BOXING DAY/ JANUARY SALE TOP TIPS
Planning is key to purchasing in the sales to make sure that you are getting a good deal on something you actually want and not just being tempted by an offer.
Here’s my top tips for making the most out of Boxing Day/ January Sales
âš«Make a list of exactly what you want. For example is the colour of a Toniebox or Yoto Adventure Jacket important to you? What Tonie Characters or Yoto Cards are on your wish list? 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. Sales can go out of stock swiftly so being decisive will work in your favour.
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. Boxing Day and January sales are often a little different to other sales. Black Friday and Cyber Monday had a definitive end date. With Boxing Day and January sales these can have end dates but can also be a ‘while stocks last’ type sale.

Deal Prediction Information
Yoto Mini Player
Historically, the Yoto Mini Player has not often been included in the Yoto promotions. However, as I predicted in Autumn 2024, we did see the Yoto Mini go on a 20% off promotion for Black Friday. The Yoto Mini did go out of stock before the promotion ended in Australia. You can find Yoto deals and discount codes here.
Yoto Gen 3 Player
In the Black Friday sales the Yoto Players had between 20% and 22% discount depending upon the region. It went out of stock in the UK (due back in 12th December 2024 – you can sign up to be notified when here).
Membership: Yoto Club Discount Stackability
- During Black Friday the Yoto Club discount available on collector memberships (10% off) was stackable with Black Friday deals. Therefore, it’s worth signing up to the club first before making any other purchases. It seems likely that the club will continue to be stackable in the Boxing Day and January sales but we’ll have to wait and see.
- You can find out all about the club and the different options in this blog post.
Yoto Card Deals
- Boxing Day and January sales have often had offers on cards. 6 cards for the price of 5 has been a popular one. In the most recent Black Friday deals there was a threshold tier system where you got a certain percentage off card purchases when you spent certain amounts with a limit of 20% off. Club card members got a maximum 20% off cards for any amount purchased. I wonder what we’ll see for the 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 Boxing Day and January Sales
Tonies ran a very different sale in different regions this year. In America there was 25% off sitewide whereas in the UK it was 20% off boxes, bundles and accessories. In the EU there was extra discounts off accessories.
- Tonie Characters are usually on sale after Christmas. There have been 4 for the price of 3 and 5 for the price of 4 deals in the past. It wouldn’t be surprising to see multiple purchase deals come up.
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 nearly always 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.
