All these items can help students organize their rooms, stay hydrated and get a good night's sleep all while managing distractions. Entertainment Essentials No one wants to study all the time, so having some entertainment essentials on hand is always appreciated. This could include anything from board games and playing cards to video game consoles or streaming devices. A TV with streaming services is also great for catching up on movies and shows (if allowed). And don't forget about books! Whether they prefer physical copies or e-books, there are plenty of options out there that they'll love. Decorative Items Dorms aren't known for being cozy spaces but there are lots of creative ways to add some personality to a student's room without breaking the bank. For example, rugs can brighten up any space and provide comfort underfoot; string lights add a touch of warmth; wall art adds color; and posters are great for spicing up blank walls! These small touches will make any dorm feel like home in no time. Conclusion: Whether you’re shopping for your own kid or someone else’s, we hope this list has given you some ideas for the best dorm gifts out there! Functional items such as storage organizers, cleaning supplies and headphones are essential for keeping the space organized; entertainment essentials such as board games or TVs will bring hours of fun; decorative items like rugs and wall art add personality to any room. With these suggestions in mind—and maybe even adding your own spin—you’ll be sure to find something special that will make any college student smile!
