Journals that can be secured are a way for girls to pour out their thoughts onto paper without fear that someone can accidentally (or deliberately if there are younger siblings) read the heartfelt entries.

From griping about school to giggling about boys, having the peace of a secure journal gives girls the freedom to express what they think about that and more. There’s no better way to make sure that private thoughts stay private with the Password Journal 2011 edition – a perfect gift under $10 for girls.

What makes the journal stand out from any other journal is that it has a security feature many journals don’t have. Using technology to bring tighter security, access to the journal is gained through voice activation.

For double security, the journal has a hidden compartment that takes a second password to be able to open it. Want to know if someone has been sneaking around trying to read your personal thoughts?

The journal has an alert that will tell you when someone has tried to get into your journal. The Password Journal 2011 edition is an electronic toy which has a microphone for recording the voice recognition password and it also has a pen and a special light.

The pen writes with invisible ink so that no matter where the user is, she can write whatever she wants – secrets, bits of songs she’s creating (if she’s a songwriter), or poetry – and no matter where she’s at or who’s watching, they won’t be able to see what’s written. The special light can reveal what was written. The journal is pastel purple in color, has a scroll design on the front and comes with cute stickers to personalize the book.

Another great electronic journal – this one made by Discover – is the Keep Safe Diary. This is an electronic diary as well and younger and older girls love it. Girls can store their secret crushes, their hopes and dreams for the future – and their beloved treasures, too.

Inside the diary is a compartment with a door that opens up to store everything from a friendship bracelet to the petals of a flower received from a first love. This diary comes with diary paper and a pink gel pen.

Using the included stickers, girls can personalize the front of the diary with their names or whatever else they’d like to put on the front. The Keep Safe Diary keeps intruders out of the diary through the use of the musical password. Whichever journal you choose, your girl is sure to be thrilled with the gift.
