The WebkinzEstore (http://www.webkinzestore.com) has quite a lot of specials today for New Year's Day. They don't have a lot of great deals in terms of price but they do have a good number of available stuff even when you take away the bunch from the Circus Theme.

Hooray for jelly beans plants - happy snacking!

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! May the end of 2008 be safe and fun so you can start 2009 off on the right foot!

New Year's Eve is a Wednesday so the webkinzestore.com has virtual pets in stock today if you want to spend some of that holiday gift money you might have gotten. Their selection includes a pair of fun ones today - the Tinkerpup and Bubblegumasaurus. No deals though, both are full price at $12.50.

Have you all seen the Webkinz shirts for humans? We've seen them online but for the first time, we checked out one in person at our local Hallmark.

Hayley wasn't clamoring for it - it seemed geared towards younger kids as opposed to someone like Hayley is who almost 11. They didn't have the full selection- I know she'd like one like the shirt posted above. Some of the ones online seem different and a bit cooler - of course it is hard to create anything that will appeal to boys and girls from about five to tweens.

The employment office is a great way to make money, especially if you are willing to be a regular visitor. You can visit every eight hours and really move up the ladder to higher level jobs quickly if you are good at the ones you choose.

There are three levels to each job and the highest level will pay $175 for completing - not bad for what might be about two minutes of your game time. Some jobs do have requirements so make sure you've put in some time with Quizzy answering some of his questions before you try some jobs!

I checked ours - $31,100 total earnings on the main account.

We are giving away a lil'kinz pet code and a Webkinz Cares code - the red second code comes with the walgreen webkinz that lets you have five chances to play the Webkinz Cares game.

There will be two winners - one will get the pet code, the other winner the webkinz cares code. Each winner will get the code to redeem in the game for the pet or item.

We noticed a strange thing on the main screen of Webkinz World after you login. The image references new pets arriving in January but it has conflicting numbers. One says nine new pets but the other says eight - see the arrows and lines.

We thought it was a typo but it has been up for a couple of days now and it would be very easy to fix. However it is the holidays and maybe everyone at Ganz is out shopping!
