Are Your Negg Prizes Gathering Dust?


by lyzzy170

--------

Well, folks, that’s a wrap on another successful Festival of Neggs! Neopians gathered in Faerieland this year to celebrate one of the most popular annual events. Yes, the Festival of Neggs is one of the most popular events despite Orion’s comments… Let us continue! The dedicated — and usually cheery — Negg Faerie, Kari, hosted another wonderful event even though she kicked off the festivities in a gloomy mood.

     If you completed Kari’s quests each day, congratulations on your Negg collection! Now, you’re probably wondering what to do with all those prizes you have stockpiled in your Safety Deposit Box. Well, you’re in luck now that you have the Very Official Guide of Recommended Uses of Your Year 26 Festival of Negg Prizes! Let’s begin.

     Grey Ukulele: One of this year’s hottest Negg choices was the Grey Negg! That means you’re probably holding on to one, two, or even 14 Grey Ukuleles! Congratulations?? If you thought you were going to strum the latest hits from The Hikalakas on your new ukulele, think again. This ukulele doesn’t even play music! Have no fear, our team of experts is here to help you put that ukulele to work!

     If you’re handy, we recommend flipping your Grey Ukulele upside down and sticking it into the ground. Now, you have a birdhouse for your Weewoo or other flying friends to roost. Not into flying Petpets? No worries! You could always cut your Grey Ukulele in half and fill it with dirt. Now, you have a sad planter for your Neohome patio just in time to plant those Blue Fan Flowers for spring.

     Carmariller Plushie: Are you one of the many Neopians who thought you snagged a Plushie Carmariller? What a prize that would have been, eh? That’s okay! Your Carmariller Plushie still has many uses beyond collecting dust in your Plushie Gallery and it’s JUST SO CUTE. For starters, you could string your Carmariller Plushie on a pole to fool your friends into thinking you have a real Plushie Carmariller. They’ll never know the difference! Or, you could string your plushies together to make the cutest plushie scarf. The possibilities are truly endless because the Carmariller Plushie is the CUTEST. Moving on…

     Umbra Body Butter: Can’t handle the divine smell of Umbra’s Body Butter anymore? We know the fragrance is… strong… so here are some alternative uses for your remaining body butter. Use a pea-sized amount to tame the frizz in your most unruly wig and achieve that slicked-back look that’s all the rage these days! Did you know you can also use Umbra’s Body Butter to polish your furniture? That’s right! The next time you invite company over, dash about your Neohome with your body butter jar and rub a small amount onto your wood furniture. Your place will be sparkling in no time!

     Baby Bruce Candy Box: If you are one of the many Neopians with lollipops EVERYWHERE, we’re here to help! All you need to do is crush up your remaining lollipops into teeny tiny pieces. Now, grab a metal ring and place it onto a baking sheet. Carefully fill your metal ring with your lollipop pieces and bake until melted. Once melted, carefully remove from the oven. Now, you have a singular, larger, more colourful lollipop. Lollipop surplus problem: solved!

     Thoughtful Spa Gift: Wait, were you planning on keeping all those robes for yourself? The solution is in the name. The Thoughtful Spa Gift is the perfect gift of rest and relaxation for your friends. Whether it’s a gift to your third cousin to celebrate their Math’s Nightmare Gold Trophy or a gift for your friend who just started Insane Mode on NeoQuest, send this fluffy, comfy robe so they can continue putting in the hours to get their avatar in zen style. Or, you could keep the gift for yourself and sew them together to make a *massive* blanket perfect for a spa-like blanket fort. Cosy!

     Berry Glitchy Smoothie Bowl: You didn’t try to eat this, did you? No? Good. The Berry Glitchy Smoothie Bowl is a questionable smoothie, but it makes the perfect far-out nightlight, no batteries necessary! Light up your living room, bedroom, or garden with these bright colours. Your Neohome will be the talk of the neighbourhood. We aren’t sure where the luminosity comes from, but this isn’t a scientific guide. Let’s move on.

     Peeking Bikiwan Toy: Peekaboo! Did the Bikiwan scare you? Oh, no, it didn’t? Okay. If you have a few of these toys lying around after this year’s Festival of Neggs, we have you covered. The Peeking Bikiwan Toy’s circumference happens to be the exact same measurement as the coconuts handed out at the Haunted Woods Fairground Coconut Shy tent, making them the perfect toy to practice your throws. Now, you have no excuse for not being able to knock down or shatter those coconuts because the only reason for your lack of avatar is most definitely your aim, not Leeroy. He is an honest pet, so get to practising!

     Glitched Topsi Plushie: Oh, no! Topsi returned to the Festival of Neggs?! Don’t worry readers, it’s just a plushie of Topsi, and according to our records, the real Topsi’s programming is still safe and sound. Now, what to do with your Glitched Topsi Plushie? First things first, we highly recommend you take your Glitched Topsi Plushie to the Space Faerie on Virtupets so Mira’s team can verify that your plushie doesn’t contain hidden Dr. Sloth programming. Once the authenticity of your Glitched Topsi Plushie is verified, don’t let your new toy sit to gather dust on the shelf. This light-up plushie makes the perfect reading light to snuggle up with while you flip through the last few pages of Zenor Kevix: A Biography. Nice!

     Now, onto prizes with the more obvious uses, just in case you can’t decide what to do with them.

     Wearables: Were you one of the lucky Neopians that opened a Negg to find Inside Ednas Tower Background, the Glitch Filter, a Plushie Negg Handheld, or the Colorful Spring Petpet Garland? Score! Obviously, you can add these items to your closet or you could sell them to other Neopians who weren’t so lucky. The choice is yours!

     Nostalgic Grey Draik Stamp: Ah, one of this year’s most sought-after prizes, the Nostalgic Grey Draik Stamp! This stamp unveiled the new Grey page in your stamp album, making it the perfect addition to your collection. If you don’t collect stamps, you could always sell your stamp to another Neopian. Or, you could wallpaper the walls of your Neohome with your collection. It’s up to you!

     Easter Concoction: Mmm, this bubbling rainbow concoction smells DIVINE! This isn’t just any ordinary essence of Negg concoction though. This prize has added food dye to give you a magical item that not only heals your pet by 26 hit points in the Battledome but looks and smells amazing while doing it! If battling isn’t your thing, you could mix your Easter Concoction with your favourite icing to give your next round of cupcakes a bubbling, rainbow effect. Or, you could sell it for battlegoers preparing for a looming event…

     Self Care Book: The Self Care Book is a MUST-read this season. This latest release has already hit the top of the charts in Neopia, so make sure you read your copy immediately. You wouldn’t want to miss out on any book club discussions, would you? If you have an extra copy or two on hand, we recommend finding a take-a-book-leave-a-book program in your neighbourhood. You’ll be sure to hit your book-reading goals in no time!

     That concludes our Very Official Guide of Recommended Uses of Your Year 26 Festival of Negg Prizes. Hopefully, you have made use of each and every prize you received this year. If not, don’t forget about the Rubbish avatar but please, Neopians, remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle!

     See you next year for another round of exclusive, Neggtastic prizes!
