A safe is a useful storage vessel that protects important items. If you recently had one installed in your home, you may wonder what to store in it. Here’s a rundown of items that individuals tend to place inside their safes. 

4 Items to Keep in a Safe

1. Cash

Sometimes it’s useful to have a supply of cash on hand. There isn’t always time to head to the bank before a trip to a cash-only restaurant or a hair salon where you need to tip. By keeping money in your safe, you can access it at any time, while keeping it fully secure.  

2. Identifying Documents

Some documents are inconvenient and/or costly to lose, including your birth certificate, Social Security card, and passport. By keeping these items in your safe, you ensure you always know where they are. If you need them on short notice, you’ll also have them handy at home.

3. Safety Deposit Keys

Don’t keep the key for your safety deposit box on your key ring. If that gets lost, you may not be able to get into the box, creating a major headache with your bank. By stowing the key in your safe, you’ll eliminate the possibility of it getting misplaced. 

4. Jewelry

A regular drawer or even a special box is not a very secure place to stow your jewelry. Valuable earrings, necklaces, and rings are investments, so treat them as such by prioritizing their safety. With a safe, you make sure they’re protected and ready to become family heirlooms.
