“This one is definitely great for the length of the story, one of the longest Tonie characters. Really lovely story and very calming for bedtime”
Parents are being made aware of an eye-catching deal that means they can essentially snap up a Toniebox character for free. The likes of the Paddington Audio Tonie Character usually costs £15 at Argos, but a little-known deal can present a big saving.
It comes via the money-saving website TopCashback, where new members who sign-up here benefit from a £15 cashback sign-up bonus when they spend £15 at a participating retailer. This means that new members of TopCashback and both new and existing Argos customers get it for free after cashback.
The hand painted character’s run time is approximately 155 minutes and features a series of stories narrated by Stephen Fry. Buyers who’ve made the purchase to date have been largely very happy, including one who said: “Lovely gift we received. Paddington is a lovely story and ties in well with the TV show. The narrator has a lovely calming voice, so I recommend this one for bedtime.”
Another wrote: “My 1-year-old loves this one. It’s one of his favourites. The content is very long and there are little jingles in between chapters he likes.” A third added: “Bought as a birthday gift and made a three-year-old girl very happy!”
Meanwhile a different reviewer shared: “This one is definitely great for the length of the story, one of the longest Tonie characters. Really lovely story and very calming for bedtime. Can’t beat Stephen Fry narrating!”

Despite the majority of the feedback being positive, there were a small number of drawbacks flagged, including one buyer who explained: “I think this is great but I think a little too old for my son who is 3, he’s not into the plodding story. But I think he will as he gets older.”
Another had similar thoughts: “Bought as a present for my 2-year-old, story is lovely but she’s a bit young but sure she’ll love it as she gets older.”
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’.
