Harry Potter book flaskHollow Book with Secret Flask ($65)
Yes, this one is a bit spendy, but if you’re stuck at a family reunion in the middle of nowhere, it might very well be worth it. Made from a real hardcover book, this book safe features a snug cutout for the included 6-oz flask. The pages are glued together securely and the magnetic closure makes sure your secrets (and booze) won’t spill. And since everyone on the planet has already read all the Harry Potter books by now, you don’t have to worry about someone actually trying to open it. (Other styles are available, if you want a book so boring that no one will go anywhere near it.)
