Description
This silverplated star money box gives a little one their very first place to save, and it looks lovely doing it. The whole piece is a plump five-pointed star in a real silverplated finish over a metal alloy body, polished to a bright, mirror-like shine with softly rounded points and smooth faces front and back. A coin slot runs along the upper edge, and a round black stopper sits in the centre of the back. It stands 8.5cm tall, 9cm wide and 3cm deep, so it sits happily on a narrow shelf or a windowsill without crowding it.
We think it makes a thoughtful christening gift, one that stays useful long after the day itself. It suits a baby or toddler up to three years old as a keepsake for their room rather than something to play with. Set it on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a bookcase where grown-ups can drop in the odd coin from the christening onwards. With no printed words or pattern, the plain silver star sits as comfortably in one room as another and keeps its place as the child grows.
The body is metal alloy under its real silverplated finish, and the star stands upright on its two lower points, so it needs no stand or wall fixing. The stopper on the back is how the savings come out again when it is time to count them or take them to the bank. To keep the shine bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and polish it gently now and then. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scourers, which can scratch a plated surface. For a christening present, we like to tuck a first coin inside and write the date on the card, so the money box begins its job on the christening day.
