For your child's birthday
If you create an account with The Entertainer* and register your child to The Entertainer Rewards (replacing 'Toybox Rewards'), for their birthday you’ll receive a code for 10% off your order (see help pages for more info).
Make sure to sign up at least three weeks before your child's birthday, as that's when the offer's first sent, or you won't receive the discount until the following year. The discount code is valid for 30 days from the date of issue.
For your child's birthday via VIP club
Sign up online at stationery and lifestyle brand Smiggle to join its VIP club and you could get a £5 off £20 spend for your child's birthday.
The offer's valid until the end of the birthday month, and you can only sign up one child per account. See FAQ for more information on how to get a birthday code, and full T&Cs.

And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
