Kensington Combination Cable Lock for Laptops

How it works:

A length of braided steel cable wraps around a secure immovable object. A lock located on one end of the cable inserts into the security slot on the device. This is usually a small rectangular hole located on the back or side of a laptop. Most laptops have this kind of security slot built into their chassis.

Portable Rechargeable Speakers

Portable Shower Bluetooth Speaker

This speaker easily connects to your smartphone and you can take it with you on walks, biking, around campus, or into the shower. It is waterproof with IPX7 rating. It comes with a handy removable suction cup and carabiner for easy portability.

Portable Charger Power Bank
We are all using our smartphones all day long. Though the batteries on these essential devices don't last as long as our use. A battery pack that has a 5,200mAh capacity would allow you to charge your phone several times to keep on texting, watching a video, and listening to music.
Our favorite portable charger that goes everywhere is the Anker 321 Compact Power Bank

Kindle
All your books in one small flat convenient package. Even some textbooks can be found in Kindle format.

Portable Mini Steamer Iron

We got this little steamer for travel. As we try to pack as compact as possible when traveling we optimize all of the space in our luggage. While most of the time it works great during trips, some times some of our clothes come out with wrinkles. Most hotels do have irons, though you do not know if they work, how they work, and full blown ironing is time-intensive. Using this mini steamer quick and easy. It is light even with water. It hits up in seconds and does a good job of getting the wrinkles out with lots of steam. You can also select ironing intensity where at highest level it fill function similar to full-size iron. Considering how little space there is in dormrooms, this portable gadget would be great for quick smoothing out of your clothes before classes.
