When we hear the phrase "savings book", the image of a thin little book on which our savings are stored appears in our head - everything is logical. However, designers skillfully play with words and with the same name release … a piggy bank.
However, it cannot even be called a piggy bank, because the essence of such a thing is not quite that. This book looks very similar to a book, the most ordinary, standard book standing on a bookshelf. Except that the inscription gives out a little - "Spar Buch" when translated from German can just be deciphered as a savings book. As soon as we take it from the shelf, it immediately becomes clear that this is not a book, but a real cache. There is a hole for coins and other valuable things that can be stuffed into such a passbook. It's easy to get them, and you don't even need to break this so-called piggy bank. You just need to push the small latch, and it will be quite simple to get your valuables. I'm afraid if people who know German come into your room, they will immediately guess what is hidden inside the book. The designers had to sign it like "English-Russian Dictionary", "I am learning to cook or" Children's Tales ", hardly then anyone could suspect something. Such a book-piggy bank can be an excellent gift, because a person will think at first that this is a book, and only then he will find out about its secret properties … I think he will not be disappointed, because the thing is useful. The book is made of wood and the binding is made of fabric. Production: Germany. You can find out about the purchase here.
