These things are a great and unusual gift generally loved by all! I got my partner one of these for his birthday and he was well pleased. They come with a little card that you fill in stating what you are going to use the money on once the pot is full...the only thing is it HAS to be something fun like a holiday, so no bill paying allowed!! There is also a fortune coin in the pot which cannot be retreived until the pot is opened. The only way to open your pot is to smash it and well your not gonna want to do that until it's full...I have also heard its bad luck if you do and well if your superstitious like me you'll be very careful lol. ...  Read the complete review

My husband and I received a Wedding Day Terramundi Money Pot as one of our wedding gifts. I must admit that I was a bit perplexed when we opened the box - what was this odd pot? After some internet research and reading the guide that came with the pot, I discovered that the pots had been used in Italy for thousands of years as a symbol of good luck and good fortune.

The supposedly well blessed money is then partly used to replace the pot and start all over ...  Read the complete review

Mine was a present though so I don't deduct this figure from it's inner value, but although I didn't pay for it I still would never want to throw it down and watch the money fly everywhere (however satisfying that would potentially be). It is possible to slide a pound coin out on a knife as the slot is quite wide (on mine it is anyway) but the point is that you don't touch your money - and in this way it works tremendously well - who could be bothered to spend all that time getting coins out of ...  Read the complete review

If you have anyone to buy for this Christmas who has a new baby, then look no further than a Terramundi Money Pot for a gift they will absolutely adore. You can buy the money pots decorated in all sorts of different designs, but the Pot I have bought for my little granddaughter is a pure white one with the word BABY prettily inscribed in an off-white colour. The Terramundi is an ancient Italian concept and is basically a large earthenware pot with a slot for coins and bank notes to be deposited, the twist being that to get to the cash you will have to smash this beautiful pot so you're not likely to break into your little one's savings for anything other ...  Read the complete review
