    People I have a dilemma :

    for christmas I found 2 fab car shaped ( 1 x mini & 1 x beetle) money boxes for my nieces & as they were very cheap - only £4 each, I put 3 x £2 coins in each one & was going to start them off with £2 savings as they're both heading towards driving age, so thought it would be fun, useful & appropriate for them.

    Due to distance & mocks & general busyness we have not yet seen my nieces although they are aware that 'a gift' is here for them.

    I really like the money banks & I really really like £2 coins & I might not see them for ages & cant send them as they're china. Do I do the unthinkably awful thing that haunts me & eats away at me day & night ie : send each niece £10 & reclaim the cars & coins :eek: :o:o:o :eek: or just try to ignore their presence & give them to nieces as planned :confused:

    I know, I know, I am the worst wicked aunt in the world :o

    Lula - give each neice some money - even in voucher form e.g. book token and keep the moneypigs and the £2 coins for yourself. By giving them a book token you are encouraging them to read and at the same time you can save £2 coins. What you do with the coins is up to you but you could even give them to your neices at a later date in the form of another present:D

    Oh and I managed to get another £2 coin today - I now have £48:j
