Book-safe for free
As a rule, such presents are tried to give to people on an important occasion, when they are not very familiar with the person or whether he is the boss or colleague of work. To date, such an original gift is becoming more popular. And there are several categories of a hiding place: from a simple souvenir of plastic to a very serious safe-book with a key.
As for the cover, the choice here is really huge. For a gift to a little familiar person, a cover in the form of an atlas of the world or something like an encyclopedia and a dictionary will do. If you want to make a gift with humor, that is, the covers are stylized for Soviet editions or the eternal classic "Capital" by Karl Marx. For the perfect half, covers are suitable for women's novels or cookbooks.
Book mini-safe: how to choose?
There are three categories of this kind of cache, differing in price and purpose. Let's consider in more detail each of the species.
- Plastic safe-book. Such a present is a plastic box. From above it is covered with leather or leatherette. Typically, this type does not open like a regular book, but has a special sliding door with a key. This option is the cheapest and will work as a joke for a friend. As a rule, they put a surprise or sweets there.
- The most common type of safe is a book with a key made of wood. The choice of external design is much broader, and the quality is much higher than the level of plastic models. This kind can have several variants of execution: in the form of a casket, with a key or a combination lock. All three options open on the principle of a simple book - turning over the cover. The code lock is usually three-digit, but there are exceptions. Models of books-safe with a combination lock with a more complex combination of numbers are rarely released massively, these are pieces made and made by the master to order. The box is intended for storing photographs or other important but not valuable things. If the safe-book has a combination lock, then the cover itself serves as the main door. And for models with a swivel key, the cover is just a disguise of the main lock. Under it there is a metal door. For models made of wood, external covers are made of leather or a substitute, satin and silk. As for the sizes, that is quite small books about 17cm tall, 22cm standard and quite impressive 30cm folios.
- Separately, there are metal hiding places. Most often they have a combination lock and a cardboard outer cover. Their prices are the highest. As for the appearance, the realism of the image is less than that of wooden models. Such options are better
store in a drawer or on a shelf farther away, since this is already quite a serious hiding place and you can not put it in a prominent place.
In conclusion, it should be said that it is not worthwhile to regard such safes as a reliable protection, but for a gift or a box for important little things, a safe in the form of a book is perfect. It is also an excellent alternative to the envelope, if you want to give original money for an anniversary or a wedding.
In addition, the books are really roomy and you can store in them not only bills or photographs. In some cases, you can order a book of metal with a good complex combination lock manual work and store there jewelry. By the way, this is another gift idea for a beloved woman and solving the issue of where to keep money .
