Things To Pack Your College Freshman + Bed Bath & Beyond Giveaway

Getting ready to send a kid off to college isn’t an easy ordeal, especially when it is your first child. With back-to-school and getting any child ready, there’s always the fun shopping to do. Shopping for a college student is so much easier when you only have to make one stop. I know you are thinking “not possible”, right? Wrong. It is possible if you love Bed Bath & Beyond as much as I do.

I’ve always loved shopping the aisles at Bed Bath & Beyond. I can always find something that I need and love. It is an even more perfect place to shop as my girl is packing up and heading to college.  They have EVERYTHING she needs to get going.  From bedding to personal hygiene products to bath items, she is pretty much set to take on college life.
Bed Bath & Beyond and their Harmon section is a destination for all their college needs and features some awesome Procter & Gamble products! And what is even more awesome is that if you spend $40 on P&G products at Bed Bath & Beyond, you will receive a $10 Bed Bath & Beyond gift card.

I put together this laundry basket for my daughter to at least get her a good start.

Some of the fun items that we saw for college dorm rooms were very affordable and good quality. Here are our top picks for dorm life necessities:

1. chairs and lounge seating

2. hampers

3. storage boxes and containers

4. bedding

5. speakers and docking stations

Since our kids are always introducing us to new slang, here are some new #CollegeSpeak terms we can teach them as we take them college shopping.

    This brings back so many memories from when I went to college as a freshman. I remember filling my parent’s den with all my goodies. It’s such an exciting time, and being prepared really does help.

    I can spend too much time (and money) at Bed, Bath and Beyond! I love how they have expanded their items to sell and make it super easy to get it all done while there!

    It must be so nerve wracking for parents to have to pack their kids off to go to college. This is some great information to help take some of the pressure off.

    I didn’t live in the dorms in college, since I lived close enough I could walk. I would say it has to be nerve wracking and stressful to try and remember packing everything that you could possibly need for moving into the dorms.

    Oh boy, I remember move in day, and the hardest part was watching my parents drive away. I can’t listen to “Wide Open Spaces” by the Dixie Chicks without balling because I think of that moment.

    This looks like a great list of products to get one ready for that move.

    Thanks for the giveaway! You pretty much covered everything a college student might need. I only have one more child in college, but he stays home with us. His university is fairly close so no need to stay in a dorm. I will share this post with my friends whose kids are staying in university dorms.

    When it comes to toiletries and laundry, I want to make sure that we won’t forget anything. I pack ahead for my daughter and slowly build up the stock. These are all accurate, we pack the same thing!
