Gift Ideas for College Students

If you’re like many parents, you’re struggling with ideas of what to get your kids this year for the holidays. Yes, you anticipate taking them to shop for clothes that they want, but you also want to give them something they will need. If you have any kids in college, there are always things you can get to help make their dorms feel a little more like home. Check out these college dorm survival kit ideas.

Bed and Bath. Give your college student something that will help to transform their impersonal dorm room. For a female, a blanket with initials monogrammed on it or a shower caddy full of her favorite toiletries and a new pair of rubber flip-flops are both ideas. Other options include purchasing an oversized pillowcase and filling it with a rug to put beside the bed, a reading lamp, a sleeping mask for blocking light while a roommate is studying late, or a pair of pajama pants for lounging.

Studying. When the library shuts down, it’s important that your college student be able to focus in the dorm. Consider stuffing his or her stocking with noise-cancelling headphones, a CD of classical music or even nature sounds that can act as white noise, an energy drink, or even a gift certificate for ordering pizza on those late nights studying. A mini voice recorder for making oral notes, highlighters, or even sticky note tabs all make great stocking stuffers.

Entertainment. A dart board and darts, a deck of cards, or the game of Twister are all great ways your college student can entertain his- or herself in the dorm room while making new friends. Consider getting a subscription for a movie rental service, either on- or offline, a few new DVDs, or even a few bags of his or her favorite popcorn.

Feature Friday: A Sleeping Mask with Style

A sleeping mask we think even Audrey Hepburn would approve of!

Few things are more frustrating as a college student than trying to sleep while your roommate pulls an all-nighter writing a paper or studying for that tough exam. But you don’t have to let their sleepless night cause you to have one as well: use a sleeping mask!

We like the Daydream Swarovski Sleeping Mask for all the ladies out there. This mask blocks light while keeping you looking like a queen. In the center of the mask is a crown decorated with Swarovski elements. There are also Swarovski elements in the middle of the flowers along the exterior. The mask provides light protection for the nose area and contains five different layers of fabric to keep the light out and you resting comfortably. It can also double as a cooling mask to cool your eyes or relax from a headache.

  
The mask fits every shape of head and hairstyle and can be adjusted with two stretch straps. And don’t worry about the extra task of hand washing … this mask can be machine washed in cold water.

If you are interested in purchasing the Daydream Swarovski Sleeping Mask or one of our unisex sleeping masks, please visit us at our website, TamperSeal.com. Sweet dreams!

Easter Essential: Cabin Cuddler Travel Blanket

That Easter basket is looking pretty full by now huh? Well we have one more product that will make the Easter basket for the holiday traveler complete: a travel blanket.

This warm micro fleece blanket is specially designed for people to sit in small spaces (like an airplane) and wrap around your body. What's so special about it? When you stand up, simply slide your feet out of the foot cubby, toss the flaps aside, and feel free to move about the cabin. Sitting back down is a breeze too, you don't have to worry about fussing with it too long, because its ready to wrap around your body already.

The Cabin Cuddler travel blanket comes with its own inflatable travel pillow that doubles as a carrying case. So if you ever oversleep on a flight you can quickly stuff the blanket into it and attach it to your carry on. The Cabin Cuddler is available on TamperSeal in red and black, and fits heights up to 6 feet.

Top tips for traveling abroad this new year

Traveling abroad can be exciting, but we all need to be prepared for anything.

First, find out the specifics for the country or countries you are traveling to. Each country has its own requirements. Make sure you understand their requirements and start getting your documents in order as soon as you can. Things do get lost in the mail and you need plenty of time in case that happens to you.

Traveling abroad can require a long flight. Comfort is the next thing you need to think about. 

Bring a travel neck pillow and blanket. Maybe some earplugs and an eye mask. 

Don’t forget each country has different entry requirements. So make sure you get your immunization shots.  Also make sure you check around for your exchange. You might not be able to use credit cards or ATM cards.  If you are a big shopper don’t forget to bring an extra bag or luggage.  Those fold down travel duffel bags are a great idea. 

Do I really need a blanket on an airplane?

Have you ever asked the flight attendent for a blanket and pillow? It comes out in a bag but they are not always clean.

That is why you should bring your own. We suggest the Cabin Cuddler, a micro-fleece travel blanket that has a wrap around design. Your flight can be cold and the Cabin Cuddler provides you with a personal, hygienic and comfortable feel from head to toe.

Stuff your own personal blanket in the carry-on bag, attach it to your luggage and you are on you way.
