Looking for last-minute Christmas presents? Premium toys and furniture, valued at over $800,000, will be up for a massive clearance auction starting from just $1.

American toy company KidKraft is closing its Australian warehouse operations and will auction off thousands of items on Saturday, December 21.

Managed by Lloyds Auctions, the products will be available for pickup from Lloyds locations in Melbourne, Sydney, and southeast Queensland.

“This is a one-off opportunity for Australians to grab KidKraft’s beloved products at prices you’d never see in stores,” said Lloyds Auctions chief operations officer Lee Hames.

“All items are brand-new and perfect for last-minute Christmas gifts. There are more than 4,200 premium items going under the hammer, providing families the chance to own these products at a fraction of the retail price.”

KidKraft, founded over 50 years ago in the United States, is known for its toys, including play kitchens, dollhouses, and outdoor playsets.

The company’s warehouse closure in Australia follows its filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States in May 2024.
