Where you can find the best Christmas toy sales, from Argos to B&M and more

Here’s where Santa should go for his last-minute gifts

Tackle your Christmas shopping list and save with these toy sales (iStock)

With Christmas almost here, we’re all scrambling to tick off those final items from our shopping lists. But the festive season can be expensive, especially for parents, so any deals on toys and gifts ahead of the big day are welcome. With this in mind, I’ve rounded up the best Christmas toy sales you can shop right now.

When it comes to saving on Christmas presents, personal finance expert Lynn Beattie, also known as Mrs Mummypenny, says to shop smart. “One of the best ways to cut down on Christmas expenses is by redeeming loyalty points or reward vouchers using schemes such as Tesco Clubcard, Boots Advantage Card or H&M Loyalty. These rewards can add up to a significant bonus for Christmas shopping, taking the edge off this expensive season.”

I would second this, and add that you can make your money go further during these sales by utilising cashback sites such as TopCashback and Quidco when you shop online. By shopping through these sites, you’ll earn a percentage of your spending back as cashback. Personally, I have the TopCashback extension added to my browser, so when I’m on a participating retailer’s website, all I need to do is click the pop-up to earn my bonus.

In the meantime, keep scrolling for all the best Christmas toy sales available this month.
