There has only been one seasonal item for Valentine's day in the wShop, the Cinnamon Hearts. The Cinnamon Hearts were sold in the wShop in February 2007 and 2008, but not in 2009. The Cinnamon Hearts have also been included in the Valentine Gift Bags for 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010.

Seasonal eStore Items

In 2009, Ganz introduced two seasonal items at the Ganz eStore for February: the Cupid's Shimmering Spring and the Sweetheart Symphony Piano. Both items are animated, and the Piano plays part of the song "Pachelbel's Canon".

In 2010, Cupid's Shimmering Spring and the Sweetheart Symphony Piano both returned. Ganz also added several new items: Love Letters Hat, Sweet Surprise Costume, Heart on Sleeve Shirt and Pants, Dearly Devoted Dress, and Love Bird Lake.

Seasonal Webkinz

In 2007, Ganz introduced the Love Puppy as a seasonal Webkinz for Valentine's day. The Love Puppy was officially retired, and has not been re-released for sale.

In 2008, Ganz introduced the Love Frog. In 2008 there was some speculation that Ganz might also be releasing a Love Kitten, but this turned out not to be true (see below).

In 2009, Ganz introduced the Love Monkey. The Love Frog also returned for another year.

In 2010, Ganz introduced the Love Lion. Both the Love Frog and the Love Monkey returned for another year.

In 2009, Ganz introduced the Love Dino. The Love Dino is a virtual-only Webkinz that can only be purchased at the Ganz eStore during the Valentine season.

In 2010, the Love Dino returned, but it returned for customers with Deluxe Membership. The Love Kitten was first released in February 2010, to all customers.

History of the Love Kitten

The rumors of a Love Kitten date back to February 2008 when a picture of a cat covered in hearts (shown above) appeared in Quizzy's Calendar.[1] There was lots of speculation by Webkinz players on what this picture might mean, but none of it was confirmed by Ganz.

Then, due to a glitch with the Ganz eStore, for a few hours on June 4th, 2008, several items were made visible that were not supposed to be offered for sale. One of those items was a Love Kitten that was marked "Out of Stock" and could not be purchased. Ganz quickly fixed the glitch, but not before word had spread through the online Webkinz community.[2][3]

Shortly after correcting the glitch, Ganz contacted Webkinz Insider to request that the front page story showing pictures of the items be removed. Ganz also asked WI to "make it clear that those items are not available, will not be available soon, and may never be available."[4]

In 2010, two years after the Love Kitten first appeared in Quizzy's Calendar, Ganz finally offered it for sale in the Ganz eStore.

Accessories

For 2010, Ganz released a Love Frog KinzKlip. The KinzKlip came as a package deal attached to a Webkinz Love Frog. Like all other KinzKlips, this item's feature code gives players access to Zumwhere.

My Page Badge

On Valentine's Day 2009 a new MyPage badge was introduced to Webkinz World. To receive this badge, players had to send a KinzPost note on February 14th with a heart-shaped sticker on the message.[5]
