How big a box?
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.
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).
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?

I just got spam from Osiris Schmuck.
Ironically, it was for Viagra.
Heh. Heh heh heh. That's actually brilliant.

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?

You know, I think it is great that one of our team members can still be here as a consultant, despite the fact he lives on the other side of the country. And I realize that the projects he's working on right now require a lot of face time. But I'm sorry, going into the ops room and seeing him video teleconferenced in and projected onto the huge screen with no one in the room is just freaky.
I was really quiet and didn't cross in front of the camera and avoided looking at the screen. But it still seemed like voyeurism.

Unfortunately, she lives in Mass and I have to leave right after Christmas for the MLA. I found a site that has a pink cash box for express delivery, so I think I'm going to go with that.
Also, even more unfortunately, I'm now earwormed with the SNL Al Gore "lockbox" sketch.
