Piggy banks are one of those classic gifts that never get old. Every generation of children receives one, every generation of parents buys one. For florists and gift shops, this is interesting: demand is stable, universal, and spread across multiple peak moments. This collection is earthenware-first, with various animal shapes and one sports-theme (football) for variety.
What will you find in the collection?
The collection consists of shape variations in earthenware and polystone, all in the small-gift segment.
- Animal shapes: sheep (2 assorted), pink poodle, pig (2 assorted), dino (2 assorted), pig (2 assorted). The classic choice for young children.
- Highlander: brown polystone. Larger size, more of a statement item than a classic piggy bank.
- Sport and fantasy: black and white football, monster (3 assorted in blue, red, green). For boys who want something more specific.
- Nature theme: pearl shell. Rare shape, popular for summer holiday gifts.
For what occasions do piggy banks sell?
Four main moments:
- Birth: piggy bank as "first savings gift" for the baby. Sheep and pig are the classics.
- Birthday: year-round, with a preference for animal or themed variants that suit the age.
- Graduation: often combined with cash inside. Also see our graduation collection for broader gifts.
- Baptisms: sheep, pig, and pig are traditional choices for baptism gifts.
Sales are stable year-round, with a peak in May-June (graduation period).
How do you position piggy banks in your store?
Near the children's gift section or close to the cash register. Customers usually buy piggy banks impulsively with a larger gift. For florists who want to incorporate piggy banks into bouquets: place them next to silk flowers, so customers can immediately visualize the "bouquet + piggy bank" gift. For gift shops: combine with children's photo frames and plush toys for a complete children's gift corner.
Are piggy banks one-time use or refillable?
That varies per bank. Most have a rubber stopper on the bottom, which makes opening easier. Some variants are "single-opening" (break); this is explicitly stated on the product page. For gift purposes, the refillable variants are more practical because children can empty them multiple times.
