While your student may have already gathered the essentials, you may be wondering what to give as an unexpected, yet practical gift to send them off with. Dorm rooms are notorious for being small spaces that are expected to seamlessly transition from living and sleeping quarters to entertainment spaces and study zones. When shopping for your student, it’s important to consider gifts that are stylish, provide maximum comfort for a home-away-from home, and offer durabilty in a high-traffic, multi-use space.
Top 5 Bed and Bath Linen Student Gifts
We’ve curated a list of our top five favorite gifts for students that will bring the familiar comforts of home to the buzz and thrill of campus dorm life.
1. Set of Hand Towels
Knowing that you may hang and store your towels in a visible space in your dorm, the design of your hand and face towels can become a complement to the rest of the decor in your space. Our Bodrum, Antalya, and Ribbons collections go beyond the simple white towel and offer multiple design options for towels with piped trim, ribbons, and even scalloped edges.
2. Bath Sheet
Bath towels may be considered the standard essential in any bathroom however it’s a little-known secret that the bath sheet is the ultimate upgrade for true full-body coverage. At Home Treasures, our standard-size bath towels are 30x52” while our bath sheets are 36x75”.

A quilted coverlet is the perfect layer that can be an additional cover for warmth on top of a duvet as well as an opportunity to add color and texture. Our extensive collection of quilted coverlets come in over 50 patterns and more than 250 colors and fabrics. With each coverlet made-to-order, you can even customize the size to fit Twin-XL beds that are often found in dorm rooms.
