Why this gift works
The Handy Laundry Mesh Shower Caddy is a 9 by 8 by 6 inch mesh tote with a 6-inch-deep center section for large bottles and six outside pockets for small items. The mesh drains and dries quickly, two canvas handles let it hang from a showerhead, and it folds flat when empty, per Handy Laundry. This is the Blue color.
In a traditional dorm, the bathroom is down the hall and shared with a whole floor. A caddy that drains and dries fast keeps the routine tidy and the bottles out of the puddles.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A freshman in a traditional dorm
- Gym bags
- Travel
Think twice if
- They have a private bathroom
- They carry a lot of products
The catch
It holds one person's basics rather than a big collection, soft mesh has less structure than a plastic caddy, and at its price it works best as an add-on.
Skip if they have a private or suite bathroom.
