FAQs
A Whirli subscription gives you a token allowance, and you can order any of our toys, so long as the Whirli toys in your home are within your allowance.
Once you have spent your token allowance you can order something else by returning your unwanted toys. We’ll give you back these tokens so you can spend them on something else. We call this a ‘swap’.

When you sign up to Whirli, you can choose between 4 plans, which come with a token allowance:
You use these tokens to order toys. Our toys are priced in tokens, where 1 Whirli token is equivalent to around £1 RRP, so a toy worth £20 brand new would be priced at 20 Whirli tokens.
For example, 80 tokens is equivalent to around £80 RRP worth of toys.
| Small toy box | 80 Token |
| Medium toy box | 120 Token |
| Large toy box | 160 Token |
| X-Large toy box | 240 Token |

Our tokens are great value. For example, 80 tokens allows you to order toys worth around £80 RRP at any one time. You can swap these toys at any time, meaning the value of the toys you are playing with quickly adds up. Plus it’s much better for our planet too.
