You're beaming with pride about sending your recent high school graduate off to start their first year of college. There's a lot to get them ready for, especially if they'll be living far away from the comfort of home. Whether you've started picking up items to help make their freshman year easier or you haven't even begun, we have bathroom dorm essentials they'll absolutely use. You might be surprised at what they'll really need.
ELANVEDA Essential Oils All Headache
You'll likely get a call from your kid when they're under the weather. Help them ward off headaches by sending them with ELANVEDA Essential Oils All Headache ($10).
Anthropologie Mae Towel Collection
A towel with a pattern on it means that no one will be able to mistake your kid's towel for theirs. The Anthropologie Mae Towel Collection ($14, originally $18) is a smart investment.
Havaianas Top Fashion Flip-Flops
The dreaded communal shower situation requires that you send your student off with their own pair of Havaianas Top Fashion Flip-Flops ($24).
ASOS Jersey Robe
If your student will be walking down the hall in order to get to the showers, an adorably soft robe like the ASOS Jersey Robe in Cloud Print ($42) will keep them warm . . . and covered.
Toothbrush Organizer
Since they'll likely be storing their toothbrush in a shared restroom, you'll want to get something that will safely protect it from germs and bacteria. Pick up the OXO Good Grips Toothbrush Organizer ($20) — they can also store their toothpaste in there to make sure roommates don't use it.
H&M Small Storage Basket
Mom won't be there to pick up after her kid this time. The H&M Small Storage Basket ($4) is a great catch-all for bathroom items like washcloths, extra razors, and other knick-knacks that would otherwise end up shoved in the back of a cabinet somewhere.
Goodwipes Hygiene Wipes
For those days when you just don't have the time to deal, you'll appreciate having these Goodwipes Hygiene Wipes ($10) stocked in the bathroom. Made of aloe, tea-tree oil, and peppermint, you can spruce up in just a few seconds in between classes.
Room Essentials Plastic Shower Caddy
If they're sharing a bathroom and don't have space to store things in the restroom, send them off with a Room Essentials Plastic Shower Caddy ($6). They can keep all of their bath essentials in one place.
Crate & Barrel Blue Suction Hook
Make sure they have a place to hang their towel and get them the Crate & Barrel Blue Suction Hook ($5, originally $6).
World Market "Do Not Disturb" Bathroom Door Hanger
Sometimes we all want a little bit of privacy. They can use this World Market "Do Not Disturb" Bathroom Door Hanger ($7) when they really need some private time.
Zadro Z'Fogless Shower Mirror
Having a Zadro Z'Fogless Shower Mirror ($20) is a nice little luxury, especially when using a shared space.
