Description
This round ceramic money box brings Bambi to a little one's shelf. The young fawn leans down to greet a small grey rabbit in soft, sketchy colours. Beside them, gold lettering reads "BIG things start small", with "little one" printed in a neat panel beneath, and a gold star and a pale peach cloud complete the front. Around the back, soft blue and white clouds drift among pastel stars above little tufts of grass. The body is white ceramic with a gloss finish and a fine gold band where the softly rounded top meets the sides. It stands 8.5cm tall and 8cm across.
At that size it sits happily on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a bedside table. It is small enough to keep close for dropping in coins and pretty enough to leave out between times. We see it as a keepsake for babies and young children, from birth up to around twelve years. It is a piece that can stay in their room as they grow and gather their first savings one coin at a time. The printed words make it a warm, thoughtful gift for a little one from anyone who wants to give something lasting rather than something quickly outgrown.
The slot sits in the centre of the top, so coins drop straight in. Because it is ceramic, it is best placed where it will not be knocked, as a fall onto a hard floor can chip or crack it, and a grown-up should lift it down. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe it over with a damp cloth when needed, then dry it gently, taking care around the gold band and lettering. For gifting, drop a few first coins inside before you wrap it, a small start to the words on the front.
