Stuck for ideas on what to buy someone for Christmas? Robot Bank is an excellent gift for your friends and family.

What is Robot Bank?

Robot Bank is from the Science museum and costs approx £19.99 depending on the retailer you use. This was the price from Argos where i got my husbands one. Looking around i have discovered that the price for him is between £19.99 and £24.99.

He is approx 23 Cm's High.

He is a talking Money box with many different functions which includes:

Time and Clock on LCD

Counts your money as you add to bank

Can tell you how much you have in bank, as he remembers every coin you add.

He keeps track of withdrawals too - Be warned he will try and stop you with a few phrases.

Target Set - Set a target to reach and the robot will remind you of your target. Always set a small target for children at first and extend it each time, other wise they do get a bit fed up.

Sensor- The robot can sense when someone is near and will say several phrases including PLEASE SAVE TODAY plus many others, he also moves his arms and lights up. This can drive you crazy sometimes and makes me jump if i forget about him at night. You can turn the sensor off.

Batteries - The batteries were supplied with all our robots so i think this must be standard but please check this out when buying. If not supplied you will need 4 AA batteries.

Suitable from the age of 6 years - You need a little understanding of what your doing but the instructions are simple enough to follow.

Why i recommend him?

My son received a Robot Bank for Christmas 2005 and when everyone else saw it they all wanted it. Now Daddy, Sister, Auntie and Cousin all have one in there collection. I also wanted one but think we have enough of them in our house at the moment to cope with.
What is the attraction of this little robot? When i asked everyone the replies were that He's cool, Funny, and gives them the motivation to save. Since my son and daughter got one they have saved and saved and can afford more bits and bobs now. Its just something about this robot that everyone just loves so go on buy one for someone or yourself, you will love it.

I'd buy my sister in law one of these for Christmas - only I think he might struggle a little to count Polish Zloty! Richard.
