Book safe

Redemption lies within. This book safe is made from an actual book, although you won’t be able to choose the title yourself. But unless the thief or snoop is super observant, they shouldn’t notice the thriller among your romances or the fantasy within the classics. Not as sexy as a secret passageway, but still a little exciting.

Baby book for modern parents

I don’t know a single parent who dutifully filled in all the pages of their baby’s first year memory book.

These memories may not be as celebrated, but they’re just as important. And this book is just the thing to lighten up the mood at those mind-numbing gift opening sessions at baby showers everywhere.
