Last week, when we debuted your new profile design, you may have noticed a new section called “Badges” nestled beneath the “About Me” section on your profile. This section is dedicated to our brand new and fabulous badges feature, which rewards you for adding awesome products to Kaboodle.

If you’ve been regularly adding products from a variety of sites since we launched our badge program last week, you may have already “bagged” a badge or two, like these featured below.

While exactly how to get each badge is a fun mystery to be solved by you, we did want to take a moment to explain our latest program, and, what it means to “bag a badge” on Kaboodle. So, here goes!

How do I “bag a badge?”
Currently, the best way to bag a badge is by adding awesome products from retailer sites all over the Web to any of your Kaboodle lists. Basically, the more products you add from a wide variety of sites, the more likely you are to “bag a badge!” In other words, use that "Add to Kaboodle" button with abandon! (Need help using the Add to K button? Check out our blogpost!)

Is there a limit to how often I can bag a badge?
Heck no! There’s no limit to the number of badges you can bag in one day! And, to keep things interesting, we’ll continue to introduce new badges to the mix, so you never know what new badge you may discover the next time you add a product to Kaboodle!

So, where can I find a list of all the badges I can bag?
Right now, you can’t! We want to make sure that when you bag a badge, it’s (sort of) a surprise. So by keeping the full list of badges under wraps, we know that when you do bag a badge, you’re going to be excited by your kudos, and, hopefully will want to share it. If everything was out in the open, the hunt wouldn’t be half as fun!

We hope these tips help you have more fun bagging badges!

Remember: the more products you add from the more sites you visit, the more likely you are to “bag a badge!”

Good luck, and Happy Kaboodling!

I am determined to get more badges! So fun! Report Spam Posted by mamor at 6:58 PM on 10/04/10
OKay...I am WAY too obsessed....it's the way I get doing logic puzzles...AAAAAAH help me stop!!! Report Spam Posted by paws72 at 7:00 PM on 10/04/10
I think you can't get that cute little wagon if you've been using the new button regularly for some time. OH WELL...but it's soooo cute! Report Spam Posted by paws72 at 7:01 PM on 10/04/10
I haven't got any yet but I plan to get as many as possible:) Report Spam Posted by naominh at 7:08 PM on 10/04/10
have read the blog and directions about how to add the K button,but alas it just sends msg saying "oops! can't add item".....have tried adding items from a variety of sites and get same msg....sigh....using FF Mozilla...... Report Spam Posted by artisangoods at 7:16 PM on 10/04/10

i'm still trying to get my first badge. it says to use my add to kaboodle button. i've added items with it yesterday and today, but no badge. do i need to add x items before i get my first badge? Report Spam Posted by janecool at 7:50 PM on 10/04/10
Fun! Report Spam Posted by vntgbabe at 8:01 PM on 10/04/10
I think I have EIGHT badges.....hahaha ......woohoo....I told you I was obsessed. Well,I do have ideas for badges, but if I gave you the ideas that would sort of ruin my fun wouldn't it???? I'm just wondering how many are already out there. Report Spam Posted by paws72 at 8:28 PM on 10/04/10
Nope....I have NINE...NINE...NINE little badges (as the count on Sesame street would say...and I WOULD have the wagon, please let me know if it is POSSIBLE....because I think it is not and you don't want me staying up sixty four hours trying to bag it, right??? I mean I DO have a family. No, seriously I like the idea of badges...I really hope you can help @artisangoods and @janecool with their problems so they can enjoy it too.

yayyy this sounds like so much fun! =D Report Spam Posted by stelllar at 9:00 PM on 10/04/10
still trying... lol.. i think all my interesting finds have already been found... :-) Report Spam Posted by mollyjotx at 9:04 PM on 10/04/10
@artisangoods send me and @triplyksis a message letting me know what sites you're trying to add from when you're seeing this message and hopefully we can help you resolve the problem! Report Spam Posted by ilovejeans at 9:46 PM on 10/04/10
@janecool & @mollyjotx Try adding from a few different (but similar) stores... I'll give you a hint... for the Imelda Marcos badge, think about stores that sell shoes. And try adding a few shoes from a few different shoe stores! :) Catch my drift? You can do it! :) Report Spam Posted by ilovejeans at 9:49 PM on 10/04/10
@paws72 I saw!! Nicely done :) Report Spam Posted by ilovejeans at 9:50 PM on 10/04/10
Oh and @paws72 no, you can't bag the wagon. But there are other badges you haven't bagged yet :) Report Spam Posted by ilovejeans at 10:10 PM on 10/04/10
Thanks for the article Melissa! Maybe in a few days I can "Add To Kaboodle" to my hearts content and bag some badges! Figures now would be the time I can't devote hours daily to Kaboodle product hunting. Report Spam Posted by kshoffman at 2:45 AM on 10/05/10
Thank you very much for sharing and this sounds like a wonderful idea. Love, Linda Report Spam Posted by hawklns1 at 9:04 AM on 10/05/10
Got my first badge yesterday! Report Spam Posted by katieheartsnyc at 1:24 PM on 10/05/10
I can't wait to get my first badge. Is that sad?! Report Spam Posted by x0xsharicex0x at 3:48 PM on 10/05/10
Totally not sad, @x0xsharicex0x ! That's what we like to hear! :) Report Spam Posted by ilovejeans at 3:59 PM on 10/05/10
I finally bagged the Imelda Marcos badge and was SO excited! Next, I think I'm aiming for either the Homie badge or the Luxe Lovers badge I've seen on other's profiles. The hunt is on!! Report Spam Posted by sasha_d at 6:38 PM on 10/05/10
I've got one bad, can't wait to get more! Report Spam Posted by thelovehammers at 6:52 PM on 10/05/10
Badges seem like a cool reward, but I'm not one to work to get something without having any idea how to get there. The whole mystery thing is a huge turn off for me. Report Spam Posted by ellesbeads (elles-beads.com) at 9:33 AM on 10/06/10
@ellesbeads Not too much of a mystery-- add products from your favorite sites and you'll bag badges :) As more and more people unearth the badges (just like @sasha_d hinted at) you'll see that they're fairly thematic. If you keep with adding products that are in line with the badges themes, you'll "bag" them all in no time! :) Report Spam Posted by ilovejeans at 5:38 PM on 10/06/10
I just started with Kaboodle and fairly quickly got a welcome wagon badge (or was it because I was the first person to add a certain item?) Report Spam Posted by jflinton at 12:56 PM on 10/07/10
Love these cute little badges! Very fun. I'm still mulling the new about me space and what to put there. Report Spam Posted by lavabunny at 10:32 AM on 10/08/10
@ilovejeans That's kind of what I was talking about. I don't see the point in trying to uncover what specific themes are - I prefer to know what is required to receive something. The badges just aren't designed for someone like me. Just my opinion! Report Spam Posted by ellesbeads (elles-beads.com) at 10:15 AM on 10/10/10
Dumb. seriously dumb. I use this site to keep track of things that my family expresses an interest in so we can have them easily accessible. I'm not in it for some inane contest. Can we opt out? Report Spam Posted by lotsofjoy at 6:36 PM on 10/29/10
too fun! Report Spam Posted by vhamel7401 at 6:43 PM on 10/29/10
Kaboodle rocks! Report Spam Posted by huella_huella at 7:40 PM on 10/29/10
@lotsofjoy Sorry you feel that way-- badges aren't a contest, but you can certainly opt out of the notifications! To do this, all you need to do is go to your Account Settings page ( http://www.kaboodle.com/za/account-settings ) and then click on Email ( http://www.kaboodle.com/za/account-settings/email ) -- scroll down to "Badge" and you will no longer receive notifications for any badges you bag whilst you Kaboodle.Would love to know what features you would love to see though on the site to make your Kaboodling better :) Please do let us know-- we'd love to hear!-Melissa Report Spam Posted by ilovejeans at 7:49 PM on 10/29/10
What an interesting little case study in social psychology. It's intriguing to see people clamour for something that has no intrinsic value and serves no discernible purpose as far as the badge-earner is concerned. I see what Kaboodle is going for in setting up this sort of token economy, where badges serve as the reward for continued and/or increased site usage, but I do find it pointless (and a bit juvenile), and I agree that there ought to be an opt-out feature for those of us who use Kaboodle as a sort of organizational tool rather than a social media network.
