The Life of a Toy
Their favourite toy. Until it wasn't.
02 · Loved everywhere.
Bedtime. Car rides. Saturday mornings. Everywhere.
03 · And then they grew.
New interests arrived. Their favourite quietly moved to the shelf.
04 · But the toy wasn't finished.
Another child. Another adventure. Another childhood.
That's where ToyX begins.
What your child has outgrown could become another child's favourite.
You Choose
One toy. Two ways to pass it on.
Sometimes you're looking for the next toy. Sometimes you simply want to make space and make another child happy. ToyX lets you choose.
Exchange
Ready for something different?
List a toy your child has outgrown and discover something they'd love next. Request an exchange, chat with the other parent and arrange the handover through ToyX.
Browse ToysNo buying. No selling. Just toys finding new homes.
Donate
Ready to simply pass it on?
List a toy for donation and let other families request it. You choose who receives it, then arrange the handover through ToyX.
Donate a ToyToyX connects families directly. We don't collect or take possession of donated toys.
ToyX Box Donations
You know that box. 📦
The one you've been meaning to sort out for months.
You don't have to list every toy separately. With ToyX Box Donations, photograph the collection, tell families approximately how many toys are inside, and donate the whole box together.

Join the ToyX CommunityFrequently asked questions
Is ToyX free to join?
Yes. ToyX is free to join. The Free plan lets you have up to 5 active listings, make 3 exchange or donation requests per month, and have up to 2 active exchanges or donations at a time. If you need more, ToyX Premium offers unlimited listings, requests and active exchanges for R89/month or R449/year.
What's the difference between Exchange and Donate?
Exchange is a swap: you offer a toy and request another in return. Donate is a gift: you list a toy (or a whole box) for donation, other families request it, and you choose who receives it. Nothing is required in return for a donation.
Can I donate a whole box of toys?
Yes. With Box Donations you list a whole box as one donation: photograph the collection, give an approximate number of toys, and the box is passed on to one family together.
Who chooses who receives a donated toy?
The donor does. When more than one family requests the same donation, the donor reviews the requests and chooses the recipient. Other requests for that toy are then closed.
Does ToyX collect donated toys?
No. ToyX connects families directly. We don't collect, store or take possession of donated toys. Donors and recipients arrange the handover themselves.
Do I need to give someone my home address?
No. You arrange the handover through ToyX chat, and we recommend meeting in a public place. Your listing shows a general area rather than your home address, and you can adjust your privacy settings at any time.
What condition should toys be in?
List toys honestly with an accurate condition (Like New, Good, Fair or Poor) and clear photos that show any wear or missing parts. Always inspect the toy at the handover before completing.
Can I change my mind after someone requests my toy?
Yes, while a request is still pending. Requesters can cancel and toy owners can decline a request. Once you've accepted a request, use ToyX chat to speak to the other family if plans need to change. While a request is active, you can't switch the listing between Exchange and Donate, or between a single toy and a box donation.
