Where can I find "Cruise Fund" jars or banks?

[scrappinannie]

I've only seen one that I kind of like. It's one of those round jars, it's blue with the words "Cruise Fund" painted on the front. It's cute, but am looking for something a little more fun. Has anyone made one of their own or purchased a custom made bank? I'd love to have a few ideas before I buy one. Thanks!:)

I have one that I bought at a local art fair. It is made of pottery with the words "Cruise Fund" on the front and is a somewhat primitive blue and gray color. It hadsa wide cork stopper on top. I don't know where you would find something like that but I do really like mine.

Have you had a look at this website? http://www.cruisegiftstore.com/ They have lots of cute little items :D They're based in the UK, but if you email them they'll send you a quote to post internationally, you just need to have a Pay Pal account. I've purchased a few things from them and couldn't be happier with the service or the quality of the goods!

My TA has one on his desk. He said he purchased it at a gift shop at an area outlet shopping center. I've seen similar banks with "green fees" "vacation fund" "ashes of former clients" on them in mail order catalogues.

I think I tried two things.....

1.) Google "cruise fund jar"

2.) Go to Ebay and type in "cruise jar"

 

Ours says "Vacation Fund" but I've seen the cruise one around. Pottery places make them and occasionally Hallmark/Papaya types of stores carry them. We got ours by Googling it and found a nice mom & pop pottery place that made all sorts of sayings on them. My boss has "Ashes of Problem Clients" :)

there's a vendor at Disneyland that has a stand that sells them. I will see if they have a website and put it up here if they do

I have 2 of them-both were bought at "junk stores". I have also noticed them in some catalogs I recieve in the mail-good luck on finding one, they should be pretty common.

I got a really cute one as a gift from my sister last year for Christmas. She bought it at Hallmark and it is quite large, bright blue and the front says "Cruise Fund" with a picture of a cruise ship and dolphins and a sun.. very cute!

Alternatively, check around your area and see if there are any "Paint your own pottery" type places. They probably have a number of piggy banks, or you may be able to get a ceramic ship and have a slot cut into it, then you can paint it yourself!! I'm a sort of artsy person, and I've had fun at these type of shops before. If you don't see something you like, ask the person there- they may be able to get the type of thing you are looking for!

In the Northeast there is a chain of stores called "Christmas Tree Shops". I saw one of those banks near the check-out line a just a few days ago.

How cute! I want one now.

I bought the one that is shaped like a boat on ebay. I just entered cruise banks. I got it for my daughter because it is so cute. The will be her first cruise in 15 years. She loves it, sets it on our hutch.

if you have a A.C.Moore store or a Michaels craft store near you they usally have piggy bank in different sizes (and they have the rubber stoppers on the bottom)and they are plan white.. they also sell paint pens so you can put your own design on it if you heck in the scrapbooking section they have some really cool stickers of ships you could prob. pit that on the bank also hth and now i think ill go and make one(i still have stickers left over from doing a scrapbook for a guy from work who surprised his wife with a cruise for his wife) ohh if you go to acmoores website you can print a 40% off coupon so you can get the biggest one they have for about $13-$15

The "word jars" you described are made by Tumbleweed pottery. They have a website of different types of clay products. You can find it here:

I found one at Hallmark years ago, when they carried the whole line of tumbleweed pottery.

Just sold it at my recent garage sale !!!

I just saw this post. We created our own cruise box. We purchased a box that was an oversized shoe box size. Glued it shut and since we are cruising to Bermuda put pictures flowers, animals, historical sites, people in costume, picture of the ship, map of bermuda etc. My daughter loves to scrap book so she went to town!! We have a great looking "Bermuda Box" as we call it. Made us want to save!! :D
