Hi Ladies! I'm hoping that somebody might be able to help me on this one. Five yrs ago, my mother-in-law bought a jumbo piggy bank from Crayola when I had my first child. She hand painted shapes and my son's name on it. My younger son is now old enough to notice that he doesn't have a special piggy bank like his big brother and unfortunately Crayola no longer sells this item. I thought about adding my younger boy's name to it, but my MIL had it glazed or something and I don't think it would look right if I painted on top. Does anybody know where I can find something similar? This one is a pig shaped white ceramic bank and is about 1 foot square in size. Thank you for any suggestions!
Thank you! I hadn't even thought of Target but I will check it out and do some more ebay searching. I appreciate the help!
You could try the website ww.personalcreations.com. I've gotten some great personalized gifts from them. www.lilianvernon.com may have them too.
Try Target - they have some big piggy banks. If you want something hand painted try a paint your own pottery place - they usually have banks as well.
They have big ones right now at Target that are already decorated, but you could probably paint a name on them. Also, look on Ebay, I saw Crayola ones on there!
Hi V.,
I have seen big piggy banks that you can decorate yourself over at Michaels and I think that I have seen them at JoAnns Fabrics as well! Good luck!

Target has some fun big ones.

Have you called around to the pottery/ceramic places where you go, paint the piece, and then leave it for them to fire? They go by different names around here like Bisque & Brew or Color Me Mine... I am assuming they are all franchises.
Did you look online? Google it! I bet you can find one and then have it personalized. Here's a website for example.

$39.95 for a 13 inch
We just got my oldest one from Target as well. It is a nice size.
I have to say try Target as well. We bought our son one awhile back that is pretty big.
I've seen some at target in the kids bedding section.
We have them here at the flea markets
Target has great selections.
My favorite is a Chalk Board Piggy Bank. It is painted in chalk board paint and can use chalk to write on it.
