Snot: the toy no-one wanted
Prepare to meet Snot! The star of the Smyths toys Christmas advert, this years most wanted toy!
Snot’s story begins following as the toy that no-one wanted, a factory line error, cast out and alone, wandering the streets for a place to call home. Eventually Snot stumbles across Smyths toy store and saves the day when he topples a 50 foot dinosaur and is hailed a hero!
The children watched the advert for the first time this weekend and loved it, they thought it was hilarious that he was named Snot, I guess when you’re that age it is totally on their level! I love that the advert is voiced by David Walliams, one of my favourite comedians and authors.
We were lucky to receive our very own Snot this week, and let me tell you that for a toy whom no-one wanted, he was very much wanted indeed!!
He is super soft, super cute and super green! And Harry swooped in to claim him as his own, “That’s my snot!” he said. “He looks more like a Bob to me!” Megan said, which made us all laugh.
Available now in Smyths stores priced at £9.99.
I have been hearing lots about snot and was thinking of getting one for my nephew, the price is good and even better is the cause the funds will go to.
Oh definitely, such a great cause! xx
It’s impossible not to like anything voiced by David Walliams! Sounds like a funny little toy 🙂
Oh I know! He is HILARIOUS! xx
Aww look at that happy face ! Reading your post makes me want to adopt Snot myself xx
Hehe, he is super cute! xx
Ooo we love it when all the christmas adverts come out! This sounds like a great soft plush toy x
Me too! I can’t wait for them all! xx
Oh, this is wonderful! I love the look of Snot. Plus I adore David Walliams too. I’m sure Snot (or Bob!) will be a great hit this year. Caspian would go crazy for him as well.
It’s such a great idea, I love that the money goes to such a worthy cause. xx
My kids fell in love with Snot as soon as he came through the door – very cute

So glad you like it – our office is still FULL of spare Snot toys. I have two on my desk as I write this – shouting “You’ve got snot on you” has become an ongoing office joke 😀
Hahah that’s so funny!! So much leeway for jokes with Snot! xx

What a wonderful toy, both for the obvious joy it brought your son (so cute) and the profits it will bring. Such a brilliant idea x
Thanks Sarah, the kids love Snot and I love that it’s all for charity! xx
I didn’t hear about Snot but this is because I don’t have children. The idea of the ad is really nice and I love that it is narrated by David Walliams. He is such a great comedian! It’s great that all the profit goes to charity as well.
Ahh Snot is such a great idea this year, I love that so much money is being raised in such a fun and affordable way! xx
