Here below is a very complete list of all the things you’ll need for your dorm room (and also just a bunch of things you’ll want).
1. The Envelope Anti-Theft Case
So your parents got you a sweet laptop or tablet for graduation, and along with the present came a 4 hour lecture on the many ways it’ll get stolen.

3. Home Dictionary Diversion Book Safe
And for those things that you wouldn’t want your roommate or anyone else visiting your dorm snooping through personal stuff (i.e. important papers, private journals, cash, etc,) consider investing in the Home Dictionary Diversion Book Safe to ease your mind.
4. Erasable Message Alarm Clock
So you drank a bit too much the night before and you’ve found yourself snooze that dreaded alarm clock. Suddenly, at 10:43 you wake up, realizing that in your sleepy haze you forgot about your 8:00 AM Psychology lecture. Whoops. With the message wake alarm clock that problem is solved. Hard to convince yourself you don’t have that brutal early class when it’s written in front of your face.
5. Shake and Wake Alarm Clock
This one is for those who have a hard time getting up but have early classes and don’t want to wake up their roommates with their absurdly loud alarm. Also for those who need a shake and not a ring to wake up. This band ties on comfortably and wakes you up with a stern vibration.
6. Portable Cup Holder
Thanks to one (or both) of the previous, handy-dandy alarm clocks, you’re up and ready for class. Well maybe not quite. You’re still in desperate need for some caffeine in your blood stream. With this colourful little gadget, you can clip your coffee mug or cup onto that tiny desk and try not to snore through your lecture.
7. Beside Storage
We all know dorms are pretty tight for space. This bedside storage unit helps alleviate that problem by riding you of a bedside table (or simply un-cluttering it) by giving a place for your books, magazines, kleenexes, glasses.
8. iHome Desk Organizer Speaker Lamp
Another cluttered space you’re going to want to keep clean is your desk. This lamp doubles as a desk cup so you can store all of the pens, clips and scissors in there and conserve a bit of (much needed) space. Plus, it also acts as a speaker so you can de-clutter your desk from those too!
9. Rakku Shoe Wheel
Don’t waste precious space in your itsy-bitsy closet for your slight shoe addiction. Stack em’ up in the efficient Rakku shoe wheel that allows up to 30 pairs to fit snuggly in you closet– minus the mess.
