As a parent, I would wager that sleep and some time to yourself in the evenings is up there on a list of things for which you'd pay any sum of money. Well, for me, a Toniebox helped get me some of both - and for Black Friday 2024, there were massive discounts on a number of products.

Even though Black Friday 2024 has only just passed, there are currently loads of searches asking when Black Friday 2025 will be. Who can blame them, we all love a bargain and planning ahead. Black Friday 2025 will take place on the final Friday in November, so that means Black Friday 2025 falls on 28th November and will presumably end on 1st December (Cyber Monday).

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.

Which Is The Best Tonie For Kids?

In our house, we particularly love the Sleepy Sheep Night Light which operates as a nightlight independent of the Toniebox (he's also VERY robust, trust me!) but can be put onto the Toniebox to play 90 minutes of calming melodies.

Many parents love that it's screen-free and, for my family, the Toniebox has really helped with bedtimes. Our five-year-old loves his Toniebox, which he's had for years now - it helps active minds stay still and listen and also is a good way to bring the books-reading part of bedtime to an end, providing you with a helpful exit strategy, allowing independent sleep to begin. It's also portable, so is a guaranteed way to keep some consistency in your bedtime routine. 87% of Tonies' customers say the Toniebox helps make bedtime routines easier.

We've found it so helpful, we bought our daughter one for her second birthday this year.

A perfect Christmas present (the type that works for them and you), entering into the world of Tonies is also brilliant for when you get the eternal question from relatives: 'What shall I get them for Christmas?'

What Age Is Appropriate For A Toniebox?

Tonieboxes are designed for children aged three years and up, although I'd say that they can be used by younger children, too. My children have used them since around the age of a year and a half when they particularly enjoyed the musical Tonies and songs. Obviously, the older they get, the more engaged they will be with all the stories available.

What Is The Teacher Discount For Toniebox?

Teachers will be able to access at least a 25% discount on Tonie Starter Sets as part of its initiative to support education. To claim this discount, teachers need to sign up and verify their eligibility to receive a personalised discount code.

What Is The Point Of A Toniebox?

Designed to help fuel children's imaginations without involving a screen of any kind, Tonieboxes offer the chance for you to have hundreds of stories at your fingertips to keep your little one entertained. There are so many different characters to choose from, too, so your child will never get bored.

Can You Record Your Own Tonie?

Yes! How adorable. The creative Tonies allow you to record 90 minutes of your own content onto a Tonie, giving it the ultimate personal touch as a Christmas present. Imagine Nana reading a book every night... ok, dry your eyes now.

How Long Do Tonies Last?

In terms of battery life, the Toniebox is great - it can be used for around seven hours says the official website, but anecdotally, I've found it to be longer. Also, the charging pod is very easy to use, so if you have an older child who you trust, they can pop the Toniebox on the charging pad, and you can continue listening to stories. In terms of how long the box lasts in general, just take it on my authority that my boxes and characters have been put through the wringer (and more than once, even down the toilet) and are still going strong...

Is Tonie or Yoto Better?

It's a topic that a LOT of parenting discussion forums have been dedicated to. But honestly, it goes down to personal choice and in some ways, even though they're always compared and you'd be unlikely to have both, they're quite different toys. It's fair to say that the Yoto has some more features, but for us, the Toniebox's simplicity was key for younger children to understand and use. Tonies have also just brought out a podcast Tonie, which brings it more in line with some of the functions of the Yoto too. Read our Yoto Black Friday guide here.

What is the 100 day guarantee on Toniebox?

Is a Toniebox good for a 5 year old?
