A brief history of Webkinz Day

A look back at 20 years of login gifts!

It all began on April 29, 2006, when players first logged in to celebrate the very first Webkinz Day.
 
 
Created to mark the launch of Webkinz World, Webkinz Day quickly became a yearly tradition in Kinzville. From the very beginning, players could look forward to special login gifts, exciting surprises, and a chance to spin the Superwheel for even more prizes.
 
 

As the celebration grew, so did the excitement. In 2008 and 2009, retailers even joined in by hosting special Webkinz Day extravaganzas, bringing the celebration into the real world with fun activities for the Webkinz community.
 
 

Over the years, Webkinz Day has become one of the most anticipated events of the year. Each April 29, players log in to collect a brand-new, exclusive gift.
 
 

Take a look at all of the Webkinz Day login gifts from the past 20 years. How many do you remember collecting?
 
 
On April 29, be sure to log in to Webkinz Classic and Webkinz Next to receive your 21st Webkinz Day login gift.
 
 

This year, you can also celebrate by adopting an eligible plush pet. Each adoption comes with a special Webkinz Day gift box filled with exciting rewards in both games.
 
 

Don’t miss out—Webkinz Day only comes once a year!

    I love this event but not too impressed with the classic prizes exept for the points. As a long time player I don’t need coupons

    I’ve played since my grown children gave me an account Feb. 7 2007. Unfortunately I’m the only one playing with three of their accounts and three of mine in Classic and one in Next. I still enjoy them all and start and end my day with Webkinz!

    In the fine print it says only certain new adoption pets are eligible for the extra prizes. Which pets qualify for this? Thanks for the many enjoyable and fun things you come up with .

    We love you, Webkinz!!! Thank you for making this the best game for 21 years! This is the best game and it’s so admirable and impressive that you’ve never taken the game down! I think you’re the only one that kept going this whole time and always updated it and put your heart into the game!!! We can’t thank you enough <3

    Only nine days until Webkinz 21st Anniversary!! I started playing in December 2006, so I missed the first Webkinz Day celebration. I look forward to Webkinz day every year; it’s a great way to celebrate this wonderful game and our amazing community, and it’s the perfect time to recognize all the incredible people who work to keep Webkinz and Next going. Thank you all! What an amazing team.

    I have almost every trophy from 5 to 20! I’m missing years 7, 9, and 12. I wasn’t able to log in for Webkinz Day those years.

    please consider changing the rules for webkinz days prizes! people who have used their codes for sparking are left out unless they buy more of the same pet! buying two of the same plush is enough but buying a third just to get a prize is unfair for them!

    I know I got at least year 10 onward. I am not sure about 8 & 9. I would have been brand new for year 8, and a free player who hadn’t yet discovered WKN, so the activities that I did were hit or miss back then. Discovering WKN really opened up the whole game for me. I am so thankful for this community!
