This is the one I get, my DS’s birthday is the 16th September so I always buy one

We had the bum or face book last year for my 6 year old, was a big hit!

These are great for on a plane

I've not much time to read so sorry if this duplicates something. Amazon haul have 30% off today. I expect it will be more in black friday, but worth a looks today of there is anything you are after as they also sell loads of brands you may not expect.

Yoto cards, lego, hot wheels, galt, ravensburg, clementoni, uno cards for example for kids. Wilton, PME, tala and chef aid for baking things and speedo, arena and tyr for swimming. We have 3 swimmers so just bought a supply of spare goggles and things. Also cricut supplies and crayola, staedler pens etc.

I've found before the branded stuff doesn't stay up there as long as others so if you want it it may be worth getting now. There is also 10% off if you spend over £50 so my lego mini figures were 2.50 or something, lego spider around £5 etc. But remember to compare prices as it isn't always cheaper.

Have ordered for a 4 yr old with a 6yr old big sister- should be good!

The junior one is on offer too

What do you all recommend for a child who is now ready to move on from the tonie box? But still likes audio stories.

Wondering if I can get in prime bargains!

Yoto 100% we moved from toniebox to Yoto last year. 7 year old dd absolutely loves it. Much more content for older children. We also listen to yoto daily every day which is already set up on the yoto.

Went to Aldi this morning and their wooden toy sale starts this Thursday.

I can’t attach photos of the items in the brochure as the photos are too big but there is a dolls house for £34.99 (cheaper than last year apparently) plus figures and furniture, kitchens, fridge, washing machine, plus kitchen accessories, food cart, cinema stand and market stall, aldi supermarket plus food bits, hobby horse with jump, medical/vet table, dolls accessories,mechanic car, vanity table, role play bag, hoover, piano/drum kit, castle/pirate ship, play sets, trike, racetrack, activity table, building blocks, drawing board, bookshelf etc.

On prime deals ive managed to get the vtech dj kids mixer thing for around £32 today which im over the moon with. Dd has played with her friends and love it. Ive been price watching it for about 6 weeks.

I am nowhere near caught up, but just incase, I got a mega bargain for DD who is desperate for the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle: The Main Tower - normally £229.99 , down to £142.99

Is it worth getting the yoto mini on prime or waiting for black Friday on the yoto site itself?

Thank you my sister will love this

Thanks for linking this, I couldn't work out how to do it without linking to my own account.

That's my issue too! Anyone got tips how to link NOT to your own account?

Ohh did you find a discount? we will need this soon

Someone in the last year threads posted a detailed list of the deals yoto have had the last few years. Might be worth searching for it to see if that helps you compare..I remember it being helpful.

If you do buy from yoto it's worth checking the referral thread as you get money off and start collecting points!

Or use mine 😁 and I get points too

For Amazon Haul, do you think it's worth ordering now or holding out till Black Friday? Need to order a lot of practical stocking fillers

Some v good deals on amazon today on books, pokemon, that type of thing.

Nanoleaf have some good deals on their own site and some are cheaper than the Amazon prime offers

I had an email from Waterstones this morning - buy one of their selected "biggest books", use the code BOOKFOR10and get a free £10 e-gift card. (Until midnight on Friday).

Luckily, I wanted one of the books, so a great deal! It's basically a selection of new titles, so could make good presents.

Also, had an email from Molton Brown. They have 20% off everything and free delivery in their Friends and Family event. They have also added £5 worth of points to my account.
Worth a look if you buy from there, but offer expires tonight.

It has been an expensive day for me today!

Is it worth buying the yoto player or should I hold out until Black Friday?

Looking for a deal on good quality bath towels. TKMaxx is probably my best bet. But in case someone has seen a deal.

It's for DExH - requested as the last ones I bought him are looking a bit threadbare last time I was there & it's a practical thing I can buy. I'll leave the cool/ exciting stuff to DS1 & 2 to buy!

@Mom2manykids I can't find the post now but I could swear someone last year said yoto do their own sale rather than get much involved with black Friday. So may be better off making the most of the autumn sale they're currently having

Plus if you use a referral code you get £10 off.

@MrsRL realised the code didn't link last time.

It's here

Have only had a brief look but I think the yoto website looks better than Amazon for deals atm.
