One savvy shopper was overjoyed to see the new-in bargains and eagerly raced to social media to alert others, leaving many totally stunned.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook group with 2.6 million members, Amber Morrish uploaded a screenshot of the new buys, which start from £9.99.
Alongside her post, Amber explained: 'If your little ones or yourself are part of the hype for the new arrival to the Peppa Pig family, Smyths already have toys in!!'
Not only are there huge plush sets featuring the new baby Evie, who arrived yesterday at 5:34am, but there's also a 16 piece play house too.
Shoppers will be able to get their hands on the Peppa Pig Interactive Oinks & Snuggles Baby Evie Doll, which is priced at £29.99 and has over 20 sound effects.
There's also a Peppa Pig Figures Peppa's Family of Five Set with Baby Evie, which is just £9.99.
The set contains the whole family, alongside baby Evie in her carrier.
As well as this, parents will also see the new Peppa Pig Playset Peppa and Baby Evie's Park Fun, which is also under £10.
The £9.99 buy sees baby Evie and Peppa Pig ready for the park in matching outfits, inspired by the much-loved TV show.
Peppa Pig and Mummy Pig open up about playing their roles for 10 years
But if you're after a super special gift for your child's birthday, you'll want to check out Peppa Pig's Big Family House Playset with Baby Evie, which is available to buy for £39.99.
Thanks to this buy, your little darling is sure to have hours of fun, with three bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, kitchen with a fridge that opens and a garage with a door that lifts.
But that's not all, as there's also a Peppa Pig Peppa's Big Family Car with Baby Evie for £19.99.
Peppa Pig legacy
PEPPA Pig first aired in 2004 and has since been broadcast in 180 territories and translated into 40 languages.
Now it's spawned books, toys and even two theme parks, with the global Peppa empire now worth over £1billion.
Creators Neville Astley and Mark Baker admitted they were initially worried the idea would never get off the ground, and that people at first, were bored of the idea.
Astley explained: "People in the pub would ask us, 'What are you drawing?' We'd say, 'A pig, called Peppa, it's going to be big'.
'They'd lose interest and wander off."
The iconic family car has been given an upgrade with this buy and kids can open the doors, boot and bonnet and will even find all of baby Evie's baby gear inside.
Not only this, but kids are sure to love the Peppa Pig Five Pack Family Plush with Baby Evie, which is £29.99.
According to those at Smyths Toys, these 'super soft' plush toys are the 'perfect size to cuddle and take anywhere'.
They aren't that bad priced

They're also 'ideal for storytelling and playing with friends and siblings.'
And to top things off, you'll also find the Peppa Pig Peppa and Baby Evie Wooden Play House - but it'll set shoppers back £69.99.
The exclusive wooden buy comes complete with 18 accessories and nine rooms to explore, and according to those at Smyths Toys, it 'encourages imagination and creative nurturing play'.
Bargain hunters beam
Facebook users were clearly left open-mouthed by the new toys, as Amber's post has quickly racked up 119 likes and 298 comments in just 15 hours.
What to watch out for when buying toys online
HERE are the British Toy and Hobby Association's top tips for buying toys online: Shop early. Don't leave purchases to the last minute rush which might leave you fewer options of where to buy from. Check out third-party sellers. Look for sellers you recognise and trust. Be cautious of retailers you don't know and do your research checking reviews and where they're based. Go for branded toys. Try and choose a branded toy as then you can compare it to the manufacturer's own website to check it's legit. Be careful of going for the cheapest price. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Check if there are any age restrictions. Make sure you give suitable toys to children based on their age. Check reviews carefully. Some reviews are fake so look carefully at the comments. Stay with children at first. When your child opens a toy for the first time, stay with them and check for faults, detachable small parts, access to stuffing and loose or accessible batteries or magnets.
Not only did many 'need' the new baby Evie bargains, but others were stunned by how "quick" they had hit shelves.

Inside Beyonce & Jay Z's relationship rollercoaster – from ‘Becky' cheat rumours to Diddy controversy & THAT lift drama
Controversy surrounded the start of their relationship, with concerns raised about their significant age gap. LOVE ON TOP Inside Beyonce & Jay Z's relationship rollercoaster – from 'Becky' cheat rumours to Diddy controversy & THAT lift drama FROM 'Becky with the good hair' rumours to Diddy controversies, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have faced plenty of challenges throughout their 25-year relationship. Despite the ups and downs, the power couple has appeared to remain strong, focusing on creating a positive impact for their three children – Blue Ivy Carter, 13, and twins Rumi and Sir Carter, seven. 11 Beyonce set her for her Cowboy Carter tour Credit: Rex 11 Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Blue Ivy Carter at the 60th Grammy Awards Credit: Getty Images - Getty 11 Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jay-Z at Diddy's birthday party Credit: Getty This weekend, Beyoncé's highly anticipated Cowboy Carter tour kicks off in London, promising a stunning showcase of western-inspired fashion and an unforgettable rodeo of sights and sounds. The global icon is set to perform a two-hour, 45-minute spectacular in support of her Grammy-winning album, bringing her two daughters along for the journey. Beyoncé's music has always been at the heart of her success. However, her journey hasn't been without its share of public storms. From dodging the Diddy controversy to her sister Solange's infamous elevator incident, and those ever-persistent 'Becky' cheating rumours, their relationship has been anything but smooth sailing. Here, we delve into the drama and resilience that has defined their extraordinary 25 years together. 2000 - 2004: Dating The pair first met in 2000 at the MTV Spring Break Festival in Cancun, Mexico, when Beyoncé was 18 and Jay-Z was 30. Jay-Z later rapped about their meeting and sitting together on a flight back to New York in his 2018 track 713. Beyoncé confirmed this during an interview with Oprah, explaining that they were friends for a year and a half before dating. Jay-Z and Beyonce's $3billion net worth 'could take a big hit' after rape claims, lawyer says She said: "We were on the phone for a year and a half, and that foundation is so important for a relationship. 'Just to have someone who you just like is so important, and someone [who] is honest." Although Beyoncé has clarified she was not underage when they met, rumours about their age gap have persisted. Ignoring the speculation, the couple released Crazy in Love in 2003. While Beyoncé had already featured on Jay-Z's 03 Bonnie & Clyde, it was Crazy in Love that solidified their status as a power duo, even though they still kept their relationship under wraps at the time. It was then in 2004, the couple made their red carpet debut at the VMAs. 2008 - 2012: Marriage & child This was the year Beyoncé and Jay-Z finally tied the knot. At 26 and 38, the couple exchanged vows in an 'intimate' ceremony that remains shrouded in secrecy. 11 Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Blue Ivy Carter at the Grammy Awards in 2018 Credit: Getty It is believed the wedding took place in a Manhattan penthouse. 'There was no rush - no one expected me to run off and get married,' Beyoncé later shared with Seventeen about her wedding day. 'I really don't believe that you will love the same thing when you're 20 as you do at 30. So that was my rule: Before the age of 25, I would never get married. 'I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself, and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else.' The Carters then went on to welcome their first child, Blue Ivy Carter, 7 January 2012. 2014: 'Billion dollars on an elevator' fight At this point, Beyoncé found herself embroiled in one of the most dramatic public controversies of her life. Her sister, Solange Knowles, was caught on video attacking Jay-Z in an elevator at the 2014 Met Gala afterparty. The altercation occurred while Beyoncé was also present in the elevator. Security footage obtained by TMZ showed Solange wildly hitting and kicking Jay-Z before a security guard intervened to restrain her. At one point, Beyoncé was seen standing between the two. The video quickly went viral, sparking widespread speculation. At the end of the day, families have problems, and we're no different. We love each other, and above all, we are family Joint statement Though never confirmed, many believed the fight stemmed from cheating rumours surrounding the couple at the time. On May 15, 2014, the trio issued a joint statement addressing the incident. "As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. 'But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it," they said in a statement to the Associated Press. "Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. 11 Beyonce, Jay-Z and Solange Knowles were seen leaving the Met Gala After Party after elevator incident Credit: Splash 11 Beyonce and Jay Z recreating their elevator incident in an attempt to put a positive spin on it Credit: Splash News 'They both have apologised to each other, and we have moved forward as a united family." The statement continued: "The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. 'At the end of the day, families have problems, and we're no different. We love each other, and above all, we are family. "We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same." 2016: Beyonce releases Lemonade, confirming a 'Becky' In April 2016, Beyoncé released her groundbreaking album Lemonade, which many fans believe essentially confirms that Jay-Z cheated on her. She opens with the lyric: 'You can taste the dishonesty, it's all over your breath.' At another point, she pointedly asks: 'Are you cheating on me?' The album appeared to finally settle the speculation surrounding the infamous Met Gala elevator incident. I think that everybody at one time or another has been betrayed and lied to Tina Knowles Fans were further intrigued when Beyoncé mentioned 'Becky with the good hair,' a phrase that quickly became a cultural talking point. Speaking about the album, Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles Lawson, said: 'It could be about anyone's marriage. 'I think that everybody at one time or another has been betrayed and lied to and it's about the pain and it's about the healing process and it's about, 'How do you get past that and move on.'' 2017: The twins are born & Jay Z talks marriage On February 1, 2017, Beyoncé and Jay-Z announced they were expecting twins with a heartfelt post alongside Beyoncé's iconic pregnancy reveal, and they were later born in mid-June that same year. 11 Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and their children reading books Credit: BackGrid 11 Beyoncé holding her twins But it was later that year that got people talking as Jay-Z openly admitted to his infidelity during an interview with The New York Times' T Magazine. Reflecting on the challenges they faced, he said: 'You know, most people walk away, and like divorce rate is like 50 percent or something 'cause most people can't see themselves. "The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone's face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself. "So, you know, most people don't want to do that. You don't want to look inside yourself." 2024-2025: Embroiled in Sean 'Diddy' Combs drama In Decemeber 2024 Jay Z and Sean 'Diddy' Combs were accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 at the VMAs afterparty, to which the rapper denied all allegations. The unnamed woman, claimed that she had been handed a glass of something that made her feel 'woozy' and recall lying down in a bedroom, in which she got raped. However, in February this year, the case was dismissed, according to a legal filing submitted in New York. At the time Jay Z denied the accusations via a post on social media, in which he wrote: 'My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a 'lawyer' named Tony Buzbee. My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims Jay Z statement What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. 'No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!' He continued: 'My only heartbreak is for my family. 11 Beyoncé, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, and Jay-Z at an event Credit: Getty 11 Jay-Z and Sean "P. Diddy" Combs at a CD release party Credit: Getty "My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people.' A man accused Sean 'Diddy' Combs of sexual assault and humiliated him at a 2015 party while Beyonce and Jay Z were present. However, in April 2025 the accuser, Joseph Manzaro, filed an amendment to his lawsuit in Florida and removed the couple's name from his lawsuit.
