I've been following Tonies closely over the past couple of years, and the impressive rise in popularity among kids and parents alike of the Toniebox player. A few of my parent-friends rave about this being their saviour at bedtime and it also helps to reduce screen time, so I know if I'm going to snap up a Christmas Tonie gift, Black Friday 2024 is the time to do it. I've got my eye on these Toniebox bundles that have gone live on Amazon's Black Friday sale, don't judge me when I say I'm running to drop these in my basket.

Are Toniebox and Tonies Worth The Cost?
Rhiannon Evans, senior editor and mum of two gives her honest verdict:
The Toniebox is a robust music and story box (mine have been thrown around the room and into various car boots many times). The square Toniebox is an audio player that's really easy to operate for tiny hands, too. There are over 200 Tonies available to buy, which are really cute characters that the child then places on top of the Toniebox to start playing that particular story (musical Tonies are also available).
There are SO many options when it comes to Tonies and my son is now so obsessed that whenever he falls in love with a new book, film or TV show, straight away he asks me to see if it also exists in Tonie form.
There are nursery faves (songs and stories), Disney hits (which both tell stories and play songs), classic storytime tales, educational titles and more. The brand has just launched its new advent calendar Tonie - an adorable reindeer who will upload a new story via your WiFi every day - and there's a podcast Tonie, too.
