Pommes Frites is an Etsy shop that takes forgotten items and turns them into awesome & useful things to have and wear. Everything in the shop is handmade by Miss. Kristen P. Texas.  One of her specialties is her hollow book safes, in which she takes a vintage book and turns it into a secret place to stash some of your valuables.  The books are hand carved, with the pages glued together but otherwise, left in tact. The hollow area is not lined in any way!  After carving with an x-acto, she takes the edges and sands them down with a dremel for a smooth finish, and then finished with a sealant.
The book is completely discreet, which means that it can be left in your bookshelf or laid out on your coffee table.  Check out what it looks like closed:

I'd like to see a money safe.
That is a pretty cool thing; something you only see in movies! Should make something that looks like a kitchen item that's really a safe.
maybe a flowerpot with a false bottom…
How about a banana safe …
What a cool movie prop this would be!
A safe that looked like a table would be cool.

They make small devices to store passwords. This kind of safe would be a great place to store those devices, which look like smartphones.
I would make one for a little pick axe. Time and pressure.
Love a flask safe in a self-help book! LOL!
Would love a coin safe like this with dividers to hold my change in the car
I would like to see a gun safe made like this. What a wonderful idea.
I'd love to see a book safe for jewelry – with little loops inside to hold rings and necklaces.

Thanks for the cool giveaway!
Wow, I would like to see a gun safe that looked like a lockable journal. That'd be cool.
My bil would love this! Safes designed to look like everyday household products, such as cleaning products would be great! Thanks!
I thnk that a soup can would make a cool safe.

A safe to look like a cake would be nice.
How about a roll of toilet paper where we could stash cash or jewelry?
I would love to see a Self-Help book as a safe.
I would like to see a safe disguised as a safe. No one would suspect it!
Picture frames… I like the 'hidden in plain sight' approach.
Globes!
Everyone has such good ideas! I would like a little jewelry safe that looks like a personal hygiene box.

I would like to see a safe to hold an extra key that doesn't look fake.
I would like a book that could be hollowed out for some special photographs lol

Some type of "whatnot" or figurine

My daughter would like a place to hide her diary from her little brother so maybe a bigger book cut out that it would fit in.

I think it would be cool if there was a DVD safe. I have a huge shelf full of DVDs and this would be fun to have some hidden ones.

Easy peasy — VCR safe. Probably could even fashion a secret compartment in there as most cases have some extra room.
I agree with a previous comment that a cookbook safe would be good since it could be kept in the kitchen away from the usual hiding places except for the cookie jar.
How about a kidproof safe thats not all that heavy, but would be secure from childrens eyes. Something that could be used to hide adult toys maybe, or xmas presents or something. Reasonably large but light enough to move around easily. I'm not worried about a burgler stealing my stuff, but I am worried about prying eyes that are already in my house
"Pride and Prejudice".
love it! hmm…maybe a set of dvd cases?…we have a ton of movies so it would be overlooked?
I am always looking for a place to hide my journal. Another book would be the perfect place.
