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.

If she lives nearby, you can make it a bonding thing where you pick out the paper together, maybe have a spot of lunch?
