How many shekels do angels run these days anyway? I'm still looking for x-mas ideas.

evidently. Which is pretty cheap, considering.

Anyone have ideas of where I could find a box (or something similar) that would have a combination lock or that one could put a luggage-type lock on? My niece wants a way to keep stuff away from my nephew. She is bad at hiding (and he is good at finding), so I don't think something with a key would make sense. Plus, she's nine and the possibility that she might lose a key is also high.
If I could find something cute, and in pink, that would be ideal, but really anything that could be locked would be gratefully accepted.

How big a box?

Something like this? It's not pretty, but it does have a combination lock and is sturdy. We use them for storing music and headphones (the SO built a rack system that fits inside).

It doesn't have to be too big. I'd bet it's mostly going to be used for things like her iPod, Gameboy, and the key to her diary.

I sort of figured that something like that from an office supply would be a last resort, since it's a bit big.
Also, since you have them, can you reset the locks on those--say, if your older brother tortures the numbers out of you?

Great idea Vortex. I might do that. She also loves projects like that.
