Someone in your life home for the holidays?  Give them something that will make them the hit of the dorm when they go back for second semester.

spilt milkSpilt Milk Cereal Bowl

This adorable bowl looks like it has milk spilling over the sides.  But it’s not just clever- is nice and deep, perfect for late night bowls of cereal or microwaved macaroni and cheese.  Plus, it’s silicone, so it’s easy to clean and won’t break when its thrown in a box for storage over the summer.

Silicone cereal bowl, $13.99 at Perpetual Kid


pick your nose cupPick your nose paper cups

What’s better than cheap beer in your dorm room with friends?  Cheap beer consumed out of ridiculous paper cups with hilarious noses!  I call dibs on one with a mustache!

Pick your nose cups, $10.75 at Amazon


red vinesRed Vines Tub

I ate an unholy amount of these in college.  A tub of these in your room = instant visitors.  Probably best reserved for those traveling back to campus by car, so as to avoid overweight bag fees.

Red Vines 4-lb Tub, $10.66 on Amazon


magnetic strips

Wood Grain Magnet Strips

Those quilted flower-fabric bulletin boards are SO 1990s.  Try something sleeker and more modern for hanging those embarrassing pictures of her Saturday-night antics.
Magnetic Strips with 6 super-strong magnets, $8 at Velocity Art and Design
