Tired of pinching pennies? These three little pigs won't rebuild our economy, but they will help an artisan put money in the bank.

Each porcine-shaped bank is handcrafted in the small artisan community of Quinua, in the province of Huamanga, Peru's central highland state. The area is known for its rich pottery-making traditions, with simple ceramics inspired by churches, houses, animals, and religious folkart made of all-natural materials through traditional processes. Artisans working from small home-based workshops begin by mixing clay with water, press it into molds and bake the pieces in a wood or gas-fired ovens to cure, before painting them by hand.

Use yours to save change for a rainy day, or teach kids the importance of saving while supporting the less fortunate through fair trade. Available on World of Good or www.oneworldprojects.com in three sizes, and natural or black.
