CLOSED:Coinasaurus (Festive R&G)


If you've ever worried about giving somebody a Christmas present that's unique and totally out of the ordinary then I've news for you....your worries are over as VAT19 has some of the wackiest, zaniest, craziest, unusual presents you could ever think of!

Honestly, has anyone ever given you a Chinese Takeout Music Box for Christmas?
...or how about a Fogless Shower Mirror?


Where have you ever seen Holiday Scented Pencils (scents include gingerbread, cinammon and sugar plum) made out of recycled newspapers?....(Mmm, I may just eat a pencil!)


Or a Coin-a-vore?

Coin-a what you ask?! A Coin-a-vore!! ...i.e. A coin devourer!

Only at VAT19 can you find a Coinasaurus

VAT19's dictionary defines a Coinasaurus very simply....."A coin eating Dino-Bank"!...and I have to add that it's the cutest kid's money bank I've ever seen! The 20" tall, 7.5" wide wooden Dino devours every nickel, dime, quarter and penny your child feeds it and can actually hold 970 quarters!!!

Take a look at the Coinasaurus in action....



Bunny girl absolutely adores her Coinasaurus and insists it's hungry ever so often!! We've now told her that her Dino would get a belly ache if he eats more than 3 pennies a day!

What I love about the Coinasaurus is the fact that Bunny girl can't get to the coins in the belly as she hasn't figured out the unscrew the belly bit yet...and I don't intend to show her our little secret for as long as possible!

I'm sure the Coinasaurus will make a fun gift for any child this Christmas and it's a great way to encourage your kids to save up for that rainy day or a special something they'd really like to get.


Buy it:

You can buy a Coinasaurus for 42.95 US$ (shipping is extra). The price is quite steep but then if you don't have really hold a budget for gifts, this will make a swell gift for your Dino fan!


Win it:

One reader will win their very own Coinasaurus.
