5 Dorm Room Must-Haves for Your College Student

Dorm

The owner of the popular Kirby and Company shop, Elaine Kirby, just opened a little sister store in Darien, CT. โ€œKirby Girl takes girls on their journey from their backpacks to their first apartment,โ€ says Kirby. This summer, sheโ€™s looking forward to helping college students make their dorm rooms a little more vibrant and colorful. These are the five essentials Kirby says everyone should bring with them to school:

Something from Home โ€œHometown pride is essential when heading off to college! We have loads of local hometown reminders in our Connecticut shop and can customize lots of dรฉcor and accessories for girls to have a touch of hometown pride in their dorm room.โ€

Low Tech Tools โ€œAn awesome motivational mug. A witty journal. A silly pen. In an age of tech overload, girls are going back to coffee, pen and paper for world domination inspiration.โ€

Kirby GirlFrames for Photos โ€œLots of them. Of their friends. Of their family. Of women who inspire themโ€ฆโ€

Personalized Water Bottles in School Colors โ€œBecause these girls need to stay hydrated while they run the world.โ€

Decorative Pillows and Cozy Throws โ€œEvery girl needs an awesome bed set up for lounging and getting cozy. Exam prep is much more effective on a happy, styled bed!โ€
