Description
This silverplated cube money box looks like a little nursery building block in shining silver, with a coin slot cut cleanly into its top. Around its middle runs a band of soft grey panels, each set with raised silver details. The letters A, B and C fill one side and the numbers 1, 2 and 3 another. A teddy bear between two stars sits on a third, and two elephants with a crescent moon on the last. It stands 7.5cm tall and is 8cm wide and deep, so it sits neatly on even a narrow shelf.
We think it makes a thoughtful gift for new parents, a keepsake to welcome a baby that can stay in their room for years. The alphabet and counting blocks give it a gentle nursery feel, and the silver and soft grey sit comfortably in a calm scheme of white, cream or stone as well as in a brighter room. Dropping the first coins through the slot can become a small family ritual and the beginning of saving for something special. The compact square shape takes little space on a chest of drawers, windowsill or bookshelf.
The box is metal with a bright, shiny silver-plated finish, and the grey panels give its plain silver faces a soft contrast that picks out every letter and number. To keep the shine, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive polishes or scouring pads, which can wear a plated surface. Wrap it in tissue with a card, perhaps with a first coin already inside, and new parents can set it straight on the nursery shelf and keep it long after the baby years have passed.
