If you’re ticking off Christmas shopping, I’ve found the best Black Friday deal on the much-loved Toniebox.
This clever little audio player is adored by children of all ages, from babies discovering nursery rhymes to older children enjoying independent listening. It’s screen-free, simple enough for toddlers to use on their own, and comes with adorable character figures, known as Tonies, that bring stories and music to life. It’s no wonder it’s an IndyBest favourite, appearing in nearly every age-based gift guide for children and often topping the list.
As a parent to a three-year-old myself, I can vouch for how loved this tiny box is. My daughter got her Toniebox for her first birthday and still uses it every day. It’s perfect for bedtime wind-downs, quiet play, or keeping her entertained on long car journeys. For Black Friday, Tonies is offering 20 per cent off everything, plus a free gift on orders over £20. Keep reading for my top picks.
The Toniebox 2 is designed for younger children and adds smart bedtime and wake-up features, a dynamic rainbow light ring, and compatibility with interactive Tonieplay games, while still working with all existing Tonie figures.
Parenting writer Katie Byrne chose the Toniebox 2 as her best gift for babies. She wrote, “New for 2025, the Toniebox 2 feels like the ultimate blend of fun and function for babies, encouraging them from an early age to enjoy listening to stories, as well as providing soothing comfort at bedtime.” She added that it’s a gift that’s “built to last” and will “help keep your baby entertained well into their childhood.”
With these Black Friday savings, it’s the perfect time to pick up a Toniebox for little ones, combining educational fun with hours of safe, independent entertainment.
