BLACK FRIDAY TOP TIPS
Just over a week away for the main day but deals for Amazon in Australia start on the 19th November and the rest of the world on the 21st November.
Here’s my top tips for making the most out of Black Friday
âš«Make a list of exactly what you want. For example is the colour of a Toniebox or Yoto Adventure Jacket important to you? Is there a particular bundle deal that you are looking for?
âš«Put your list in order of priority now so that you’re not trying to decide under time pressure
âš«Set your budget. Decide how much you are happy to spend – 15% off exactly what you want is probably better than 20% off not quite what you wanted
âš«Get in early. Just because the offers are running until say the 2nd December doesn’t mean they will still be there. Deals are limited and items do go out of stock quickly so prepare and get in early

Historical Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals Information
Amazon Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sale
- Amazon usually have deals on both the Yoto Player and Toniebox. Bundles seems to have the highest percentage reduction in price. Amazon deals are limited and in previous years they have sold out quickly. Therefore, if you’ve decided you want to purchase a player from Amazon don’t hesitate! Often their deals are even better if you are an Amazon Prime customer. You can try Amazon Prime for free for 30 days here (UK) (US here) (worth looking at timescales if you are planning to make a purchase).
- Amazon have confirmed that Black Friday deals will run from the 19th November (for Australia) and 21st November (for UK/ US) until the 2nd December 2024. I’ll be sure to update as soon as offers become available.
Yoto Mini Player
- Historically, the Yoto Mini Player has not often been included in the Yoto promotions. It has only been the Yoto Player. However, over Amazon Prime Day we did see some Yoto Mini deals and I wonder if this is due to a couple of reasons.
- Previously, the Yoto Mini has gone out of stock swiftly and therefore deals on it have not been needed. There seems to have been no supply issues recently.
- Also, the Yoto Mini had a safety alert in 2024 for the 2021-23 players – you can find out more information here. The problem was fixed by obtaining a free replacement cable from Yoto. I wonder if this has affected sales at all and whether this is why we’re starting to see the Yoto Mini Player included in promotions…??
- Therefore, I feel with the Yoto Mini Player, we really will need to see what comes up on Black Friday.
Membership: Yoto Club Discount Stackability
- In the past, Yoto Club 10% discount has been stackable on other promotions available.
- However, the Yoto Club has been through a complete overhaul this year. You can find out all about it in this blog post.
- We’ll need to wait and see this year if the Yoto Club discount on the Explorer and Explorer Plus options works with other promotions on the Yoto site.
Yoto Card Deals
- Yoto cards don’t usually come on offer during Black Friday.
- There are usually multi-purchase discounts on cards in the January sales
Last Chance Yoto Cards
Throughout the year there are often Yoto cards on sale and other discount offers to entice. Click on the country below for ‘Last Chance’ discounted Yoto cards:

Toniebox Black Friday and Character Sales
UPDATE 19th November 2024. As I predicted Tonie characters are not in the Tonies official sale for Black Friday but Tonieboxes, Tonie bundles and accessories are on the Tonies UK website with 20% off starting on the 20th November until 3rd December. You can find full details here.
- Generally, Tonie Characters are not usually on sale for Black Friday. However, this company has a Black Friday sale on them and the boxes.
- Deals on Tonies are usually the Toniebox player itself and bundles where the Toniebox comes with a set selection of curated characters.
- Bundles are often the best value deals you’ll find for Tonies.
- Tonie characters often come on multiple buy offers in the January/ Boxing Day sales.
Tonie Character Sales
There’s often sales on Tonie characters that are being discontinued. You can find the latest sales using the links below for your country.

Audio Player Accessories
- There have been sales on accessories for both Yoto and Tonie in the past. Sometimes there’s a blanket offer over all accessories and sometimes it’s specific items.

Is Cost the Most Important Factor?
If cost is the most important factor for you when purchasing a Toniebox or Yoto Player or Mini then it’s worth considering two things. Firstly, is the initial ‘big player cost’ the most important or the ongoing costs of cards or characters?
If the initial player cost is important then Toniebox is priced in the middle of the two Yoto Player options. Toniebox usually have the best price reductions on boxes and bundles when deals are on. However, ongoing cost of Tonie characters is more than Yoto cards and there are more restrictions on free content options available.
If ongoing costs are more important then a Yoto is likely to be your best option. Yoto has the option to have podcasts which give you lots of free content and the cards are cheaper. They also have Yoto radio.
If you’re wanting an audio player for your child and cost is an incredibly important factor for you then the Yoto Mini is the cheapest of the players as well as having all the benefits mentioned above around podcasts, radio and cheaper cards.
Black Friday Top Tips
- Decide what player you want in advance?
- Plan your purchase. Have a list of what would be your ideal item/s to find on sale in order of priority.
- Consider how much are you happy to spend in advance.
- Are you looking for just a player or specific characters or cards? Know what bundles are available in advance.
