This 'Memory Bank' by Speechless Studios is an updated and more sentimental take on the classic piggy bank.
Without any face, but full of heart, this ceramic gem is an adorable and modern piece. Being sold online, the bank holds notes instead of money, and is designed specifically to accommodate slips of paper. Users also also encouraged to store ticket stubs, tiny photos and other memorabilia in the bank, acting as somewhat of a jumbled scrapbook. Giving people a solid and designated place to put sentimental tidbits and other things worth saving, this is a sweet and whimsical piece sure to be a conversation starter.
Adorable without being over-the-top cutesy, this is a grown-up and covetable update to the ever-popular piggy bank.
