We have come across a sweet creation!!
This cool image from Japan Pez lip color!!
Surely not everyone will love or need them, but the design and idea is super nice, after the European and USA versions of the lip balm, now we can see from Japan a LIP Color line in a super wonderful PEZ Heart design.

Krissy our PEZ hearts variation Collector, was full in love after she saw
the new Lip Color. 

What about you? Is this something what you would like to add to your Collection????

With Paula & Alex at the 2nd PEZ Gathering in Barcelona...

Hi Pezpals, we are so happy to share with you a little summary from the

2nd Barcelona PEZ gathering,

which was written by our dear friends PAULA & ALEX

here we go:

 We landed at Barcelona early in the morning from our holiday, we are expecting to have an awesome day.

We have been waiting so much for this day to come so the jet lag was not going to be an obstacle to enjoy the gathering. 

The gathering was held on Saturday 1st October. It was the second edition of the Barcelona Gathering and the 2nd gathering this year in Spain.

2016 Barcelona *lovey" 100 pcs. made by PEZ Int.

The weather was really nice, it was a sunny day despite of the rain forecast.

The Gathering was located in the courtyard success from the beginning!

It was a new opportunity to meet new collectors and get

together with old friends.

Not only there were more attendees than last year but also they came from many different countries. 

After a short wait, the doors opened at 4pm and we all started preparing the tables to buy/sell/trade dispensers.

As always, we are so excited at the beginning watching the dispensers on the tables looking around to get the best deal and not miss out.

The event was already going on then, David began to give the

sets personally one by one.

Each set contained the official dispenser

made by Pez, a T shirt, a poster and two tickets for games/raffles.

The Barcelona dispenser 2016 is the well known emoji sitting

on a white stem and black letters.

We all knew before the Convention what the dispenser looked like but nevertheless we were equally excited to get it on our hands.

We had time to walk around to all the tables, chat with friends, share moments and also meet a lot of new members who give some advice and recommendations in this pezzing crazy world that they were getting into. 

By mid afternoon, all the games and raffles started. David and his family had prepared activities for attendees who had registered for the event.

David the Host with Pezpal Alex

The first game was guessing how many candy packs were in a bowl.

Frederika was the best at guessing and she really came close to the result, Christina remained second and third winner was one of the new collectors. 

The second game was so much fun. You had to prove your skills and fill the dispenser as quick as possible. Some of the collectors were really fast but Alex and I were a completely disaster. There were different rounds made down to 4 finalists from which came the winner that was Federika again.

It was without doubt, 

Frederika´s day. 

The last activities prepared were two raffles. All prizes went to the city of Valladolid.

Pilar and Hector were the lucky ones.

We got nothing on the raffles again :)

About 7:30, we began to pick everything up for dinner and went to a restaurant near to the event. A large table was prepared. There were talks and laughs with an excellent meal. Nothing better to end up a great day.

We want to thank David and his family for all the effort they put to organize this event one year more here in Barcelona and we hope that the coming years are equally successful.

 Gracias Paula and Alex for your support and your great report

muchos saludos <3

yellow and black and both of them have "SEIT 1898" (since 1898) printed on them.

We are excited to add these new balls to our Collection.

The 9th Swedish PEZ Gathering....

Sadly the 9th Swedish PEZ gathering is over, it was a full day with super great PEZ friends and a lot of PEZ fun, but PEZ time goes always to fast :)

later more on that....

Like always, I was super chaotic, started to pack my
extra PEZ for the gathering some hours before we left for our trip.
We had booked the hotel just one day before arriving in Stockholm.
I don't know how you manage that all, but my days are
always too short for everything :D

 

All went fine, and my wife and I arrived Friday in the morning in Stockholm.
We had a Hotel in the heart of Stockholm, lots of good Shops, and nice bars were around our Hotel.

The funny thing, we got our Room over a Candy Shop :D
and this was the first place where I have found PEZ later that day.

After a perfect breakfast, we started our Stockholm
(the capitol of Sweden) tour.
Stockholm is spread across 14 Islands, and I need to say this is a super cool City, lot of beautiful places, very nice old buildings, and many Museums to visit.

 

Sweden is very successful in music.
Lots of great songwriters and good musicians come from Sweden.
Sweden has won 6 times the European Song Contest, and
Roxette, ABBA ruled the world with their music.
 

We decided to visit the
ABBA Museum.
It was a very nice and fun Museum, you are involved to do a
ABBA Karaoke, to make a funny ABBA Video, and lot of other things.
The Museum has also lot of ABBA original Costumes, Prizes, Letters, and Tourmerchandies, and its not just interested for ABBA Fans.

The place around the ABBA museum is great to visit too,

the Vasa Museum (Vasa the world's only preserved 17th century ship)
a Zoo and a nice amusement park are just located next to the ABBA museum.

After a full walking day, we enjoyed our dinner, and a nice
sauna evening at our Hotel.

Saturday the big Gathering day... 
 

We arrived at 9:30 am at the gathering, and were warm welcomed
from every site. It's always so nice and fine to meet and see our friends again, and to make new friendships.

Patrik and Anders did a good job,
to bring us all together, and to organize a nice small and familiar gathering.

After our PEZ talks, we started to fill our selling tables and the table for all my extra PEZ was mostly full :) 

As we worked on our table, Patrik brought us our goddiebag, full of nice PEZi stuff, and YES the SWE "lovey" dispenser was included.

Patrik and Anders kept the secret, how the dispenser (stem) will look like
till the end, and wanted to share the surprise with all the gathering guests. 
 

 

The day went super fast, a fun quiz, Bingo, buying, trading, PEZ talks, and the traditional great Swedish gathering cake filled the day.

All in one a super nice and perfect PEZ day in Sweden, got many cool and new pieces for my Collection and can't wait to return next year to celebrate with all my PEZ friends the 10th anniversary for the Swedish PEZ gathering. 

Thanks again Patrik and Anders for a lovely PEZ gathering.

The 9th Swedish PEZ Gathering

It has been 4 years since the last time I was at the Swedish PEZ Gathering, finally we arrived in Stockholm and I'm counting the hours for the 9th Swedish PEZ gathering.

PEZ gatherings/conventions are for me the best place to find great PEZ items, I love to rummage through all the tables with lots of nice PEZ stuff, love to meet new Collectors and to hug my PEZ friends, and yes it is a place where people understand me.

Like every Host in the PEZ world, Patrik and Anders spend a lot of time to prepare a nice event, and to bring all of us all together.

For more then 10 months they keep secret about the Swedish PEZ gathering dispenser, another "lovey" made by PEZ International, but this Saturday we will see it. It will be the last "lovey" for this year, Uwe's dispenser will follow in August 2017. 

Now we will tour the beautiful Stockholm, and to walk to all the historical places. 

And the Lovey is... 

The 2016 SPG official gathering Pez :) 

Crystal "Lovey" with yellow stem

Stay tuned, we will share lots of pictures and news around the gathering.

New Dunkin Donuts Pez Rigs

Dunkin Donuts

2 more new Rigs will be added to the 2016 lineup. The new Dunkin Donuts rigs will be available in fall of 2016 in select locations.  The new rigs were discovered on display in the Pez visitor's center in the Orange, Connecticut earlier this week.  The new rigs are the first to ever be made for Dunkin Donuts by Pez. 

 We are hoping because there are many stores across the country the new rigs will be easier to find, fingers crossed.  While there are no stores here in Oregon,  a lot of states still do have the stores.  

To try and help other collections please send us an email when you have found the new rigs with the location so we can share the news.  Happy Pezzing :)
