    A fun bedroom decoration idea: strands of mini lights that have a particular theme or simple rope lights.

  2. Katie says:

    Every dorm room needs a long mirror that’s easy to hang on the inside of the closet door!

  3. I love the mirrors, the little lights, the adorable comforter set, everything!

    One of the best things about dorm life is decorating your dorm room.

  6. Lovely Lisa says:

    We were big fans of those bed risers that make your bed higher so you can fit more under it, and so your bed is less likely to become the couch!

  7. Erin says:

    I think a boyfriend pillow for reading in bed is a fun extra.

  8. Lisa says:

    We found the mini-fridge to be an essential!

  9. Charlene says:

    A message cork board is a must for pictures, messages and fun

  10. Rosemarie says:

    For your dorm bed: make a pillow by simply stuffing and sewing up a favorite t-shirt (one with your high school or town name on it) — it’s a reminder of home and a great conversation starter.

  11. Kathleen says:

    Love the colors of this ensemble!

  12. Liesa says:

    The mini fridge is important, and the underbed containers help with storing clothing and shoes. Also, a throw for the bed is wonderful.

  13. Kathi says:

    I love this ensemble! Colors are great! I think the perfect addition to the dorm room would be a notebook FILLED with all of the needed information of not only the school but for the city/town that you are in. From maps, to emergency info, to menus from all kinds of take out places, thrift stores for needing something quick – cheap! I know we all become so dependant on our laptops but those can fail at times :(

    I think a desk is a must for a dorm room–one with plenty of space to do homework, plenty of spots to put papers, books, pictures, etc.

  15. renee says:

    I emailed my sister (donna at optilink dot us) about this giveaway–I think her daughter would like this bedding!

  16. pami says:

    I would love to win, the colors are even my wedding colors how cute for a small room or for my niece who is going to college this fall like next week!!!

  17. Donna says:

    love this set! Would go great in my daughters dorm room! The best part of being in college is receiving “care packages” I would love to see more items for care packages! Love those busy bees!!

  18. rashelle says:

    chocolates in every corner and under every pillow or in every draw ( got to have back up!! ) for those stressful exams!!! and pig out sessions!!!!

  19. This is an awesome prize pack. Thank you for giving your readers this wonderful opportunity! Would love to win!

  20. I think those new themed mice & laptops are functional & fun for any dorm room!

  21. Holly says:

    I love the pink it would spark up my daughters dorm room.

  22. Donna says:

    A desk with plenty of storage is a must. My daughter would love this bedding!!!

  23. Chrissy says:

    My dorm room, and those of two of my daughters, were plastered with family photos. Got to keep that family connection when you’re away from home!

  24. Tricia Z says:

    I subscribed! My daughter would absolutely love this set- especially the colors! Thank you!

  25. Amy says:

    The most useful thing was the shower tote to carry all the essentials, they seem to be much cuter with compartments, not the bucket I used!!

  26. amy p says:

    I think a chalk board would be a fun thing to have

  27. amy p says:

  29. Rebecca says:

    this is a great giveaway. i think that having a mini fridge is a great addition to a dorm room…great for keeping snacks and drinks handy instead of always heading to the vending machine and spending a fortune!!

  30. Becca O. says:

    Every dorm room needs a good study lamp and desk! :)

  31. Peggy Gorman says:
