The German retailer’s range varies widely and includes items such as Wooden 2D Wheeled Animals and a Wooden Climbing Triangle and Cube.
Other gift ideas include a brand new Wooden Horse Box and a Beauty Station to let your child’s imagination run wild, both retailing for £24.99 each.
Shoppers will have to act fast, however, as the range sold-out when it was released last year.
The chain also laid out its top 10 wooden toys as gifts to “help mum, dad, and Santa’s little helper with what to choose.”
The list included, in no particular order:
- Wooden Kettle, Coffee & Hot Chocolate Maker
- Wooden Kitchen Sets
- Double Sided Easel
- Wooden Climbing Arch and Slide
- Wooden Toy Kitchen
- Wooden Birthday Cake
- Wooden Cupcakes and Doughnuts Assortment
- Wooden Tabletop Assortment
- Toy Roleplay Bags
- Wooden Grocery Sets
The discount retailer chain is also bringing back the wooden Cuthbert which previously caused a stir with M&S fans.
In 2021 M&S lodged an infringement claim against Aldi arguing the chocolate cake was too similar to its classic Colin the Caterpillar which has been around for 30 years with an unchanged design.
But Cuthbert returned to shelves in February 2022 after the two supermarkets called a truce in an agreed settlement.
Aldi claims this years range of wooden toys is its “biggest ever” and that shoppers can expect the “same great value” as 2023’s set.
This comes as rival Lidl announced its own range of wooden toys.
Its set of products are expected to arrive in stores across the UK from October 17 with Aldi’s range available from October 10.

How to save money at Aldi
Unlike other major supermarkets, Aldi does not have a rewards or point card system but that does not mean you cannot save on your shop.
Every week the store releases a list of special buys, which are unique bargain products you find online at Aldi and in-store.
The store releases a fresh range of deals every Thursday and Sunday, so be sure to check regularly to see what’s new.
Meanwhile, the store also regularly sells fruit and vegetables at highly discounted prices, as part of its ‘super six’ deal.
It also does weekly saving offers on typically pricey items such as meat and fish.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
