Growing up, I had close to 30 Webkinz and when combined with my siblings, we had about 90. Looking back, I laugh at how insane that amount is but we were obsessed. And we weren’t the only ones. Here are some signs that Webkinz was your life:
1. You had multiple
It was like a mini family.
2. You remembered each of their birthdays and threw a party, at least once.
It was a major event.
3. You brought them to play dates
You loved to play with their pets you didn't have.
4. Your house looked like it was designed by a professional because that’s how serious you took it
5. You dressed your Webkinz better than you dressed yourself
