Moose

Hey, jammers! I have another mini-post today on the most recent animal to come to Jamaa for the first time, the moose! Enjoy!

Moose were released for the first time on November 14th, 2019 which was a little less than a month ago.  Moose were originally released on Animal Jam Play Wild on November 28th, 2018. Then they came to Animal Jam (computer-version) this year!

The moose are pretty tall and with very long legs compared to past animals. There main colour is purple but can obviously be changed to any of the colours on the colour chart. Above is a picture of my personal moose, Robyn.

You can buy them for 10 diamonds in the Diamond Shop and for 150 sapphires in the Sapphire Shop, on Animal Jam Play Wild. You can also buy pet moose for 3 diamonds in the Diamond Shop.

Thanks for reading this mini-post jammers! Stay tuned for a day in the life post on Robyn the Moose.

Fashionable Jamaaliday Jammers

Hi, jammers! I can’t believe it’s already the 9th day of the Jamaalidays! I think the gifts have overall been pretty decent this year. I always like when Animal Jam releases new items in the calendar like the Inflatable Reindeer. I was scrolling through my list of categories when I realised it’s been forever since I’ve done a Fashionable Jammers post, and since it’s that time of year I decided to do it Jamaaliday-themed. Enjoy!

This outfit stood out to me because it’s both pretty epic. Not only that, a non-member was wearing it which helps prove that you can go pretty full-out Jamaaliday non-member or member.

When I saw this outfit all I could think about was how when deer came out back in December 2013, I think it was, everyone was going pretty crazy either being a reindeer or reindeer owner. It seemed like every den had a reindeer farm in it.

This is a pretty fashionable and fancy outfit. I love the Jamaaliday Designer Skirt, which is definitely one of my favourite Jamaaliday clothing items. This is a totally adorable style!

This pig was so cute, and I loved how they made their outfit very Jamaaliday-ey while also being pretty in fashion. I’ve been a non-member and I know how hard it is sometimes to get cute clothes for your animal, but I have to admit… a lot of the cutest Jamaaliday outfits I see are actually non-member ones.

This is definitely a more hip Jamaaliday outfit. I love their plaid shirt, and unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get their cute baseball cap.

This outfit is definitely simpler but it’s still pretty cool with the red worn and candy cane socks. If your looking for a cooler, warrior-like outfit for the Jamaalidays this could be your go-to.

One thing I love about Fashionable Jammers was all the ideas I get from it. For example, I’ve worn outfits similar to the one above before, but I never had the idea of adding cute wellies!

This person was doing a holiday roleplay and I think they had a pretty great outfit.  They used the Jamaaliday Big Hair which was the Jamaaliday Gift today as well as jeans and a Jamaaliday Puffer Jacket.

I guess if you don’t have a deer this outfit works out pretty well. Coyotes bare a resemblance to Deer, especially with the antlers. If you don’t have a deer but an animal like a coyote, horse, or even a hyena this could work if you want to roleplay as a reindeer for the holiday season.

Another simple non-member outfit which is actually very Jamaaliday-ey while only using one actual “Jamaaliday item” per se (the Jamaaliday Flower Crown released on Friday.) The decorated their penguin with Jamaaliday colours as well as a friendship bracelet and mira necklace. Very creative!

Thanks for reading this post, jammers! Stay tuned for more upcoming posts this week!

Jamaaliday Rescue

Hi! Today, I’ll be doing a post about the seasonal Jamaaliday Rescue adventure! Enjoy!

There is no time limit to Jamaaliday Rescue but you go through a maze and collect as many presents you can. You can receive gifts for the number of presents you collect at 75, 150, 250, and 350.

At the centre of the maze is a big area with a snow castle, where you can collect more gifts as well as about twenty or so more presents. There are reindeer throughout the adventure, and they are kind of signs you’re on the right path.

The adventure is usually pretty laggy because of all of the decorations and presents and such but it still remains one of my favourites. Probably because it’s holiday-themed.

Below are some photos of the adventure. On this specific adventure, I got 302/350 gifts, which I thought was pretty good overall.

You’re welcomed to the adventure by Darter

The first “gate,” as I like to call it, into the second area of the adventure.

One of the areas where four people can jump and enter a “room” of sorts where you can get more presents.

Thanks for reading my post about my favourite seasonal adventure, the Jamaaliday Rescue! I recommend checking it out and maybe earning a few gifts that you can keep, trade, or sell. Happy Jamaalidays!

Winter Small House

Hi jammers! Today I have a post about the Winter Small House den. Enjoy!

About The Den

The Winter Small House Den is available to all jammers. The den was released pretty recently on January 10th, 2019. This den has the same layout as the Small House Den and Autumn Small House Den but just with snow and ice outside. You can buy it for only 2,000 gems in the den shop, the same as the Small and Autumn Den.

Inside The Den

None of my animals currently “live” in my Winter Small House so Oakley the Jamaaliday Deer will be giving us a tour today.

Snow in the winter in Jamaa is a common occurrence, and that means lots of time for playing in the snow. Above are a couple of snowman at my small house.

Sledding, snowboarding, and of course, snowball fights, are all popular activities as well.

And of course, there is nothing like making snow angels.

After playing in the snow, you can head straight inside to the hot cocoa machine where you can make a variety of hot cocoas. If that’s not enough there’s a snowman fridge too!

The living room/dining area are pretty simple in my den with a few paradise mats, table decoration, and a snowflake table to decorate the area.

The bedroom is pretty cosy with a furry rug, a mini Jamaaliday tree, a calender, bed, nightstand, and a TV. You can spend so many winter days here.

I like this den because it’s available to both member and non-member jammers. It’s nice how Animal Jam is starting to expand its options for non-members. I hope they keep this up!

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for more Jamaaliday posts coming your way soon.

Rags to Riches Bundle

Hi, jammers! Even though we’re already almost through our first week of December, and the Winter Gala Member Bundle came out on Tuesday, I decided to give a little cover of November’s Member Bundle. Enjoy!

The Rags to Riches Bundle was the gift for new members joining in November 2019. This bundle came with a variety of items related to a rich and poor.

The bundle comes with a Lemur (we’ll do a Day in the Life post about the new lemur soon.)

The rags part of the bundle includes pants, a work shirt and scarf, a newsboy cap, and a broom tail.

Some of the den items that are more associated with the rags part including a steamer trunk, old-timey phone, and old timey radio. I love the phone because I think it’s a great decoration for all den types.

For the riches clothing part of the bundle, there is a heart necklace, tiara, tail rings, evening gown, and silver bracelets. I think the clothes bare a similiar resemblance to some previous armour and matching sets sold in the Diamond Shop.

For the riches, furniture items include a worn card table, a fancy elevator, dining table, fireplace, and a very confusing sectional pieces. I had a really hard time figuring out how to put the variety of sectional pieces together because there don’t seem to be any pictures out on the internet of them.

This set also came with Ol’ Barn and Princess Castle dens, which I thought was pretty generous of AJHQ. Two dens in one set isn’t very common.

I like this bundle but I think that some of the items (like the sectional) are kind of confusing. I’ll do a new post soon on the Winter Gala Bundle for December. Thanks for reading!

Jamaaliday Jam

Hi, jammers! As promised I’m back with a post about the Jamaaliday Jam party. Enjoy!

The Jamaaliday Jam has been happening for almost 8 years now! Every year it comes back with the first Jamaaliday release of the month. Sometimes, it’ll even appear for a week or two in July for Jamaalidays in July.

The Jamaaliday Jam takes place in a Jamaaliday House Den with a few added features. There are three stores in the party, making it one of the parties with the most items. There is a song store where you can buy the Winter’s Dance Music.

Another one of the Jamaaliday Shops sells clothing items, five-member and one non-member.

The other Jamaaliday Shop is the biggest and at the entrance to the party. It has over four pages of items to chose from as you can see above.

One of my favourite parts of the party is the magically magnetic wafer slides. If you get to close you’ll suddenly go flying down the snow slide.

Happily, a little surprise is at the bottom. There is a cute campfire with, get this, marshmallow chairs around it. If you click on the campfire you can also get a delicious looking s’more.

\

Another must-do highlight of the party is a chocolate hot tub/pool (works either way.) It’s literally lined with dark and milk chocolate chips and whipped cream and filled with chocolate. That’s kind of awesome, tbh.

The upstairs of the den, next to the chocolate hot tub, is a cute and festive room. You can peer out the winter windows to see the snowy hills in the distance or warm up in front of the fireplace.

The downstairs of the den is the main area, per say. There is another fireplace (Jamaa winters are definitely some of the coldest around.) There are tons of presents, an aesthetic Jamaaliday tree, cookies, a gingerbread house, and of course, stockings.

Going to the Jamaaliday Jam is one of the best ways to get in that Jamaa holiday spirit. I highly recommend going, even for a few minutes, if you see if pop up in your party list.

Jamaaliday Deer

Hi jammers! I have a mini – post today, on one of our favourite animals that’s back just in time for the holiday season, the Jamaaliday Deer. Enjoy!

They came to Jamaa for the second time this December. However, they were first released for the Jamaaliday season in November 29th, 2018, just after the Feast of Thanks ended.

The Jamaaliday deer has a candy cane pattern on its chest, ears, arms, and legs. They have a variety of presents dotting their back. You are able to change the colour of the stripes and presents with the eight different pre-chosen colour patterns.

Like previous animals such as the Spring Bunny, they leave a trail behind them. The Jamaaliday deer leaves a variety of presents, candy canes, and holly coordinated to the colour of the deer.

They only cost 1,000 gems in the animal shop. I hope you buy this festive animal this year! Stay tuned for a post this upcoming Thursday, about my personal Jamaalday Deer. Thanks for reading, jammers!

Jamaalidays 2019

Hi everybody! I haven’t been active on the blog recently since I’ve been having a hard time getting into the Animal Jam website. Since today was the first day of the Jamaalidays, I finally had enough patience to wait for it to load. Hope you enjoy our kickoff Jamaalidays post!

Above is a preview of the thirty-one gifts that we’ll receive this month. You can log in every day this month to get some pretty special gifts. It looks like members will be getting a diamond every two days and three masterpiece tokens, just like last year. The gift for today, December 1st, was a diamond (member) and a spiked Jamaaliday mohawk (non-member.)

In addition, a ton of our favourite Jamaaliday items are coming back to stores around Jamaa. For those that celebrate Christmas, the Epic Jamaaliday Tree (600 gems, Jam Mart Furniture) is a must-get. I still hope that at some point Animal Jam will come up with a menorah and Hanukkah themed items or Kwanzaa themed items.

The Jam Mart Furniture Store has also started selling ornaments, holly strands, and trees and decorated houses for pets. The Jam Mart Clothing Shop has also started selling winter gear, in addition to the Shiveer Shoppe in Mt. Shiveer.

Down at the Topiary Shop in Sarepia Forest, you can start buying your lit holiday topiaries that stand out on dark Jamaa nights.

Another exciting addition this Jamaalidays is the arrival of the Jamaaliday Deer. We will go more into these new animals in an upcoming post.

In addition, the famous Jamaaliday House is back just in time for the holidays! In the post linked above, you can take a tour of my Jamaaliday House, two years ago. The Jamaaliday House has to be one of my favourite holiday dens. I love the snow and all of the cute candy-themed items throughout the den.

Also, the Jamaaliday Jam party is back! We’ll be going on an in-depth journey through the Jamaaliday Jam party in another upcoming post.

Okay, anybody that knows me well knows that the Jamaaliday Rescue is one of my all-time favourite adventures. I’m a big fan of the Jamaalidays in general, and having a whole adventure dedicated to it is pretty awesome.

This next thing is pretty cool. For the first time, it gives a number amount of new Jamaaliday-themed items coming to stores every day this month. I can tell I’m going to lose a lot of gems to this. There is also a new set of Alpha Armor for the Jamaalidays in the Alpha Headquarters in Jamaa. To be honest, I’m not a big fan of the Headquarters ever since it replaced the beloved Club Geoz a few years ago. I still think it’s a neat idea though.

The Winter Small House is back for the second year, and I’m so glad. I love how they’ve finally expanded to having more non-member dens that portray different seasons. A great idea, of AJHQ’s part.

I hope you enjoyed the kick-off Jamaaliday post and I hope to post some more about some of these new updates in the upcoming days. Thanks for reading!
