Put yourself and your money at the centre of your universe. If saving is a proving a stumbling block in your life, and you're struggling for a creative place to put spare coppers, or those 20 pence pieces you're saving to put towards you're next pint, we've found a rather ironic solution. In fact it's truly out of this world.

Behold a beer glass shaped piggy bank - but this is no ordinary pint glass, it packs surprising brain power to boot. It automatically totals the amount of money inside as you save, thanks to its coin identifying technology. And that's not all - its manual subtraction function enables users to recalculate their savings after withdrawing money.

Now all Mr Gordon Brown has to do is place one in every household in the land to watch savings rates increase exponentially. Just as long as he can keep a lid on our natural capitalist desire to splurge on what we've just saved. Hmm.

Money not included.
