🎄 SAVE THIS if you’ve got Christmas presents to buy! 📌 

I know it’s only August… BUT hear me out. 😂

I’ll be on maternity pay by Christmas, so this year I’m determined not to leave everything until November/December and suddenly wonder where all my money has gone. 😅

Instead, I’m buying little and often and keeping an eye out for the big toy sales as they start appearing. 🎁

So I’ve put together this 2026 Christmas Toy Bargain Calendar with the predicted dates for some of the biggest toy sales — based on when they’ve happened in previous years. 👀

⚠️ These aren’t confirmed dates, so they could change — but they’re definitely ones to have on your radar!

📌 SAVE this post so you can check back

👯 SEND it to someone who always leaves Christmas shopping until December 😂

❤️ FOLLOW Mum’s Bits & Bobs because I’ll be sharing the best toy bargains I find as we get closer to Christmas!

Who’s already started Christmas shopping? 👀🎄
