A toy story
Children go through toys at lightning speed, which can generate a lot of waste as a result. With sharing at the core of their values, Whirli is a subscription service that allows parents to order second hand toys for kids to play with, and then return once they are finished with them. You’re free to keep the playthings for as long as you want and anything kept for more than nine months becomes yours to keep. The genius solution works in favour of kids who always want something new to try and benefits parents too by reducing toy clutter – 77 per cent of British parents have admitted that toys are crowding their homes. Playing with Whirli means no more neglected games and jumble, providing a more affordable way of swapping, not shopping. Plans start at £9.99 a month.
