I do not have any toys of my own to store, but I have other stuff to lock up. About a year ago, we had a friend of my cousin staying with us. After my cousin and his friend left, we found several things missing, including an expensive ring of mine. Since we could not prove anything, we were just out the stuff.

I have been looking at something I can lock valuables up in, but I just had not gotten around to buying one. My wife purchased one of these cases for her toys. It stored lots for such a small case. It is 12 inches by 4 inches by 4 inches. When I saw how much she got in hers, I mentioned that I would like something like that for my rings and necklaces.

The other night when I got home, there it was, waiting for me. She just did not want me to take hers. I would have talked her out of hers...except for the lavender color and the butterflies. She got me the black, of course.

It can be used for anything that will fit in it. It doesn't look like a toy box. The black is sleek and looks good with the silver accents. I can leave this out. It looks a bit like some of the cases for my musical instruments.

I make Native American jewelry, so I have a bunch of necklaces. When the black comes back in stock, I am going to get another one. This will be good for me to carry them with me when I am selling them. It is sturdy, and the finished edges protect the box.

As I use this for jewelry, I did put in a felt bottom. The inside is slick, black plastic, so smaller items will roll around. The silicone toys my wife has do not roll around much, but she put felt in hers as well.

This is a good, low cost case. It is a good size to take with you when you need to transport the stuff inside, or when you are going on a trip.

The case is plastic and metal. The case is not waterproof, so you don't want to submerge it...not that you would want to, but just in case you were wondering...don't. Use a damp cloth to wipe it off if it gets dirty.
