mini gift guide: piggy banks.

February 20th, 2009 § 0

Not all banks are pigs, and more importantly, not all pigs are banks.

I’m not sure what compelled me to go on a search for piggy banks – perhaps I felt I need to save more money(I do)and perhaps I just like pigs.

piggy1
$34 – Money Box from Rare Device. Cute egg shaped things, ready to take your quarters.

$9.99 – The Porcoino piggy bank, available at Target. I think it is adorable and is under $10, so I wouldn’t feel too much like a hypocrite for buying a piggy bank to save money. It also comes in pink.

piggy2

$29.99 – Sheep and Duck Banks from Target.

$14 – Zookidooki Sobaba Monkey Ceramic Bank from Target, who’s really rocking this piggy bank thing.

piggy3

$28 – I fell in love with this Pamela Barsky piggy bank cast from an authentic mid century mold when I saw it on the cover of Martha Stewart’s Living, which I unabashedly read.

$25 – Owl Bank and Baby Owl from Planet One. The baby owl is not a bank, but it is very cute.

piggy4

$39 – COINK Piggy bank from Mod Livin’.

$86 – Dwell Studio’s Baby Banks, also available at Mod Livin’. This one is an elephant. Yes, this is an expensive way to save money.

$95 – Since we’re talking about expensive piggy banks, how about the bright pink Bank in the Form of a Pig by Harry Allen?

To tell the truth, I currently keep my spare change in a $2 thrift store mug that says “MUG” on it.I’d like to be a little classier, but I’m not sure that a bright pink pig shaped bank is really in my budget right now.
