Tonie Box? Are they worth it?

I’m currently looking at ideas for Christmas presents. Has anyone got a tonie box for their child and are they worth getting?
It’s an expensive gift to go to waste.

My daughter loves hers, we have some of her favourite character’s and then some educational ones and then ones we also use before bed which helps a lot

We got my daughter the second one for Xmas. I got it off the tonie site and had a couple discount codes for it. Think they had 10% off first order then looked online for more discount codes. My niece has one and my daughter loves it. The second one you can get a game thing for it which I think ill get when shes 3 x

We love ours. Be aware that for some of the Disney ones, the songs aren’t sung by the characters and therefore sound different. I would recommend checking the tonie app/website for the ones you’re interested in, as it will give you a track list and total running time. Some are rip off and run for 20 mins and some are a couple of hours!
The Julia Donaldson ones are lovely, but some are very short.
We have mog and spot the dog, both of which are just stories but have good long run times.
We also have the creative one where you can add your own content, and we’ve recorded us reading her favourite books, plus there’s free content to download on the app too.

We don’t use ours for bedtime but I know a lot of people do, and there’s even an advent calendar tonie where there’s a short story for every day in dec (but I think my LG is still slightly too young to get that concept).

100% recommend, you can get second hand tonies on vinted, loads websites do them and always somewhere on offer. My son loves his and is happy with just that in background so doesnt tv whoch i am happy about too x

Look at Yoto v Toni comparison reviews. I like the Tony because of the characters but ultimately went for a Yoto that has a longer lifespan. As in they can use it at teenage years. It has more features plus it's cheaper

Absolutely!! I got ours in the Xmas sale last year and gave it to him for his second birthday and we have used it every day without fail. He absolutely loves it and uses it on his own and falls asleep to a Tonie he chooses each night before bed

Absolutely! We keep ours on the kitchen table and he choses a tonies to listen to with every meal x

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

Spicy chat

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Why is it so hard it to make friends?!

Panic attacks and anxiety attacks are so horrible!

I’m in Woodstock, Georgia and so hard to connect and find friends a just enjoy the park with and motherhood.
