Secret Hiding Places.  Not a common topic amongst friends, but it can be an interesting one.  One day, after getting distracted on Amazon (surprise, surprise) — I happened to stumble upon some fun hidden safe ideas.  I had no idea so many existed and it kind of made me chuckle.  However, it also made me want to share some of them with YOU!

Have you ever wanted to stash some cash or hide a piece of jewelry or something else that is private and personal?  I like to do it with cash.  I’ve always had a couple of books from Hobby Lobby that I use for that — pizza cash, tip for delivery drivers, Girl Scouts, etc.

I have a friend whose husband likes to take her pain killers (rut row) — and I remember her saying that he always found them.  I told her to hide them in her Tampax Box, because no guy is going to go looking there.  She thought that was brilliant.  Haha.  However, after today — I think you’ll all be surprised at how many options are out there.

If you have Smooth-Edge Can Opener (I have a Pampered Chef), you could turn almost any can into one of many hidden secret hiding places!  Here is one I’ve had in my pantry for years (it’s been empty though, haha).  The lid has already been removed and it’s set back in place.

Turn a can into one of your secret hiding places. More details at livelaughrowe.comAnd here it is with the lid off.  I thought you’d appreciate seeing how clean the edges are.

Turn a can into one of your secret hiding places. More details at livelaughrowe.comThis is a big can, so it would work great for bigger items and can be conveniently tucked away into the back of your pantry.  This would be a super inexpensive option too!!

And, let’s be honest, there are a thousand different reasons to put some of these to good use… especially if anyone in your household (or friends) might have sticky fingers.  The Chicago Crime Commission has stated that a burglar spends an average of 8 minutes in the victim’s home.  So, let’s put the odds in our favor and hide our valuables in plain sight!

Let’s take a look at some of these hidden safe ideas, also referred to as diversion safes.

Have you ever wanted to have a couple of secret hiding places? Maybe a place for cash, valuables,etc. Here are 17+ Hidden Safe Ideas that you can put to good use and no one will know the difference. livelaughrowe.com

  4. Hidden Wall Safe Electric Plug 
  5. Coca Cola Can — place in refrigerator, keep in a box of Coke too.

    A friend of mine moved into a new house and had her crown jewels hidden in a sock. Wouldn’t you know it but she got robbed. No one looks at socks except a golden retriever on the prowl! Makes you wonder how many “cans” get pitched after the fact.

      Hi Mary. Well, that sock certainly did the trick. I thought about the cans being thrown out too; however, if it’s being used as a safe, I’m certain there is a lot more care to ensure that they’re not thrown out. For me, I don’t buy a lot of tomato juice, so that can stands out like a sore thumb. Haha. Have a great day!
