Kids are fascinated and intrigued by them. Parents, not so much. So to strike a balance this Christmas, why not get them the things they want, and then send it back once they're over it!
Subscribe to a plan and get Whirli tokens to spend on toys from our huge library. There are over 1000 toys to choose from, including the latest must-haves.
This is the fun part - the toys are yours to play with for as long as you want. No time limits, no penalties. Simply keep toys as long as they are still being loved at home.
Do the toy swap
Send toys back to us and we'll credit your account with equivalent tokens, letting you swap for something else. You don't have to send everything back together, just the unloved toys.
Or keep them forever
Don't worry if your child has fallen in love with a toy, you can buy it from us for a less-than-retail price. Any toy you keep for 8 months is yours to keep forever. Try with Whirli and only keep what you love.

"I know it can only be good for my kids - and the planet they live on - to be aware that these borrowed items are destined for other children's bedrooms someday soon."
