# Cracked Cranium Piggy Banks The Brain Bank is a Sleek and Understated Way to Save Cash By Jonathon Brown | Published 2013-02-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-brain-bank References: [geekalerts](http://www.geekalerts.com/the-brain-bank/) & [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com) The Brain Bank ensures your money goes straight to your head and feeds the myth that [money makes you smarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-muse-s-athena). You can use this [piggy bank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-security-savings-account) to stack up your coins over time in a [ceramic brain sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mwi-brain-scanner) that would do fine as a decorative piece anywhere in the house. The fact that it is white means it can pretty much blend into whatever room you choose to put it in. If it were red, like a real brain, it might be a bit too eye catching. However, in this form and color, it is modest and understated, yet still a great conversation piece. The make up of the Brain Bank is simple, with just one slot at the top of the brain and a removable plug beneath. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sleek Piggy Banks:** Designing piggy banks with sleek and contemporary aesthetics. - **Decorative Saving Products:** Creating saving products that double as stylish room decor. - **Minimalist Money Management:** Promoting minimalist living through innovative money management solutions. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Brain Bank is a home decor innovation that can be applied to other products. - **Financial Services:** Integrating Brain Bank-like products to financial services can enable people to save and invest better. - **Art and Craft:** Creating DIY savings decor and elevating the space of frugal art and craft. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Kintsugi-Inspired Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penny-piggy-bank.md) - [Digital Currency Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-piggy-bank-concept.md) - [Paper-Made Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-piggy-bank.md) - [Wishing Well-Inspired Coin Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coin-bank-concept.md) - [Anatomical Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-skull-with-hidden-organs.md) - [Neurodivergent Virtual Budgeting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-purple-piggy-bank.md) - [Scientific Research-Supporting Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/science-bnk.md) - [Advanced Brain-Cooling Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-sleep-pillow.md) - [Brain-Like Labyrinths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brash-collective.md)
