You can skip or cancel the subscription at any time.

Review: "I was gifted one of the 3 year old boxes on a rainy day when we were all wondering what to do next, so was an absolutely brilliant surprise! I have a soon to be 3 year old and a 5 year old, we received the analyst play kit. The sensory box was fantastic, they both played together so well with everything. The toys felt well made and sturdy and included things my 5 year old is learning about at school too so she loved 'teaching' my youngest through the toys provided!"

Little ones can enjoy a new book each month with this lovely gift idea. The books are handpicked and wrapped, so your little one will feel like it's Christmas or their birthday each month. Just choose how long you'd like the subscription to last.

One reviewer said: "Excellent idea and the surprise monthly will be lovely for my grandson. Yet to see quality of books and am happy from the description the titles will be good."

Designed for 0-8 years old, Whirli offers an eco-friendly way to enjoy Christmas this year with its subscription-based service that allows you to update your child’s toy box whenever you or they like. Meaning you never have to worry about them losing interest or wasting money on toys they won’t use after a few months, because they will always have something new!
There's the option to purchase as a gift card, or send a box of toys ready to get switching.
