Piggy Banks
Saving is more fun with a little piece of Holland on the shelf. Every one of our Dutch piggy banks has a genuinely Dutch touch: wooden clog piggy banks in cheerful colours, Delft Blue, Amsterdam and Van Gogh designs, Miffy money boxes, a windmill, an old-fashioned milk churn and a classic piggy with a Holland print. A lovely gift for children, an original present for a new baby, or a souvenir that's actually useful every day.
Buy Dutch piggy banks: save up with a clog, a windmill or Miffy
In the Netherlands, almost every child grows up with a money box on the windowsill, collecting birthday coins, pocket money and the odd gift from the tooth fairy. Many Dutch people still remember World Savings Day at the end of October, when children carried their full money boxes to the bank. A piggy bank teaches patience and the joy of saving up for something special.
De Holland Winkel has been selling Dutch souvenirs and gifts since 2002. In this category you'll find money boxes that are not only practical but unmistakably Dutch, so they suit a child's bedroom just as well as a traveller's souvenir shelf.
Which piggy banks can you choose from?
Wooden clog piggy banks
The wooden clog is Holland's best-known symbol, and it makes a charming piggy bank too. Choose from red, blue, yellow, orange, pink, white or magenta, a clog with a red sole or a festive red-and-gold version.
Delft Blue, Amsterdam and Van Gogh
Clog piggy banks with a traditional Delft Blue pattern, an Amsterdam print or the vivid colours of Vincent van Gogh. There's even a clog with the Frisian flag for anyone with roots in Friesland.
Miffy money boxes
Dick Bruna's little rabbit has been a favourite for generations. Choose a Miffy money box in blue, yellow or orange, or Miffy on a wooden clog. A present that parents love just as much as children.
Piggies, windmills and milk churns
Prefer a classic? Pick a traditional piggy with a Holland print, a money box shaped like a Dutch windmill, or an old-fashioned milk churn that recalls the Dutch dairy farm. All of them look great on a shelf long after the savings have been spent.
A piggy bank as a gift: who is it for?
Most of our money boxes cost less than ten euros. That makes them ideal as a small gift, as a fun way to give money, or as a souvenir that's easy to pack in your suitcase.
- ✓For children: a colourful clog or Miffy money box turns saving into a game.
- ✓For a new baby: pop the first coins inside, so the little one starts saving from day one.
- ✓For Dutch expats: a familiar piece of home for (grand)children growing up abroad.
- ✓For travellers: a souvenir of the Netherlands that doesn't just gather dust, but gets used.
