Product Information

Full details

The Pot of Dreams Baby's 1st Savings Jar is ideal for parents or gift-givers looking for a charming and effective way to start saving for a child's future. Its primary benefit is encouraging consistent saving through its unique 'smash' access, preventing impulsive withdrawals. A key consideration is that once savings are accessed, the pot is permanently broken. This hand-painted ceramic jar features a wide slot for notes and coins, a capacity of up to £1000 in £2 coins, and a distinctive design that makes saving an artistic endeavor.

FAQs

How much money can this pot hold?

The Pot of Dreams Baby's 1st Savings Jar can hold up to £1000 in £2 coins. The actual amount will vary depending on the mix of notes and coins deposited.

Is there a way to open the pot without breaking it?

Can I reuse the pot after breaking it?

No, once the pot is smashed to retrieve the savings, it cannot be repaired or reused. It is designed as a single-use savings vessel.

What are the dimensions of the money box?

The dimensions are approximately 17cm (length) x 14cm (width) x 14cm (height).

Is the design suitable for boys and girls?

Yes, the 'Baby's 1st Savings' theme is gender-neutral and suitable for any baby's first savings pot.

How should I clean the money box?

Gently wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the pot, as this can damage the hand-painted finish.

What should I do with the broken pieces after smashing?

After retrieving your savings, carefully collect all broken ceramic pieces and dispose of them responsibly in accordance with local waste disposal guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Money slot feels too small for a note.

Fold the banknote neatly in half or thirds before inserting it into the slot. The slot is designed to accommodate folded notes.

The pot arrived with a small crack.

Contact the retailer immediately. While minor imperfections might occur due to the ceramic material, significant cracks upon arrival should be addressed before use.

Difficulty smashing the pot cleanly.

Ensure the pot is fully empty and covered with a cloth. Use a firm, controlled strike with a hammer. If resistance is met, a second strike may be needed. Be mindful of flying shards.
