I'd like to buy DD8 a money bank for Christmas. I've searched up on Amazon etc but nothing on there has captured my attention (that I've seen!)
I also can't decide between a regular coin slot one or an electronic running total type one so any pointers are welcome.
Can you suggest any cool ones?

Mine like the paint your own ones from Hobbycraft.

I love this, it's a bit spend though www.notonthehighstreet.com/homeglory/product/guinea-pig-money-box?referredBy=plp

How much money is she likely to keep in it?

DS had this one when he was younger and he loved it. You place the coin on the sensor, annoying music plays, the top raises a little and a little hand/paw reaches out and grabs the money. He had a Pokemon one but there are all sorts. Not much space for actually money though.

A more sensible choice might be a Smiggle safe. DD and DS, now 10 and 12, still use theirs. They don’t seem to sell the ones they have which look like this but the ones the designs they have replaced them with look nice and roomy and are currently in the sale and only £8.50 each.

Sorry for the garbled post! Hopefully you can work out what I mean!!

Thanks goose!
There are some fab ones on there. Saw one that I instantly loved and, typically, it turned out to be £65! Grin but there's definitely a few possibilities there too 👍🏼👍🏼

No, I like that safe one and it is a bargain!
She is likely to only put a pound in here and there but she does get the odd bank note in birthday cards now too. Will have a think!

I bought the Smiggle one, also got a few other bits off their website as they have good sale on.
Got her a new school bag, P.E. bag, money box and a little bag charm/key ring for £36, delivered free.
Happy with that!
