About Whirli

Whirli discount codes and voucher codes are listed above. What follows: how the toy subscription works, whether it suits your household, and what a Whirli discount code covers.

About Whirli

Whirli is a British toy subscription. Instead of buying toys, you pay a monthly plan, choose from a large catalogue, keep the toys as long as they are being played with, then send them back and swap them for something else.
The idea answers a specific problem: small children lose interest in a toy within weeks, and the house fills with plastic that nobody wants and nobody can sell. Sending it back and getting something new is the whole point.

How the plan works

Each plan comes with an allowance measured in tokens, and every toy in the catalogue is worth a number of tokens. A bigger plan means more tokens in play at once, not more swaps.
Swapping is unlimited within the plan. Toys go back in the packaging they arrived in, and the next choice ships once the return is on its way. Anything a child refuses to give up can be kept permanently by using accumulated credit.

Whether it suits your house

It works best for babies and pre-school children, where the turnover of interest is fastest and the toys are bulky and expensive. It works least well for a child with one obsession, because paying monthly to hold the same toy is worse than buying it.
Do the arithmetic against what you actually spend on toys in a year, including birthdays and Christmas. For many households the plan replaces that spend; for others it sits on top of it, which is not a saving.
Toys are cleaned and checked between households, and normal play wear is expected rather than charged for — but check the terms on genuinely lost or broken pieces before starting, since that is where the surprises are.
Watch the swap timing. There is a gap between sending toys back and the next box arriving, so a swap sent the week before a holiday leaves an empty toy box for it.

Using a Whirli discount code

The code goes in at sign-up, before payment, and both the first month and the standard monthly price are shown. Check both. These appear as Whirli discount codes, voucher codes and promo codes.
Offers apply to new customers and to a first plan rather than to an existing subscription, and a free first delivery is a common form of them. The plan renews monthly until it is paused or cancelled.
