Nestlums - Pocket Money Pet

Meet the Nestlums! A fun and easy way for kids, aged 4-8, to keep track of the pocket money their parents have promised them. In today’s cashless world, it can be hard for children to remember how much pocket money they have. The days of emptying a piggy bank and feeling the joy of physically counting their money are fading away. While older kids, around 9-12 years old, might start using a bank card and digital app, younger children need something simpler. That’s where the Nestlums come in - a straightforward pocket money tracker that lets kids see, at the press of a button, exactly how much they’re owed.

Studies Show Financial Habits Are Formed by Age 7 Research from the Money Advice Service highlights that some of our core habits and attitudes toward money are shaped by the age of 7, making it harder to change these behaviours later in life. That’s why Nestlums is thoughtfully designed to nurture positive financial habits early on, all while ensuring the experience remains fun and engaging for your child.

For young children, parents play a crucial role in teaching them about money - whether it’s collecting their weekly pocket money, shopping together, or buying that next digital item for their Roblox character. These everyday moments, side-by-side with parents, are when kids begin to understand the value of money. With Nestlums, you can make these conversations even more impactful. Use the secret parent mode on the Nestlums to show your child how their pocket money balance changes when you buy them an ice cream or an online item. Real-life spending moments are when children truly learn about money, and Nestlums is there to help you guide them. It’s designed with complete simplicity, as a tracker, to allow children to easily monitor their balance as it increases or decreases, helping them get ready for the day when they’ll confidently manage their own bank card.

Nestlums is crafted by parents, for parents and their young children. Appreciating that kids aged 4-8 often don’t use coins and are too young for a real bank card, we recognised a need for a simple way to track pocket money. Parents frequently lose track of how much money their child has, and young children aren’t quite ready to manage this on their own. With Nestlums, whether it’s mum, dad, or another guardian, tracking and managing pocket money is easy without setting up a real bank account or using an app on a digital device. It’s a perfect way to prepare your child for the future - when they’re ready to transition from their beloved Nestlum to their first bank card at around age 8. Just as we remember our piggy banks fondly, today’s kids will cherish their first money companion, their Nestlum!

Nestlums combine the charm of a Tamagotchi with the practicality of a piggy bank. These lovable critters are designed to be carried everywhere and can be attached to a child’s bag or belt loop. Each time a parent updates the pocket money balance on the Nestlum itself - whether adding or subtracting money - it responds with a playful “poop”. Eye rolling for parents. Utter joy for youngsters.
