We all know that sending the kids to college one of the most emotional things to witness as a parent. It's stressful and quite scary to thing that they are off to a brand new start on their own. You want to make sure they are all set for a successful year and that they have all they need to feel like they are at home. There is a LOT to get done and chances are, you will forget something, which is why we built our own dorm survival kit. Things that you might have forgotten but that we guarantee your kids will need. No matter what you need for college, you can find it on FlipGive and give back to your team.

A dorm can often get sad. Homesickness comes easy, and one of the most efficient ways to avoid it is by building a home away from home that will be as practical as comforting. We have handpicked our favorite pieces of 2019, they will give that personal touch that will leave other students envious and make your kids feel at ease.
