Cool Product of the Week #4: “Emergency Break Glass” Piggy Bank

 

Washington, D.C. – In this economy, we’ve all had some level of a financial squeeze; whether it be cutting down on shopping or more serious matters. Sometimes we’ve had to tap into that savings account we thought we wouldn’t touch or crack open that piggy bank we put our change in at the end of the day. This product does just that, in a somewhat comical way.

This piggy bank plays on the whole “Emergency funds” aspect of the traditional piggy bank. The “Incase of Emergency” money box can be placed on a flat surface, like a desk or table, or be wall mounted for an added effect (wall mounting equipment included). The only thing the box doesn’t include, besides the money, is a mini hammer to help break the glass.

The box sells for $15.00 USD and ships within two weeks of its purchase since its produced in small numbers. You can purchase your’s here.
