FROM THE MOUTH OF BABES… If you are still needing a gift, I asked last year’s high school graduates to tell me, other than the essentials, if they could only take 3 things to their dorm, what would they be? Here are the top 5 favorites for girls, boys or both. I put M beside those items that would allow for a monogram
Girls: 1. Silk pillowcase-M: https://amzn.to/2BbmZUU 2. Umbrella-M: https://amzn.to/2Y1X8rH This was ranked as the top umbrella by several travel sites due to its ability to stand up to the wind and not break. 2b. Umbrella case: https://amzn.to/2Azg8ov This may be completely uncool but I thought it might be a good option since water and laptops do not mix. 3. Electric kettle: https://amzn.to/3dZtMQo These are petite and portable. Great for teas, hot chocolate, and noodles. 4. Travel Make-up bag-M: https://amzn.to/2Y0XIGg One of the best features of this bag is that it has a strap to put over the luggage handle that makes it not only perfect for storage but also travel! 5. PJ Harlow-M. https://amzn.to/2UKJS8V I have never met anyone who did not LOVE these pajamas.
Boys: 6. Tile: I have provided two links for these: a single https://amzn.to/2MUMMTZ and a double pack https://amzn.to/2zv2hPu. This is a locator in the event something is lost. I would highly recommend these for keys and backpack. 7. Hydroflask: https://amzn.to/3dWEsPD there are typically water fountains throughout campus for filling up the bottles on their way to class. 8. Lap desk: https://amzn.to/2B5f0J9 While some students may use their desk to study, the majority will tell you they sit on their bed. Its adjustable and portable. 9 Desktop fan: https://amzn.to/2MYSpAA This small desk fan not only will keep cool air circulating but also will act as white noise. 10. Charging Station: https://amzn.to/3e2rtvU Most updated electronics charge wirelessly. This is compact and will charge the phone, AirPods, pencil, and watch all at once.
Boys and Girls: 11. Long charging cords: https://amzn.to/3fohUre This one comes in 3 bold colors for easy ID. 12. Silvon pillowcase-M: https://amzn.to/3hrcDB0 This is a fav at my house and we’ve seen it work! This pillowcase has silver woven throughout it thus it fights bacteria on your face. Perfect for those late nights. 13. My Pillow: https://amzn.to/3fnpeTZ They do give you a buying guide to find the appropriate size. The best feature is that it is washable!!! 14. Steamer: https://amzn.to/3e0OzmF This is more efficient than storing an iron and ironing board. 15. Single Coffee Maker: https://amzn.to/30GbsHX This is compact maker that uses pods, which are easy to store in their very small spaces.
