The Best Ways to Celebrate the Month of Hunting!

     You may be asking yourself, “What’s the best way to celebrate the month of Hunting?” Well, fear not! We at The Neopian Times have compiled a list of the best ways you and your Neopets can spend the month of Hunting together!

     Spring Cleaning!

     It is a long-standing tradition in Neopia to spend this time of the year doing some cleaning! Elsewhere referred to as “spring cleaning,” don’t be surprised if you hear your Neopian friends talking about “Hunting cleaning!” Have you been feeling like you’re dragging too many items with you all around Neopia? Many Neopians use this time to lighten the loads in their inventories. Have you been hoarding a little too much this past year, or even longer? This is the perfect opportunity to clear out your safety deposit box!

     Not only will you feel much more organized and put together, but you can make some extra Neopoints as well by selling off some of the older items you no longer need. And if you’re feeling generous, why not donate some of your extra items to the Money Tree? You can really brighten someone’s day by giving away some of the things you and your Neopets never use!

     How about a makeover?

     Another great way to celebrate this special time of year is to give your lifestyle a revamp! There are of course many ways to add some flair to your lifestyle: rearranging your neohome, adding a few items to your gallery, or even checking your Neopets into the Neolodge for a getaway! But by far the most popular way to bring some seasonal change into your lifestyle in Neopia is giving your Neopets a well-deserved makeover!

     Just as we are changing up our hairstyles and wardrobes to reflect the season, so too are our Neopets yearning for a change! If you’ve got some Neopoints burning a hole in your pockets, now might be the right time to invest in a paintbrush to give your Neopets a whole new look! Three colours are especially popular in the month of Hunting.

     1. The most popular of all is the woodland paintbrush! Some Neopets, like Cybunnies, Eyries, and Unis like to reflect the season’s blooms with their own beautiful floral adornments! Others like Boris, Chias, and Skeiths can blend into the forest surroundings to help them succeed in their Hunting games!

     2. Another beloved paintbrush is the faerie paintbrush! One of the most popular choices year-long and Neopia-wide, the faerie paint job is especially in vogue this time of year! Maybe you have your sights set on the elusive faerie Draik! Or maybe you prefer the more neutral and classic shades of the faerie Xweetok. The diverse beauty of the faerie colour is sure to please this month of Hunting!

     3. The final paintbrush to mention is another fan favourite: the baby paintbrush! Just as many animals have their litters this time of year, a lot of Neopians welcome new Neopets into their lives in the month of Hunting! Therefore, you can see a lot of young Neopets prancing around Neopia this month. Why not celebrate their youth by painting them baby? Who doesn’t love the big blue eyes of a baby Kau? And the baby Techo’s footy pyjamas? Adorable! You might have to be extra careful if you have a baby Pteri, though; they haven’t hatched yet!

     Two of the popular paintbrushes this month are sold in the Hidden Tower. Maybe they’ll see their sales jump this month! Not sure how to gain entry into the Hidden Tower? You may just have to ask around… It’s a bit of a secret, but there are some Neopians out there who know the trick to getting in!

     In any case, there’s no need to worry about following trends. Whichever colour you and your pets love is the one you should go for. But beware! After daydreaming about all the colour possibilities, you might start wishing for a fountain faerie quest—most paintbrushes don’t come cheap!

     If you’re not into the idea of painting your pets, not to worry! There are many other options available to you to give them a makeover! You can dress them up in a beautiful new outfit, redesign their pet page, or even play Fashion Fever with them to get the fashionista juices flowing!

     Recreate a Neopian meal offline!

     Did you know that it’s a major trend to recreate Neopian foods offline? That’s right! If you’ve ever come across something in Hubert’s Hotdogs or The Chocolate Factory and had your mouth water, you can take that inspiration into your kitchen at home and get to cooking! This is a great way to celebrate your love for Neopets while also sharing it with family or friends who may not be familiar with Neopian culture! And the choices are truly endless! Could you make a giant omelette at home? It doesn’t have to be of Tyrannian scale, but you can make one big enough for yourself and a friend to share! What kind of fruits would you use to recreate some Islandberry Ice Cream from Mystery Island? Maybe stay away from some of the recipes from Spooky Food, however. Slime sundae? No thanks! Some Spooky Gooplecream sounds nice, though! Just make sure you get some help from your parents if you need!

     And there you have it! These are some of the best ways to celebrate the month of Hunting with your friends and beloved Neopets! Whether you decide to do some spring cleaning, give your pets a makeover, or recreate a Neopian meal offline, we hope you have some fun during this special time of year! Happy month of Hunting!
