Childrens Piggy Banks

	Teaching young children to save money is important. The piggy bank is a fun way to present this lesson. They also provide a convenient place to put small change that seems to collect in our purses and pants pockets. A personalized piggy bank with a name, date and occasion is the ideal way to give a money gift. Place the piggy bank in a basket then wrap some netting material around it. Gather the material at the top of the basket and secure it with a ribbon and a big bow. The check or cash can either be placed in a card inside the basket or inserted partially in the bank opening so that it is visible. These are nice to give to adults as well as children. I have presented a wedding gift of money using a white basket and piggy bank with a gold inscription. In this case, a white netting material with gold sparkles was used.

Childrens Piggy Banks

A pink or blue teddy bear with the baby’s name and birth date for the Christening, the Naming Ceremony or the Brit Milah will become a keepsake as well as a decorative item for the nursery. Of course, wrapping the basket in pink or blue netting with a matching bow is appropriate. Afterwards, the basket can also be used to hold small toys or baby notions.

Netting material can be bought rather inexpensively at any material store. The amount of material that you will need depends upon the size of the basket. If you don’t want to bother buying the material and the ribbon, there are basket wrapping kits that can be purchased. These kits have all of the necessary supplies, in a variety of themes, to wrap a gift basket.

Piggy banks can be found with all types of decorations. There are piggy banks that are adorned with ballet slippers, cool cars, daisies, butterflies or hearts. Each one would be appropriate for that occasion where you want to give something unique that will be remembered. The piggy bank with the ballet slippers for the first dance recital could also be personalized with the dancers name and date of the recital. Do you know someone with a special anniversary coming up? The heart-decorated piggy bank engraved with their names and wedding date is perfect!

Things Remembered has a silver-plated engine that can be engraved. You can add a train throw blanket to the gift basket along with the bank for the train lover on your gift list.

Banks come in many shapes, colors and sizes. Do you know someone who is really into sports? There are banks that look like soccer balls, basketballs, baseballs and, of course, the ever-popular football. Piggy banks are also shaped like watermelons, fish, cars and lots more. You should be able to find one to fit every occasion. If not, have one custom made!

For a really nice gift, you may want to visit Lenox. The Pooh’s Pot of Gold bank will charm any child. The Noah’s Ark Bank would be a delightful way to help to explain the story of Noah to a young child. To match a celestial theme in a nursery, the Baby Snoopy Bank is perfect with its moon and stars.

Finding a bank to match any décor is not difficult. Whether it is to match or contrast a color or theme, banks in various shapes and sizes can add something different to the look that you are trying to achieve.

Banks can be used as an interesting way to accent a shelf or table. Do you need something to add to that group of animal figurines? Place the bank on a shelf, along with the figurines, to create a group that will be pleasing to the eye.

Antique banks are worth more than they can hold. The very old dime bank with Superman on the front of it is something every collector would love to have. The mechanical banks actually have parts that move when money is inserted. Both types can be found on various sites on the Internet that specialize in vintage banks.

Don’t forget a piggy bank the next time you are looking for a truly unique present or fora decorative piece to accent the nursery. They are a delight to give and receive!
