The Gift Box Safe from Barska is a diversion safe that securely hides valuables in plain sight, among trinkets, reading materials and bookshelf ornaments. This book safe is constructed of solid steel; the exterior is wrapped in a textured floral print paper and finished with a bow to enhance the safe's disguise. A hinged steel door is concealed under the lid of the gift box, and a pair of access keys comes with the safe.
