The best Blessed Friday toy deals are the ones you planned for: a short list of gifts you already need, a budget, and a price you checked before the sale started. Blessed Friday falls on Friday 27 November 2026, the same day as Black Friday in other countries, and it lands just before a busy run of UAE gifting: National Day on 2 and 3 December, the school winter break from 14 December, then Christmas and New Year. Below is a simple plan to shop smart, plus 12 toys worth putting on your list.
All prices below are the price at time of writing (October 2026), in AED. Blessed Friday prices will be on each product page on the day. Toy Souk’s Blessed Friday offers run from Saturday 14 November to Sunday 29 November 2026, peaking on Blessed Friday itself, and you’ll find them all on our Blessed Friday page.
When is Blessed Friday 2026 in the UAE?
Blessed Friday is on Friday 27 November 2026. Many UAE retailers start their offers a few days earlier and keep them going over the weekend, so the “day” often becomes a week of offers.
The timing is useful for families. Within five weeks of Blessed Friday most UAE households have National Day celebrations, a three-week school winter break and, for many, Christmas and New Year gifts to buy. If you shop with those dates in mind, one well-planned order can cover several occasions.
How to plan your Blessed Friday toy deals list
A list stops you buying something just because it’s on offer, and it makes Blessed Friday toy deals far easier to judge. It takes ten minutes.
- Write down every gift you need until January. Your own children, nieces and nephews, birthday parties your children are invited to, teachers, and any family gatherings over National Day and winter break.
- Add an age and a budget to each name. A budget per gift keeps the total under control.
- Pick one or two ideas per child now. Check the age on the product page, and note the price you see today.
- Keep a few “spare” gifts. Birthday invitations keep arriving through December. Two or three wrapped gifts in a cupboard save a last-minute dash.
- Decide what you’ll do if it sells out. Have a second choice for your top gifts.
Not sure what suits a child you don’t know well? Ask Buddy the Bear, Toy Souk’s AI gift advisor, for ideas by age, interests and budget. For a quick age-by-age overview, see our guide to the best toys by age.
How to spot a real deal
The best protection when comparing Blessed Friday toy deals is knowing the normal price before the sale. In Dubai, retailers are expected to show the price before and after a discount, along with the percentage reduction, as the Dubai consumer protection department reminded parents in this Khaleej Times report. A few simple checks help:
- Screenshot today’s price. On the day, compare it with the sale price.
- Look at the age, not just the price. A toy that is too advanced, or too young, isn’t a bargain.
- Check what’s in the box. Some sets need batteries, a trampoline or an app. The product page lists what’s included.
- Check delivery timing if the gift is for a specific date, such as a birthday party or National Day.
- Know the return rules before you buy, especially for gifts you’ll wrap and hand over later.
At Toy Souk, every listing has its price checked against the market before it goes live, so the price you see is a fair starting point all year, not only on Blessed Friday.
12 toys to watch this Blessed Friday
These are bigger “main gifts” and family favourites that are worth comparing when the Blessed Friday toy deals go live. Prices are at time of writing, and some are already on sale today.
Big gifts for the whole family
LEGO City 60198 Cargo Train (AED 1,144)
The LEGO City 60198 Cargo Train is a battery-powered train with a 10-speed Bluetooth remote control. The set includes 16 curved rails, 16 straight rails, a railroad switch, a control centre, an armoured truck, a forklift and 6 minifigures. It’s for ages 6 and up, and a big “main gift” to share between siblings over winter break.
TekyGo! Trampoline Bundle with Plus Portal and Sensor (AED 951.43)
The TekyGo! Trampoline Bundle turns bouncing into an interactive game: children play motion-based learning games as they jump. It’s designed for ages 2 and up and suits indoor play. Wi-Fi is needed for the first setup and new game downloads, and the product page notes that the Squeezies and mobile app aren’t currently available in the GCC.
PlanToys Parking Garage (AED 511.75)
The PlanToys Parking Garage is a three-floor wooden play set with a working elevator tower, a helipad and an electric charging station, plus two cars. It’s for ages 3 and up and works well for children who love cars and pretend play. Find more in our guide to wooden toys for kids.
Robots and coding toys
WhalesBot A1 Coding Toy Building Block Robot (AED 349)
The WhalesBot A1 is a screen-free coding robot. Children build with large, rounded blocks and program the robot using a magnetic controller and sensor blocks, following story-based projects in three guide books. The pack says ages 3 to 6. In our experience, children enjoy it most from about age 5, with a grown-up helping at first. It’s currently AED 349, down from AED 650.
WhalesBot A3 12-in-1 STEM Coding Robot Kit (AED 549)
The WhalesBot A3 is a 61-piece set that builds 12 different robot models by following story instructions, using sensors, actuators and a controller. It comes in a portable storage box. Like the A1, the pack says ages 3 to 6, and it’s best from about 5 with a grown-up. It’s currently AED 549, down from AED 999.
WhalesBot D1 21-in-1 STEM Coding Robot Kit (AED 399)
The WhalesBot D1 has 280+ pieces to build 21 robot models, controlled and coded through a Bluetooth app with 3D building instructions. The pack says ages 4+, but because children code and drive it on a phone or tablet, we’d suggest it for ages 6 to 8 and up, or younger with a grown-up. The controller needs 3 AA batteries (not included). It’s currently AED 399, down from AED 650.
WhalesBot Pubbo Air Smart Robot Kit (AED 999)
The WhalesBot Pubbo Air is an interactive robot with 9 sensors and an HD screen showing emojis and animations. Children aged 6 to 10 control it by voice, touch or remote, and can move on to Scratch coding through the app’s quests. It’s currently AED 999, down from AED 1499. For more ideas, see our STEM toys guide.
Remote-control fun
Carrera RC Sonic Racing Shadow (AED 339.15)
The Carrera RC Sonic Racing Shadow is a remote-controlled model of Shadow from Sonic Racing, made for play and collecting. It’s for ages 6 and up and currently AED 339.15, down from AED 399. Compare more options in our remote control cars guide.
Building and brain games
Mindware Pattern Play: Color by Design (AED 209)
Mindware Pattern Play uses brightly coloured blocks and pattern cards, from beginner to expert, to introduce sorting, matching, symmetry and fractions. Children can also ignore the cards and make their own designs.
GeoSmart Space Truck (AED 197.50)

Smart Games Colour Code (AED 115)
Smart Games Colour Code has 18 transparent tiles and 100 challenges: children stack the tiles to recreate each picture. It builds planning and visual perception, and it’s for ages 5 and up.
SmartGames Smart Dog (AED 79)
SmartGames Smart Dog is a compact solo logic puzzle with 60 challenges, where players build an obstacle path for a dog. It’s for ages 7 and up, small enough to travel, and a good “spare” gift for birthday parties.
Plan your gifts beyond Blessed Friday
Blessed Friday toy deals go furthest when one order covers several occasions. Think a few weeks ahead:
- Birthdays: keep two or three spare gifts at different prices. Our birthday gift guide has more ideas.
- National Day (2 and 3 December): family games and craft kits work well. See our National Day gifts guide.
- Winter break (from 14 December): building sets, puzzles and active toys keep children busy at home and outdoors in the cooler weather.
- Christmas and New Year: wrap your main gifts early and keep a few stocking fillers aside.

Frequently asked questions
When is Blessed Friday 2026?
Blessed Friday is on Friday 27 November 2026. Many UAE shops, including Toy Souk, run offers across several days around that date, so check the sale dates before you plan.
Are Blessed Friday toy deals worth waiting for?

How do I know a discount is real?

What age is each toy for?
Every Toy Souk product page shows the recommended age. Follow it, and if a gift is for a home with younger siblings, keep small parts in mind.
Do you deliver across the UAE?
Yes. Toy Souk delivers to all seven emirates. If the gift is for a specific date, order a few days ahead, especially around National Day and winter break.
