Add the Extras That Make It Theirs
Sometimes you want to spend a little more time creating a customized dorm bedding set for your college grad, and if that’s you, we’ve got the perfect add-ons to curate the cutest dorm bed.

The Shaggy Faux Fur Sherpa Blanket is a great choice for grad students who love all things snuggly yet stylish. It features shaggy faux fur on one side and soft sherpa on the other. It’s fade-resistant and incredibly soft, making it a go-to blanket for late-night study sessions or dorm sleepovers with friends.
