Competition

I was at Seagull Book today and I saw they have new tithing banks for kids. I am very familiar with the old selection. The cardboard one, the plastic one, and the modern tin one with color illustrations and a lock! I might be biased, but it was clearly the best one on the market, and yes, I get royalties on it and love it. So, NO! I am not happy that there is copy cat bank that is also tin, with a lock and key, and color illustration and less expensive! (smaller though) You can see them here. Just don't buy the copy cat.

Yours are way cuter! It needs a savings slot also. I may get them for Christmas, that would be a great present for them.

You know, having people copy you shows that you're truly successful. :) But yeah, it's still lame. Yours is definitely better. People will be willing to pay a couple more bucks for better work.

Both my kids have one of the real thing with the best illustrations. They love saying Dad's cousin drew the pictures. My only issue with it is they insist on shoving the keys through the slot while the bank is locked. Now Dad is the keeper of the keys.

It's weird that you posted this the day after I noticed the same thing at Deseret Book in Layton. Lame.
