Drapela Works: Original Creator of Custom Wooden Letter Banks
A personal piggy bank is a great gift. Did you know kids can grasp basic money concepts by the age of 3? It's never too early to teach about saving, spending, and sorting coins and bills. Having a dedicated place for savings can also make these concepts more real for anyone who’s trying to save.
Drapela Works is the original creator of personalized wooden letter banks. We make each one in our workshop in El Campo, Texas.
Where the Idea for Letter Banks Came From
We also call our letter banks, "personal piggies." We wanted to create something that could be a great first birthday gift for children and we know that part of giving well means making it personal.
Giving a personal gift makes the recipient feel appreciated, which is one of the best ways to build relationships. A personalized gift also shows that you care about them, and they will appreciate it for years to come.
Real Wood Piggy Banks for Kids
Wooden letter banks are a great way to keep track of coins and bills that kids are given for allowance, birthdays, and holidays. Each letter bank is made out of Organic Red Oak wood from a third generation, family-owned saw mill. To finish, we cover the wood in a Food-Safe Mineral Oil and a thin layer of beeswax. They look beautiful and they're also practical because they can easily fit in with any style of decor.
Our letter banks are the perfect gift to give for:
- Baby Shower
- Birthday
- Christmas or Hanukkah
- Baptism or Confirmation
- Bat or Bar Mitzvah
Not only are they great for kids—adults love our letter banks, too! We've seen people give them as wedding and graduation gifts. Both are perfect times of life to begin saving for future goals. Lots of people use our custom piggy banks as a way to save toward a goal or save travel mementos.
4 Reasons you need a Drapela Works Letter Bank
- They help you organize loose change. It's amazing how fast pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters add up! It's also fun to take loose change and have kids sort and count it, teaching essential math skills.
- You can literally watch your savings grow. It's easy to be disconnected from money as a "real" thing if you only ever see it on a digital statement. Having a tangible reminder of your savings goals is a great way to stay on track.
- You'll always have cash on hand if you need it. Whether there's a blackout or a banking issue, some experts feel it's a good idea to have some cash saved away at home in the event of a true emergency.
- Kids learn by imitating others. Setting up a piggy bank (and using it regularly) teaches your children about saving and helps them understand that small efforts can lead them to big rewards. It's also a great tool to use in talking to kids about the value of saving.
