Pewter plated money bank hippopotamus, blue enamel

This tin-plated hippo-shaped money box from NOA Kids, with light blue ears, makes a classic and personalised christening gift. Its simple and understated design makes the money box ideal as a decoration for a child’s bedroom, whilst also serving to collect the child’s first coins and monetary gifts.

The money box has a tin-plated finish and a timeless look that is perfect for christenings, naming ceremonies and birthdays. It encourages an early saving tradition, allowing the child to keep track of their small savings. The money box can be engraved on the front or back in two lines. However, a maximum of one name or date is allowed per line. A little tip: feel free to put a couple of coins in the money box before giving it as a present – this is often seen as a sign of good luck and gives a lovely start to their savings.

A tin money box with a personalised engraving is a lasting keepsake that can accompany the child for many years and become a cherished memento of a special day.
