Five Dorm Essentials

I drove my  two sons to college recently.  Making them feel comfortable in their dorm is important for a successful school year. Besides dorm basics, here are five dorm essentials my sons can’t live without.

1.  Honeywell fan: A cool breeze can make all the difference if your dorm has no air conditioner. Found some on sale at Target.

 2.  Bean bag chairs:  Seating is all about comfort.  Beanbags are practical and stylish for a college dorm: comfortable and easy to move from dorm to common lounge area for TV watching and socializing. Found a couple of patterns from BeanBagBoss.com that my sons would love.

3.  Keurig Single Shot:  Make them feel right at home with a Keurig single shot with a wide selection of drinks: chi, tea, hot cider, hot chocolate, and coffee. Found this one on sale on Walmart.com.

4.  Sleep mask: After a long night of studying, they’ll need some sleep.  A sleep mask comes in handy with a roommate. Found this one on Etsy!

5.  Hand Steamer:  My sons love clothes and looking good.  A hand steamer is easy to use.  It keeps their designer clothes neat and wrinkle free.
