Regardless of whether you’re doing some shopping for your own dorm, or you’re a parent helping guide your soon-to-be college student in the right direction, there’s no denying that back-to-school shopping can be stressful. There are so many boxes to check: school supplies, dorm decor, storage solutions, clothes…the list goes on (and on and on). You could go in person to shop for the necessities, but that would probably a.) take hours b.) be expensive and c.) end in one of those “how are we going to fit everything in the trunk” moments. Or, you could rely on a one-stop shop for dorm essentials—like AliExpress.

AliExpress has everything from pencil pouches to ottomans with storage compartments at truly incredible prices*. As if they couldn’t sweeten the deal anymore, you can enjoy deep discounts on participating products during their Back-to-School Sale. To help get the ball rolling, we’ve laid out nine of our favorite finds from their epic sale below, solidifying AliExpress as our beacon for fun and affordable BTS shopping.
