32 Essential Dorm Room Items Available on Amazon Now

Navigating dorm life (and fitting your whole life in a tiny dorm room) can be daunting. Luckily, when it comes to the necessary items (like sheets and a shower caddy) and the creature comforts (a cordless vacuum and desk mirror, for instance), we've done the homework for you. All of the items on our list can be easily purchased on Amazon so you don't have to spend extra time shopping or waiting for packages. We've also made every effort to ensure all of the items on this list work for someone on a college budget, so most of these products cost less than $100 -- save for a few things like a waterproof speaker and gigantic throw blanket that are worth the splurge. That means you won't have to spend all of your hard-earned summer money on these wish list items. Also, the majority of the products are available with quick Amazon Prime shipping, so even if you're ordering at the last minute, they should arrive by the time move-in day rolls around. (If you don't have a Prime subscription, now might be the time to sign up for a free trial.) Amazon dorm room essentials under $25 Space-saving hangers Most dorm room closets aren't exactly spacious, so these space-saving hangers -- each capable of holding nine garments -- are a game-changer. The rotating hooks let you hang garments horizontally for drying and vertically for maximizing space. They're one of those things you never knew you needed, then you can't function without them. If your parents are concerned about the number of suitcases you're bringing on move-in day, these are for you. $14 at Amazon Close Hanging photo display Being away from home (especially for the first time) can be a big adjustment. Filling your dorm room with photos of your loved ones is a great way to feel connected to your family and friends and also decorate your dorm room. This hanging display is easy to put up, holds 24 photos total (between two strands) and will go well with any other decor you choose for your space. It's also easy to swap out pictures on the little clips so you can update the photos as you make new memories. $10 at Amazon Close Clip-on light If you're a night owl but don't want to have to turn on bright overhead lights or disturb a roommate at night, then this clip-on light may be just the thing you need. It can clip onto your headboard or desk and provide enough light for any late-night studying or social media scrolling. It's battery-operated, so it doesn't come with any pesky cords either. $15 at Amazon Close Portable shower caddy tote The shower caddy is a small but mighty addition to the dorm room shopping list. Students can stock it with their favorite products and haul it to and fro. (OK, just to the bathroom and back.) This one has plenty of room for shampoo, lotion and other toiletries. Bonus: Color combos include teal and orange, navy and mustard, or the more subdued solid apricot or gray. $16 at Amazon Close Bedside storage caddy Space is tight in most dorm rooms, and a night stand is a luxury only few are given. A storage caddy that hangs on the side of your bed allows you to use your laptop, read and snack before bed without the inconvenience of getting up and putting everything away. Now you can do it all without ever leaving your bed. $15 at Amazon Close Long charging cable Outlets can be a scarcity in dorm rooms and there's nothing worse than not keeping your phone nearby while it's charging. Speaking from personal experience, having to sit near the nearest outlet while your phone is charging, rather than comfortably scrolling in bed, is awful. Long phone chargers fix the obstacles that lofted dorm beds and limited outlets raise. $7 at Amazon Close Vanity desk mirror The most important thing to do when setting up your dorm is to be sure you're making the most of an often small space. A desk vanity mirror was a lifesaver for me when I was living in my college dorm. A small vanity mirror is perfect for doing your makeup or hair without having to use a bathroom mirror. $17 at Amazon Close Hossejoy wood adjustable desktop storage organizer Dorm rooms are notoriously narrow, which is why vertical storage is so important. This affordable desktop organizer will maximize your space and help keep your desk neat and tidy. It's easy to assemble, and it can be set up in varying shapes and lengths, in case you'd rather use it on a dresser or countertop. It comes in both black and white. $24 at Amazon Close Amazon dorm room essentials under $50 Wheat straw dinnerware set Even if you're on a meal plan and eating most of your meals in the dining hall, chances are you'll also order takeout or whip something up yourself -- at least once in a while. That's where this wheat straw dinnerware set will come in handy. It's microwave- and dishwasher-safe, lightweight and durable -- plus you'll appreciate not having to use paper plates while eating dinner on your bed. It comes with four plates, bowls, cups and sets of silverware, so you can share with your roommate and friends. $37 at Amazon Close Handheld vacuum Crumbs will hate to see you coming with this powerful, cordless handheld vacuum. You'll thank yourself later when mystery floor fuzz, hair or chunks of cookie magically appear on your floor. It comes with multiple attachments, has a long-lasting battery, a washable reusable filter and weighs under 2 pounds, which is ideal for dorm life. It'll easily tuck away in a closet until that next mess comes along. $39 at Amazon Close SunnyPoint 3-tier rolling metal storage organizer Storage is tough to come by in a dorm room setting, so this three-tiered storage cart is a great way to make the most of a little extra space. It may even fit underneath a dorm desk. The fact that it rolls is a big perk too. The possibilities are endless when it comes to what you can to store in it: Think clothing, toiletries, cleaning supplies, text books or even plants if that's your style. $44 at Amazon Close mDesign slim metal trash can Dorm rooms often come equipped with a trash can, but it's usually the plastic variety without a lid. Chances are it'll start stinking a few months into the school year, especially if you throw away food. That's where this mDesign metal trash can comes in handy. The sleek trash can is perfect for a dorm room setting due to its compact size, durable construction and lid that has a step pedal for hands-free opening. It may not be the most glamorous dorm room purchase, but you'll be happy to have it. $27 at Amazon Close A Nice Night faux fur reading pillow Chances are you'll be doing a lot of studying in your dorm room, and a reading pillow can make your time spent on schoolwork much more comfortable. Ditch the old office chair in favor of using this faux fur pillow on your bed, or the couch or floor, for that matter. Plus it's light enough that you could lug it anywhere. Plus, your back and neck will appreciate all the support. This faux fur reading pillow also comes in over 15 colors, so you can choose the one that best fits your dorm decor. $38 at Amazon Close Mengersi Cow twin XL sheets An inconvenient fact about dorm beds: They are generally twin XL size, which means normal twin sheets won't fit. This cotton-blend set conforms to dorm sizing, and as an added bonus, it comes in a trendy cow print. Other prints, including plain gray and blue butterfly, are also available. The three-piece set includes a fitted sheet, flat sheet and pillowcase. $30 at Amazon Close Reef Water Court sandals A pair of shower sandals is a staple of dorm living. This Reef pair goes above and beyond: They've got traction to prevent slipping and they're nice enough to wear outside the bathroom. Quality construction means your Water Court sandals will last beyond dorm life. Available in black, olive, pink and white on Amazon. $34 at Amazon Close Linenspa Gel Infused Memory Foam Mattress Topper, Twin XL Dorm mattresses are unbearably uncomfortable, and this mattress topper is exactly what dorm dwellers need to transform a sleeping experience. Two inches of memory foam add extra cushioning and provide pressure relief. Plus, cooling gel beads help regulate body temperature at night. Be sure to buy a twin XL since that's the standard size mattress for most dorm rooms and residence halls. $43 at Amazon Close Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) smart speaker The Amazon Echo Dot is a helpful addition to any dorm room. Students can ask Amazon's smart assistant Alexa about the weather, create shopping lists, set alarms for class and more. The Echo Dot also boasts a quality speaker and connects to smart devices. $32 at Amazon Close MCleanPin laundry hamper Spare future roommates from stumbling on your dirty socks. A clothes hamper is a must-buy when it comes to dorm living because everyone needs to collect their laundry. This one is great because it comes with two removable bags, genius for rotating out laundry loads. The handles and lid are helpful, too. $30 at Amazon Close Amazon Basics 5-piece bedding set This set from Amazon Basics contains everything needed to make up a dorm bed. Comforter, sheets, sham and pillowcase, conveniently sized in Twin XL. The coral medallion print is particularly nice, but if that's not your style, there are 10 additional colors. Bonus: The set is Made in Green by Oeko-Tex, which means it meets environmental standards. $37 at Amazon Close Uber Appliance Mini fridge A tiny fridge is incredibly convenient to have on hand. College students will love keeping beverages, food and skincare cool in their own fridge. This one from Uber Appliance has a removable shelf and holds up to six cans or four bottles of water. It comes in red, silver, blue, white or black. $45 at Amazon Close Richards Homewares underbed storage Even if you have to raise your bed, maximizing dorm room space with under-bed storage is a great idea. This set of drawers makes perfect use of that empty space. Each molded plastic drawer has a lid and slides out of the metal frame for convenient access. $40 at Amazon Close Huanuo Lap Desk Most dorm rooms are have a limited amount of space for studying. While it's great to be able to work from your desk, sometimes that can get old pretty quickly. Buying a laptop desk allows you to work from anywhere in your dorm. $37 at Amazon Close Homedics Sound Spa Whether your roommate snores or your neighbors are late-night partiers, dorm life is loud. So if you don't want to spend the night tossing and turning, a white noise machine can make all the difference in the world. The Homedics Sound Spa is our top pick for the best white noise machine overall, and for good reason: It's inexpensive, portable and it plays six calming nature and sleep sounds. $21 at Amazon Close Brita water filter pitcher When you're locked in your dorm studying (or coming back from a night out) there's nothing better than a refreshing glass of water. Avoid drinking unfiltered potentially contaminated tap water by using a Brita. Simply fill your Brita with sink water and either put it in your fridge or leave it out on your desk and you're set. $31 at Amazon Close Dorm room essentials under $100 Herschel Novel Duffle College life is great, but you also need a weekend escape here and there -- whether it's exploring a new place, visiting friends or heading home to see if your parents will do your laundry. In any case, you'll want a durable, spacious duffle bag when you travel. You can't go wrong with the Herschel Novel duffle: It's sleek, spacious, durable and eco-friendly (made from 100% recycled post-consumer water bottles). It comes in 8 colors, so you're bound to find one that fits your style. $95 at Amazon Close Ruggable rug in Absida Sage Even a 2x3-foot rug can work wonders in a dorm room, both for decor and comfort. Ruggable's fun rainbow prints liven up even drab spaces. And even better, Ruggable rugs are stain- and water-resistant and can be washed in any laundry facility. Spills? No problem. Peel the top layer from the rug pad and just toss it in the wash. $99 at Amazon Close Americanflat Over the Door Mirror Getting ready for a night out and need to see the whole fit? Having a full-length mirror eliminates the struggle that comes along with not having a bathroom of your own. A full-length mirror that hangs over your door is the best, most convenient way to test out different outfits and get ready for a night out. $50 at Amazon Close Vornado VFAN Jr. Vintage Air Circulator Fan Most dorms don't have AC, which means they can get uncomfortably stuffy in the fall and spring. The solution? Vornado fans, which have a reputation for being powerful and reliable. This stylish table fan is small enough to stow away but big enough to circulate all the air in your room. Bonus points for the neat vintage vibe. $60 at Amazon Close Dorm room essentials under $200 Soundcore Boom 2 A waterproof speaker may not have been on your dorm room wish list, but hear us out.

Never Seen a Lower Price on the Garmin Forerunner 255 GPS Smartwatch Than Today, This 4th of July

America's birthday is, of course, a cause for celebration. So is a 3-day holiday weekend that you can spend grilling and hanging out with friends and family. And if you're a runner, triathlete, or other kind of dedicated fitness fanatic, there's one more reason to light up some fireworks this weekend — Amazon's just dropped the price of the awesome Garmin Forerunner 255 GPS running smartwatch to an all-time low of just $200 (43% off). Any Garmin deal is going to get the attention of athletes and fitness buffs simply because Garmin has long been the gold standard of running watches for training, measuring your health data, and keeping you on course with its advanced GPS. But when one of Garmin's most popular models suddenly nosedives to its lowest price ever thanks to an Amazon 43% off sale, it's going to trigger a mad rush that might cause supplies to dip and dip fast. See at Amazon The Garmin Forerunner 255 is like having a running coach on your wrist. As you begin to train for your next race, the Forerunner 255 will have tips and personalized workout suggestions ready for you every day, based on your recent workout and also the health and sleep metrics it measures all day and night. The Forerunner 255 will give you a week's worth of suggested workouts, and then be able to adapt and modify them on the go based on your performance and recovery. The Forerunner 255 comes with free adaptive training plans from Garmin Coach for 5K, 10K, and half-marathons, and with the Garmin Connect smartphone app, you can also create and modify your own custom workouts. Punch in the course information for your upcoming race and the Forerunner 255 will customize your workouts and even give you a predicted completion time based on that specific course, the weather, and your training. The Forerunner 255 uses Garmin's SatIQ tech to keep its GPS optimized at all times, and when the satellite coverage is compromised by tall buildings or dense woods, the SatIQ can resort to Multiband GNSS to ensure your location is detected with great accuracy. Even with the GPS mode activated, the upgraded battery of the Forerunner 255 will last up to 30 hours, and when it's just being used as a smartwatch, that duration grows to an incredible 14 days before needing a recharge. In 3 short years since replacing the Forerunner 245, this Garmin running watch has become a huge favorite, especially among runners and other athletes. That's why this Amazon deal shaving the price down by 43% to an all-time low of just $200 is such a big deal, and a deal you really will not want to miss. See at Amazon

This Growth Stock Has Skyrocketed 225,000% -- and It's Still a Screaming Buy

Amazon has taken investors on a wild, but exciting ride, since its IPO in 1997. Today, Amazon reigns as the leader in e-commerce and cloud services, while expanding into new markets. This stock remains a screaming buy because of its huge growth opportunities. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Imagine investing $1,000 in a stock that seems to have a lot of promise. You watch the stock move higher, then lower, then higher again. However, you remain steadfast throughout the volatility and hang on for the ride. Twenty-eight years go by. You look at your brokerage account to find that your initial $1,000 investment is now worth nearly $2.25 million. This isn't a pie-in-the-sky scenario. Anyone who bought $1,000 worth of Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) shares at its initial public offering on May 15, 1997, and never sold would indeed be a multimillionaire today. This stock has increased by a staggering 225,000% -- and it's still a screaming buy. To say that Amazon has taken investors on a rollercoaster ride is an understatement. The stock delivered a gain of more than 2,600% in its first 19 months on the market. By the end of 1999, Amazon was up nearly 3,800%. The good times didn't last. Between late 1999 and late 2001, Amazon lost roughly 90% of its market cap as the dot-com bubble burst. However, the company had already planted the seeds of its future success by expanding beyond books into DVDs, music, gift items, home improvement products, software, and video games. During the first few years of the 21st century, Amazon added more products to its e-commerce platform. Amazon's share price steadily rebounded, too. The company had one of its most pivotal years ever in 2006 with its launch of Amazon Web Services (AWS). It didn't take long for AWS to become Amazon's biggest growth engine. The stock's spectacular gains following the market meltdown in 2008 and 2009 were largely due to AWS' explosive growth. Amazon's e-commerce business also enjoyed a major surge due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, Amazon sells nearly everything online (including cars, through its partnership with Hyundai). The company is the undisputed 800-pound gorilla of e-commerce with a U.S. market share of 37.6%. Its nearest rival, Walmart, has a market share of only 6.4%. AWS also dominates the cloud services market. In the first quarter of 2025, Amazon's cloud unit claimed a market share of 29%. Microsoft held the No. 2 spot, with a market share of 22%. Granted, AWS is growing more slowly than some of its rivals these days. However, it's still delivering strong growth, with revenue jumping 17% year over year in Q1. Amazon is arguably focusing more on its bottom line than ever before. Its profits soared 64% year over year in Q1 to $17.1 billion. Technology, especially the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, is helping the company boost its profitability. As it has in the past, Amazon also continues to move into new markets. It expanded into healthcare with the launch of Amazon Pharmacy in 2020 and the acquisition of primary care chain One Medical in 2023. Amazon plans to begin offering a satellite internet service later this year once all of its Project Kuiper satellites are in orbit. Sure, Amazon's share price is basically flat so far in 2025. However, I think the stock is still a screaming buy for three key reasons. First, AI presents a massive growth opportunity for AWS. Despite impressive advances, we're still only in the early innings of the AI transformation. In particular, agentic AI could spur tremendous growth in demand for AWS. I also expect Amazon's internal use of AI will continue to drive higher profitability. Second, Amazon's e-commerce growth story isn't over. CEO Andy Jassy correctly noted in the company's October 2024 earnings call that Amazon has only around 1% of the global retail market. He predicted that much of the retail business currently conducted in physical stores will move online over the next 10 to 20 years. I suspect that he's right. Third, a statement that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos made years ago is still true: "Your margin is my opportunity." I predict that Amazon will continue to disrupt other markets thanks to its innovation and scale of operations. Will Amazon deliver a 228,000% return over the next 28 years? Probably not. However, I think this stock will make patient investors a lot of money. Before you buy stock in Amazon, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Amazon wasn't one of them.
