Product Information

Full details

This Pot of Dreams money box is ideal for anyone looking for a fun and visually appealing way to save for specific goals, such as weddings, holidays, or emergencies. Its key benefit is the unique 'save and smash' design, which discourages dipping into savings by requiring the pot to be broken to access the money. A potential caveat is that once savings are accessed, the pot cannot be reused, and the smashing process requires care.

FAQs

How do I access my savings?

To access your savings, you must break the ceramic pot open. It is recommended to cover the pot with a cloth or towel and use a hammer to smash it. This is a one-time access method.

Can I reuse the pot after breaking it?

No, the Pot of Dreams is designed to be broken to access savings, making it a single-use item.

What is the maximum amount I can save?

The pot can hold approximately £1000 if filled entirely with £2 coins. The actual amount will vary depending on the mix of notes and coin denominations used.

Is the hand-painted design durable?

The design is hand-painted. While generally durable for its intended purpose, it should be handled with care to prevent scratches or damage before the pot is smashed.

Can I put my savings back if I break it early?

No, once the pot is broken to access savings, it cannot be reassembled or reused for saving.

What are the dimensions of the money box?

The dimensions are approximately 14.5cm x 14.5cm x 15cm.

Is this suitable for children?

While it encourages saving, the 'smash to reveal' aspect means it is best supervised by an adult when it comes time to break the pot. It is a great tool for teaching older children about financial goals.

Troubleshooting

Pot feels lighter than expected

This is normal as savings accumulate. The pot is designed to hold a substantial amount.

Money slot seems jammed

Gently try to wiggle the contents. If a note or coin is severely creased, it might require careful maneuvering. Do not force it, as this could damage the slot.

Concerned about the smashing process

For safety, place the pot inside a sturdy bag or cover it with an old towel or cloth before smashing with a hammer. Ensure you are in a clear area away from breakable objects or people. Wear safety glasses if available.
