Terramundi pots have become a great choice of gift recently for a number of reasons. When it comes to looking for the perfect gift it can be difficult to find exactly what you are looking for. We all want to to give the best gift we can and sometimes that is a personalised gift, they are great and can really make people feel appreciated. The great thing with terramundi pots is the fact that there are so many designs and different ways in which you can personalise them. Whether its for a birthday, wedding , christening or new baby they are fab and will make anyone smile.
Terramundi pots have been made in Italy for over 2000 years using the same processes today as they did back then. There are examples of early money pots in the British Museum and if you get the chance to see them, they are very like the terramundi pots we can buy today.
There is a lot of tradition surrounding terramundi money pots, they are said to bring great fortune to the owner. Once the first coin is dropped into the money pot, tradition states that you should continue to feed the pot with coins and notes until it is full, at which time you should smash it while making a wish. The money that comes from the pot should only be spent on nice things, treats for yourself and not anything dull like bills or groceries. I thing the key is to spend the money on something that will make you smile whenever you see it.
Although the terramundi pots are made in Italy, they are then shipped to the UK where they are hand painted and styled to your exact specifications. You can select from a huge range of colours and designs, and you can add a personal message to the pot as well. This message can be to celebrate an occasion or simply to state what you will be saving for with the pot.
There are so many occasions that terramundi pots make a great gift for, especially because of the personalisation aspect. They can be great for wedddings, engagements, births, christenings, birthdays and even just to tell someone you care.
Terramundi money pots can hold around £200 in silver coins and around £400-£500 in gold coins (£1 & £2 coins) so you can really save a nice amount of money in them which will allow you to get that treat someday soon.
Each terramundi pot comes with a desire card, on this card you should write what your desire to spend the saved money on. By writing this desire on the card and the placing it in the slot at the beginning, you will receive good fortune to help you achieve this desire.
After a while your money pot will become full and it will be time to get your money out. There are two ways to do this, traditionally you would smash it while making a wish but obviously you lose your lovely terramundi pot, so there is an alternative. You can use a chisel or claw hammer to prise the top off from the money slot. Once the top is off and you’ve got your money out you can continue to use the pot as a flower pot, sweetie jar or even a pen holder.
