You wouldn't wait your trip to be miserable because of your constantly growling stomach, would you? No way! So what better place to go to for this purpose than the Fruits of Brightvale shop?

The moment you walk in, you'll be greeted by a kind looking Green Acara standing by the counter, waiting to assist you in your purchases. But that's not all that will greet you! The smell of the fruit seems to just hit you in face, like a fight in the Battledome. Sweet, sour, tangy, and even rancid smells may meet your nose! And not only is your nose assaulted, so are your eyes! Vividly hued fruits are everywhere! Lime green, bright orange, electric blue and neon pink are everywhere! Such bright and beautiful colors, true edible art! There are so many great options to try when you're here, you might just spend all your money in this one shop!

To start the day, a big breakfast with a tall glass of Magenorb Juice on the side is the best thing you could wish for. Though it's sometimes too sour or sweet, there's always a chance that it'll be just right! What's life without a bit of excitement? For lunch, why not try a Skeem Jam sandwich? Tangy and sweet, you'll never be able to eat one of mom's Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches ever again! And for dinner, Sauteed Purblare Slices are a fine dining option sure to make you feel like royalty.

We had to put this one in! One of the most fun places in Brightvale is The Wheel of Knowledge! There are a wide array of prizes to win. Maybe you'll get a bag of neopoints? Or a cool little Brightvale doodad that'll be a fun keepsake to remember your trip in the future? Or maybe you'll hit the jackpot and earn a juicy bit of wisdom from the Wise Old King himself! Sounds fun, right?

This is one of the most fun Wheels you can spin! All neopets will love trying their luck at this. You'll never know what you might get until you try! So spin, spin spin! For just a small fee of 400 neopoints, this is totally worth it! That feeling of anticipation as it slows down, getting closer to your prize is just priceless and truly amazing. If you've never felt it, you've just gotta go here!

4. Brightvale Glaziers

If Brightvale is know for something, it's definitely their beautifully unique windows. The smith is always hammering away in his forge, making only the finest windows for your neohome. He puts love and effort into every piece, and the good craftsmanship shines through like the sun! You just have to buy one for your neohome. Not only are they a work of art, but when the sun hits the stained glass it sends rays of colorful light all over your home, filling it with colors and life. It'll jazz up your neohome in a matter of seconds, and it's great conversation starter.

This is a great way to spiff up your home! Instead of spending endless neopoints on new furniture and taking your precious time on painting the walls to make it nice, these windows are a quick and easy thing to put in your neohome. Very spiffy, yes? So why are you still staring at this? Go and stare at windows instead, and buy one for yourself!
