Quote of the Week
Ailemea entered the nursery and was confronted by the sight of not two but nine babies. They dashed around in a state of adorable chaos, hanging from the head and climbing the back of a rather harassed and worn-looking Ogrin.

This is where you can feel free to get creative. Is the mood lighthearted and joyful? Or are we aiming for a darker gothic atmosphere?

Once you’ve narrowed down the theme and mood, you’ll choose your key decorative elements appropriately to bring your theme and vision to life.

Nothing brightens up a room like fresh flowers. Candlelight: for a soft, warm, inviting ambience I’d pick up some Pretty Heart Balloons, a Pink Flower Bouquet and a few of those lovely Floral Aroma Candles. If you’re struggling to find a cohesive arrangement, you can’t go wrong sticking to anything pink, red or heart-shaped. No matter what they are, they’ll definitely go together!

What Your Neofriends Really Want For Valentine’s Day
Valentine's Day is here, and you know what that means - it's time to spoil your Neofriends! I mean, they're your Neofriends, of course, you want to get them something special. But before you start tossing heart-shaped plushies and overpriced flowers at them, let's talk about what they really want. Sure, those gifts are cute, but let's be honest, most of them wind up in a shop for resale. This year, why not go the extra mile? We're talking wishlist items, stamp album additions, or something they can actually use. Because at the end of the day, it's the thought that counts, but it's the consumable that really seals the deal!
Without further ado, let's dive into five items you should avoid and five perfect picks your Neofriends will actually love!
What Not To Buy
Let’s start with a quick, definitive list of things you need to avoid.
#1 - Flowers
Okay, okay. Flowers are cute, flowers are pretty. Flowers eventually die, my friend! Flowers don’t raise your avatar count! We don’t press flowers into an album! I don’t care how cute the Among Flowers Background is or how pretty the Flowers of Inner Healing are. Eventually, these items will phase out and end up in their permanent home: the Rubbish Dump. Next!
#2 - Food
We have a few caveats here - some food is cool, but only the fancy stuff. We’ll get into the details in a sec (see #1 in the “What to Buy” section). But if you’re sitting there thinking, “Hm, I think I’ll grab some ransom snacks for my Neofriends, food is food, right?” THINK AGAIN! We all know everyone’s got their pets checked into the Neolodge like they’re on an all-inclusive vacation. And one poor, starving pet they left behind? That’s not neglect, that’s strategy, my friend. That pet is on a gourmet feeding mission or they’re making sure they don’t miss their daily Quest Log tasks. So unless it’s gourmet, or they have a food-themed gallery, seriously, think. Again. |
 | Valentine’s Day Activities You’ll Adore!
Do you have any plans for Valentine’s Day this year? No!? Well, you’ve come to the right article. There’s so much to love about spending Valentine’s Day on Neopets. Whether you are lucky in love, or heartbroken and healing, there are plenty of fun ways to spend this special day. You’ll fall head over heels for these various Valentine’s Day activities! 1). Pick Your Own - You may have already picked a special someone to be your Valentine, but you can also go berry picking in Meridell. While you can find a bushel of lovely berries in the patch, the main reason to go picking is to find the legendary Loveberry, of course! Try to fill up your basket with six of them. You can present them to your Valentine as a “berry” nice gift! 2). Visit the Neggery - For just 18 points, you can buy your sweetie a Sweet Heart Negg from the Neggery inside of the Ice Caves. This Negg is adorned with a beautiful red bow, perfect for celebrating a special Valentine’s Day. 3). Feed a Negg to your pet - While we’re on the topic of Neggs, why not grab a few to feed to your Neopet? Show your Neopet you love them by feeding them a Heart Shaped Negg. Make your Neopet feel extra special by presenting them with a mouth-watering Steak Negg. |

"The Un-Valentines Day Ball" by maddie_bangz ”And… perfect!” Mezmerella stepped back to admire her handiwork. All of her Un-Valentines Plushies were now perfectly arranged on her shelf. All of their sad, grey faces frowned at her as she made sure each one was exactly in line with the rest. She absentmindedly tapped her finger against the one empty spot on the shelf. “Well… almost perfect.” She grumbled. She’d had a hard time finding the final plushie to complete her collection, the Un-Valentines Cybunny Plushie. She’d left a neat and tidy little spot on her shelf for the plushie, ready for when she was finally able to get her hands on one. She obsessively wiped and dusted this shelf every day, keeping her precious plushies in pristine condition. She loved these plushies because they looked just like her, a soft shade of grey. Mezmerella was contemplating another trip to the Plushie Palace when suddenly, CRASH! Something solid soared through her open window and landed with a plop on the floor. She jumped back in surprise and nearly fled the room in fear, but stopped as her eyes landed on the object. It was a present. Specifically, a grey present tied with a... |
"Saving Valentine's Day" by therainbowsheep Jerzen eagerly scooted over to the kitchen as the oven timer dinged with a loud chime. Her cookies were ready! Strawberry Cheesecake flavoured for Valentine’s Day, perfectly on theme. While the Chocolate Jubjub naturally favoured all things chocolate, she had developed a knack for baking and loved turning to this hobby when any sort of holiday or occasion rolled around. She sniffed the air appreciatively as she carefully removed the tray of gooey cookies out of the oven and set them on the counter to cool. She beamed at the bits of freshly chopped strawberry and white chocolate chips. This looked like the perfect batch, truly! Her friends would love these. Jerzen rested her hands on her face thoughtfully and let herself daydream of the day to come. She had developed a Valentine’s tradition that she had come to look forward to very much. First, she baked a newly perfected recipe to share with her loved ones. Glancing at the cookies resting on the kitchen counter again, she mentally checked that off her list. Cookies: done. Her closest friends would be arriving in several hours for a small gathering where they would eat delicious sweet treats... |
