoring?  Shag A Licious was the first pet to score 18.  Two other Competitors then won 18 points.  The results for our Beauty Pageant competition showed that the other two competitors won KinzCash but not Shag A Licious.  He was very confused about the competition results and cried the whole way back to Kinzville.  Today when we enter the competition we’re going to dress like the models on the runway and see if that earns us more points!  We’re at level 5 in our Style Class so we’re advancing.  Maybe the other competitors are in higher levels.  That would make sense on the scoring decision.

My BFF Deborah invited me to her Webkinz Gamers Garden Theme Room this morning.  She has won the Charm Forest Tiara and was also rewarded some new Actions!  Her Webkinz Samoyed was sitting and pawing.  The cutiest thing!  I was so excited I forgot to take a screen shot.  Dang.  Congratulations Deborah on your scholastic abilities!

As suspected the Trading Room at the Webkinz Clubhouse is jammed packed.  All 49 plus rooms are FULL, FULL, FULL!!!  I can’t get in the Trading Room, but no big surprise there.  I knew it would be a very popular gathering place once the doors opened.  We’ll have to start our trading in the wee hours of the morning. Here’s a preview of what the Webkinz Trading Room looks like.  There’s only enough seats available for 10 traders at a time.  I love the bright and airy-conservatory look to the  Trading Room.

Once in the Webkinz Clubhouse Trading Room, grab a Loader Lounger chair, click on the Trading Table and get started trading.  I hope you can make your way through the crowds.  Webkinz Start Trading!
