I think it’s reasonable to say that the majority of us don’t have a massive, built-in safe hidden in the wall of our basement. When it comes to hiding valuables, you may simply stuff them in a sock drawer or keep them high up on some shelf. However, there are actually a ton of clever, unexpected places to hide valuables that you should consider instead of the ol’ sock drawer. Here they are!
1. Faux Drink Cans
If someone were to break into your home, chances are they won’t be looking through all of the drink cans in your fridge or pantry. That’s why these fake pop can storage containers are so smart.
2. Hollowed-Out Book
An ordinary-looking book on the shelf doesn’t seem like a hiding spot for valuables. But a secret, hollowed-out version with a combination lock will do exactly that.
3. Fake Wall Outlet
There are a ton of different fake wall outlets out there that are actually designed to house small valuables. So genius!
4. Pill Bottles
If you don’t want to spend money on a decoy valuables container, just put keys and small valuables inside an empty pill bottle (make sure it’s one that still has the label on it so prying eyes can’t see what’s inside).
5. Counterfeit Mayo Container
Thoroughly clean out an empty mayo container, then roughly paint the inside of the container a white-cream color. It makes for the perfect storage space for valuables.
6. Hairbrush Safe
This may look like a regular hairbrush, but the hollowed-out section in the middle is the perfect hiding spot for cash, jewelry, and other small valuables.
7. Safe Cans
Those cans in the back of your pantry? Pretty sure no potential burglar would think to root through them for valuables.
