New Gift for a College Dorm

New York, NY, September 07, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Moving into a dorm can be overwhelming, but decorating it should be fun and affordable. Decorate A Crate covers are magnetic, decorative, interchangeable, dry erase label-ready storage accessories that apply to containers most people already own, like shoeboxes. In addition to giving old containers a stylish face lift, here are 3 reasons why Decorate A Crate covers make the perfect dorm room decoration:

1. Green: Re-using paper boxes (shoeboxes, shipping containers, etc.) helps the planet. According to the EPA, 82 million tons of paper products were produced in the US in 2010.

2. More Play Time: Staying organized gives students about 40% more time for fun. According to the National Soap and Detergent Association, "removing excess clutter would eliminate 40 percent of the housework in the average home."

3. Low Commitment: Not only can you swap covers in seconds to update your decor, you don't need special tools to do so. These are perfect for college students who may change roommates, majors or color schemes on a semester-by-semester basis.

College students may be living independently (along with 2 roommates and an RA down the hall), so creating a personalized space for the first time is exciting. Encourage self expression for less (prices range from $7.99-$24.99 online and amazon.com), re-use a box, save a tree and organize life beautifully.
