Am thinking of buying it for my newphew's next birthday.

Since you didn't say how old your nephew will be, however, this gift is a great idea for someone learning how to 'save' $$ and etc.,. It does have an appeal for a young child. I believe the gift will be well worth it--then again, that's up to you. Am almost confident that your nephew will love it though.

Yes I think this gift you plan to give your nephew is a great idea. I like that...

But.... how old your nephew is?

My daughter and her sons made their own labels for empty glass food jars. The money savings and investment information for kids can be downloaded from the internet for free.

Glass jars are neat because the kids can "keep an eye" on their money.

When they accumulate enough money in each jar, they put it into bank savings accounts and stocks.

You can make a "kit" for your nephew, using age appropriate labels and containers, and pack it into a attractive box.

That's a cute gift, I'm sure your newphew would love this.

Hmm...

Buying a particular product to save money kinda defeats the purpose of the product itself.

You would actually be saving money without buying the product.

Have you considered teaching your nephew yourself?

Let's consider the things included in with this product...

A Money Cubby money box (choice of 3 colours)
- This is a piggy bank for saving money to SPEND
- You can simply find a small piggy bank for a lot less money, especially if this piggy bank is a sponsored product of your nephew's favorite thing. For instance, my nephew loves Cars... so I could get him a Lightning McQueen piggy bank.

Family Activity Book
- This could be done free when the parents look up information online and do the teachings themselves. This improves one-on-one interactivity between parents and children.

Money Cubby Savers Club Certificate
- Print your own... any design you want. Be creative.

A set of Stickers
- Buy a few sheets of stickers yourself.

Membership to the Money Cubby Savers Club
- Gee... pay money to save money? "Hey, I'm a member of a club that saves me money!"

Birthday Club Membership
- The child is better off joining birthday clubs with local kids restaurants for free and get discounts on stuff such as birthday parties, food, and cakes. Now, that's saving money!

Ongoing email support
- Having a kid use the internet more than his parents would reduce the bonding between them.

Investment $39.95
- Whoa... $40 to save a few dollars for a little kid?

Three Colour choices
- Only 3 colors? Why not find something more? It's like I said about the piggy bank.




I've done similar projects for people of several age groups. For one guy who was always having a hard time saving money for video games, I told him to get an envelope and put $5 in it every time he got his weekly $20. Every 2 to 3 months, he had enough money to buy a video game. For one kid who wanted to save money for something, I gave him two jars. I told him that whenever he finds change laying around, put it all in the first jar... and whenever he gets money from his parents... put it in the second jar. This inspired his relatives to add some change to that first jar using pocket change. By the end of the year, the kid proudly bought himself his own ticket to Six Flags. In fact, my dad did this for me too... by getting me a Spiderman piggy bank. I was so excited to be putting money in it that I bought myself a ticket to a place I don't remember what.
