If you haven’t already started your Christmas shopping, now’s a great time to get cracking. Wilko has just launched its October Toy Event, offering up to 30% over 1,600 products across ranges including Lego, role-play, musical toys, pre-school, and more.
Anyone who loves a Lego fan knows those delightful little bricks rarely come cheap, but you can certainly cushion the blow with up to 25% off LEGO products at Wilko. For example: the Lego Avengers Tower is down at £440 from £489, featuring 5,201 pieces that will keep the kids entertained for weeks. That’s just one example, with dozens more to choose from across Star Wars, Harry Potter and Marvel sets.
It’s not just Lego where you’ll find the savings, with up to 30% off all toys. Budding chefs will love this Liberty House Toys Kitchen for £65, down from £83, which comes in a bright green colour with a cute retro feel to it. In fact, there’s a lot for budding chefs to like from Wilko’s toy offerings – the Costway Wooden Pretend Kitchen Playset is currently reduced from £89 down to £80, and promises hours of innocent fun, as does this extensive Living and Home Play Kitchen Set (£35, down from £39).
If you have a younger child who’s still finding their feet, the Bigjigs Toys Wooden Shopping Trolley Red for £62 is great fun, and you can claim 35% off with the code TAKE35. Alternatively, the Marvellous Mud Kitchen Playhouse (£62, down from £80) is set to be a surefire hit – the only problem would be tempting your kids back inside once they’ve started playing with it. Or if your kid’s due their first dressing table, this stool, table and mirror set for £49, down from £58, is sure to put a smile on their face.

Wilko has a strong reputation, with a 3.6/5 average rating from over 77,000 TrustPilot reviews, with one customer praising the “great value for money” on offer. Another five-star review said: “Easy to use site & easy to order. Speedy delivery and well packaged, absolutely no chance of any damage in transit. Products exactly as advertised, in fact, even better than expected. Would recommend, give them a try.”
“I just wanted to say I am very satisfied with the products,” raved another review awarding top marks. “Happy children, happy mothers. Very good quality, exactly as described, really impressed. Worth the money. Fast delivery and friendly staff. Thank you again.”
Some have unfortunately reported some delivery issues. “The advisors are helpful and do what they can but the whole process is so slow, referring off to suppliers and sometimes waiting days for a response.” However, another person said: “Delivery was early. The delivery team contacted me to let me know when they would be able to deliver my items. On arrival they again contacted me. The lads where polite helpful and removed their shoes to prevent mud on carpets. Can’t fault them and would definitely use your company again.”
