Let’s start with this adorable ceramic piggy bank from Golden Pigs — made in Europe, but the company ships worldwide. It’s got a blackboard body so you can write on it if you so choose, it comes in multiple sizes, and the cork snout makes it easy to remove money when you’re ready. In the meantime, a piggy bank is a great way to store all those spare coins that so many people accumulate.
