With spring comes pollen. If you suffer from allergies, it can be a tough season to get through. A vacuum may not be the most exciting gift, but they can be extremely helpful when it comes to keeping your dorm room clean and allergies at bay. Plus, if your roommate is a slob, this is a must!
However, it’s important to choose a vacuum that doesn’t take up valuable dorm space. One option is this Featherweight Stick Lightweight Bagless Vacuum from Bissell. It even comes in four colors including black, blue, green, and purple.
A Desk Lamp
It’s going to keep getting dark a little early for a few more weeks, until we “Spring Ahead,” and even then, college can come with long nights of studying. A desk lamp is a college dorm room essential item that ensures you can complete your work.
This LED desk lamp from Wanjiaone actually comes with a few perks: USB charging port, color night light, dimming options, calendar, and pen holder. It can be a great space saver on your work space!
A Coat or Jacket
Cold weather isn’t going to go anywhere any time soon! Do you have a coat or jacket that will be comfortable when you’re walking from your dorm room to your classes?
The type of coat or jacket you choose will of course depend on your locale, but also your style, so do a bit of looking around to find that perfect fit. Our staff favorite? We love this cozy Orolay Women’s Thickened Down Jacket.
Slippers or Cozy Socks
With those cold tile floors, it can be a bit tough getting out of bed in the morning. To avoid having to touch your feet to those freezing surfaces, consider adding slippers or cozy socks to your Christmas wish list!
These Ultra Soft Spa Socks with Grippers from Dr. Scholl’s are particularly comfortable and long-lasting. They come in a variety of colors and designs, as well as sizes.
Coffee Maker
Have a few early classes coming up in your spring semester? If you’re allowed to, you may want to consider adding a coffee maker to your dorm room. Not only will it make coffee easily accessible, but it will also save you time and money.
