Here are 10 college dorm room essentials they can’t live without…
Better Homes & Gardens 180 Thread Count Waterproof Cotton Mattress Pad Twin/Twin-XL
Only $14.89 (regularly $26.47)!
I put this mattress pad to the test and spilled some water on it and underneath stayed completely dry! So that’s a WIN for me that it does the job for such a low price! Plus, it has nice deep pockets, I think I could have fit it over two mattresses– possibly the mattress and box spring if there us one.
Bissell 3-in-1 Lightweight Corded Stick Vacuum
Only $24.88 (regularly $28.88)!
This stick vacuum is GREAT! It’s lightweight and comes in just 3 pieces so it’s easy to convert to a stick or handheld vacuum. As a handheld, I think it’s the perfect size to fit on an office or dorm room desk for easy storage and quick clean-ups when you need them. It’s also pretty powerful and not too loud, I love that it’s a trusted Bissell!

“This is such a cute keyboard set! The light pink it beautiful and it worked seamlessly right out of the box. As soon as I plugged in the USB it connected to my laptop on its own. Perfect set, for a great price!” – Hip Sidekick, Sara

Sara loves this Mainstays Small Space Writing Desk! It is the perfect size for a young teen’s room or dorm room and was exactly the right size to comfortably type on a laptop or do homework. Plus it even has two built-in shelves for storage. Put it all together with the super low price, and you really can’t go wrong.
One thing about the Uran Shop Lava Lamp…
This lamp matches the pink keyboard set I bought perfectly. It started working just under 2 hours after I plugged it in so you do need to be patient, but once it starts going it doesn’t stop. My one word of caution is to be careful taking the front sticker off. There’s a red hot sticker on the front which I tried to peel off and it left so much residue that I couldn’t scratch off and alcohol ruined the pink finish. Thankfully Walmart has a good return policy! I would either leave the sticker on or try a sticker remover next time. – Hip Sidekick, Sara

Here’s what one reviewer said about the Galanz mini fridge…
So I bought one of these for my son’s room and it’s awesome! If you turn the temp all the way up, you can freeze three water bottles in the freezer and it also semi-freezes three below it as well! There’s actually a good amount of room inside and in the door. I love that the front legs are able to adjust to keep it level. I had my mom buy me one for my room for Christmas because I liked my son’s so much. Can’t beat the quality for that price! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
