Argos has also reduced the price of gifts that appear on DreamToys’ top Christmas presents for 2019 list – including Rimzo and Blume Dolls.
The sale is available both online and in stores now but parents might want to be quick, as we expect the best bargains to fly off shelves.
If you’re ordering online, keep in mind delivery charges start from £3.95 – so make sure you factor that into your shop.
Alternatively, you can click and collect for free if there’s an Argos store near you.
Argos has 883 shops in the UK and you can find your nearest branch by viewing its online store finder tool.
As always, we’d recommend comparing prices online before handing over any cash to make sure you’re getting the best value for money.
