The Dream Bank

First to recommend

Description

The Dream Bank is cute and creative,. These are simple shadow boxes with the ability to insert a photo or imagery of your dream product and a slot for coins so you can save up for it!

You insert the photo (I think I'll put in the Kaufmann house in Palm Springs) and then add coins until you've reached your goal..
I'm gonna need to buy over 1,000 of these!
