For anyone living in a small space, including dorm dwellers, what’s the one thing you need more than anything else? More space, of course. While you can’t actually expand that dorm room, you can maximize the space that you’ve got.
As they say on all those great home organizing shows like Clean House, ‘make use of that vertical space’. Plan ahead and pick up some modular, ready to assemble storage to take with you when you set your son or daughter up in their new room. That way, instead of running from store to store to find something that might work, you’ll be unpacked and organized in no time at all – and you’ll have the rest of the day to explore the campus and maybe even enjoy a nice lunch.

If you’re looking to send some sustenance to keep your dorm dweller fueled during finals week, here’s a great idea. Instead of snacks, send a tasty meal.
Quick, easy and nutritious. The gift of a delicious meal is also a great housewarming gift. Consider timing your gift to arrive just after moving day – the new homeowners will be ready to enjoy a first meal at home, but not yet ready to cook. How thoughtful!

Then she’s going to be needing a new dress. Or two.
There a million reasons why your dorm dweller needs bargain eveningwear. Even if she attends a TON of parties, most of these events will include basically the same crowd and she’s not going to want to wear anything over and over again. And, frankly, the odds are extremely high that any gown won’t survive the evening without at least one little spill or snag. After all – it is a college party.

It seems like everyone in my tween/teen crowd redid their bedroom this summer. Duncan and her power posse have been chat shopping for days. Looking at everything from lamps to bedding to floor cushions. And comparison shopping of course. And planning each added accessory with care. These are, after all, the first rooms they’ve ever decorated themselves. Never wanting to be left out of any shopping trip, I’m passing on one of my favorite surf spots for well priced, mod and funky decor and accessories.
Check it out, ladies. Let me know what you think! Enjoy Free Shipping on your $50 order at Design Public! 
PS: If you don’t know, ‘chat shopping’ is when you and a friend surf the same shopping site at the same time, chatting via instant messenger at the same time.

A care package of snacks and treats only goes so far. If you’ve been hearing nothing but how your poor dorm dweller is STARVING, here’s a simple solution. Order them some groceries.
It’s quicker and much easier than packing up a care package on your own. And much less expensive. Canned soups are great as are dry staples like pasta and rice. You can’t go wrong with mac and cheese. There are actually some very tasty shelf stable meals available these days which are a great choice for the dorm as no refridgeration is required. Add some energy food like nuts and dried fruits, a couple of little treats and your starving student will be starving no more. All with only a few clicks of the mouse! Love that!

When I went off to college, Merimeko bedding and decor was all the age. With their bright colors, bold patterns and simple lines they were (are) the epitome of Danish modern design (well, Merimeko is actually from Finland, but you know what I mean). Things have not changed so much. Today’s hottest dorm looks are bold simplicity once again.

Switching sides after 25 years. Imagine that! I’m going to give it a go. I’m shopping for a new computer and this time I’m going for a Mac. This is to replace my ’second’ computer. I use it mostly for surfing and music and photos and fun stuff like that. All of the things that are faster, easier and better in the world of Apple. I’m so excited I can hardly wait! I’m considering the new MacBook
The Mac is one of the most popular computers for college students. If you’re in need of a new Mac for someone who’s on their way back to school, now’s the time to buy. The Apple store is offering a free iPod Nano to college students with the purchase of a new Mac.
Shopping directly from Apple is great. They have the best selection and the newest products. They’ve also got a lot of refurbished products at unbelievably low prices. And… Get free ground shipping on all orders over $50!
