Capitalist Piggy Bank

What it is: A cheerful little capitalist pig(gy bank), to remind us never to take money too seriously.

Why we love it: Ah, the rat race. The tireless and unending pursuit of the biggest cars, the fastest houses... wait, no, reverse that. We're all trying to get ahead in this world, and it's unfortunately easy to lose a sense of perspective and scope in the endless drive to keep up with the Joneses. It's important sometimes, to present someone with a little reminder to not take the whole process to seriously. This little capitalist pig will remind them to keep their sense of humor while they're out bringing home the bacon (so to speak). He's brightly painted and decorated with a cheerful smile that keeps on shining no matter how much (or little) cash he's got inside him. He also comes equipped with a plastic plug in the base, so they can redeem their savings without losing their cheery little capitalist friend.

Who we'd give it to: The Overworked, The Overly Safe, The Recently Retired, to remind them of all they're missing.

Where to get it: From Uncommon Goods for $14.00 of your hard-earned dollars.
