A little-known deal can save parents a decent chunk of money on the popular toy
It’s hard to be a parent these days without being familiar with the sound of Ms Rachel. The hugely popular Youtuber has become famous for her educational music and videos focused on developing key skills for youngsters, like speech and language.
The well-known playtime pal is also available in Tonie form. For anyone unfamiliar with Tonies, they’re little characters that sit on top of a Toniebox and play the likes of music and stories. But the Tonies don’t come cheap, with the likes of Ms Rachel priced at £15 at Argos.
But, being a parent myself, I’m always on the hunt for little money-saving wins, which is why I know about a way to pick one up for free. It comes via the money-saving website TopCashback where new members who register here benefit from a £15 cashback bonus when they spend £15 at a participating retailer.
That means that for new TopCashback members and both new and returning Argos customers, the Ms Rachel Tonie works out free after cashback. The Tonie has a 53 minute runtime and features songs and speech development.
The reviews have been very positive too. One said: “My 16 month old will only play this Tonie even though she has quite a few. She even gives miss Rachel a kiss when it’s time to stop it. She’s learned a lot of new words from it as well.”

Another went on: “I bought this a while ago for my son, his little face lights up every time he hears her.” A third added: “One of the best Tonies so far, my boy loves dancing around to Ms Rachel. Packed with songs.”
While a further buyer continued: “My 1.5 year old absolutely loves this Tonie. Within a week he learned the phonics and counting and he loves to sing along to all the songs.”
Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, there were a couple of drawbacks flagged, including one customer who said: “My daughter loves the Ms Rachel Tonie, however, is it supposed to be magnetic? She’s just one and the Tonie is on its side a lot and the characters stay on apart from Ms Rachel.”
Another said they found their daughter simply didn’t like the character.
There are other options out there besides the Toniebox, including the YOTO Mini, a screen-free Bluetooth audio player that plays stories and music. It’s priced at £59.99 on Amazon and works with physical cards that ‘lets kids explore their imaginations as they explore the world’.
Meanwhile for a more visual toy, the Clementoni Disney Storytime Projector with Narration features eight story cards and is designed to keep toddlers entertained. That’s priced at £31.75 on Amazon and £31.99 at Smyths Toys.
