US Postal Service should have offered this option several years ago!!!

Safe deposit boxes at banks are great just be careful to keep up with them... itemize a list and make your payments/dues. Also, banks have been known to move or remove deposit boxes for end of year escheat auctions even though they are supposed to contact owners and bank customers of lapse in deposit box accounts. I remember something like this happened a while back in California regarding this issue... I put the most recent business card and letterhead inside as contact information just in case...

Fire safes are great! should at least have one. We have two, one for local papers/backup CDs/tax papers/gun and one for photos/negatives/film...

the newer fire safes have the ability to drill a hole through a preset spot so you can anchor them to your floor or floor joist. if you store papers or collectibles be sure to use a gel pak for controlling off gassing or some of your stuff will turn yellow over time. I don't bother with keycode ones that use batteries, the tumbler and round key are better...

nifty knife holder... i just hope those skewers are fastened or glued on the other end or it's one big game of pick-up-sticks if it gets knocked over... I remember my mother doing something similar using a box or tin of rice to hold knifes, pens and pencils, et.al. - you can check that low-tech option at the counter of any asian take out place.
