On The Hunt For Hallmark Webkinz

If you or your kids are fans of Webkinz, then you know how crucial it is to own the newest and the rarest Webkinz. When toys like these are in such high demand (remember Tickle Me Elmo?), it can be hard, if not impossible to find the plush pet that you're looking for. Luckily, we've been selling Hallmark Webkinz for quite some time now, and we've got some tips to help you find even the most elusive pet. Ganz, the manufacturer of these lovely plush pets, creates Webkinz that each feature a unique code that allows you to enter the wonderful Webkinz World. All of us at Hallmark are happy to carry Webkinz by Ganz, and we encourage you to check out Ganz.com, the manufacturer, and our shelves for the Webkinz themselves!

Look Local
Most Hallmark stores carry Webkinz, though the selection varies by store. Scout out the locations near you and call ahead to see if they carry Hallmark Webkinz, and how many are in stock. There are usually several Hallmarks in any region, so it helps to ask around. In fact, we have seven Hallmark stores of our own, where we try to keep a variety of pets in stock.

If they have them in stock, go for a visit! Even if you don't find what you want, this is a chance for you to meet the store's managers. Let them know what Hallmark Webkinz you're trying to find, and ask about any waiting lists they might have. Just because they're out of the Clydesdale Horse you wanted in our Webkinz Collection, doesn't mean they won't have it in the future! Always thank them for their time and be polite. After being hounded all day by stressed out moms and disappointed kids, a cheery smile from you just might bump you to the top of the waiting list.

Shopping Online
Sometimes you can't find the Hallmark Webkinz you're looking for in stores. Or maybe you want to avoid the hassle of driving from store to store on a Saturday afternoon. Either way, the internet is a powerful tool in your Webkinz search. While you can buy new and used pets online, we strongly recommend buying new. There's no guarantee your Secret Codes will still be active with used pets, and once they've been used, they're gone forever.

Just like in person, you should contact the store owner and ask them about upcoming promotions or exclusive pets like the Hallmark Webkinz Peppermint Puppy. Sign up for email newsletters and keep checking back for sales. You'll have the added benefit of having your Hallmark Webkinz shipped directly to your home.

With a little bit of persistence, you should be able to find the Hallmark Webkinz you've been searching for. The Webkinz experts at Coppin's Hallmark are here to answer your questions and help you find the plush pet you've been dreaming of!

Note: Ganz is the manufacturer of Webkinz pets, and we’re proud to carry Webkinz at our Hallmark online and brick and mortar stores.
