Wishlist Dorm Beauty Kit

Aug 2025

Campaign Concept

Theme: “Wishlist Dorm Beauty Kit” – Back-to-Campus Edition
Hook: From lip balm to body butter — wishlist your dorm glow-up kit and share it with the people who’ve got your back. 💁🏽‍♀️📬

How It Works:

  1. Prompt students to create or update their wishlist with dorm beauty and skincare essentials.

  2. Encourage them to share the wishlist with family or gifters using your built-in share link.

Highlight that this helps givers “shop with confidence” — they get exactly what’s needed, no guessing.

Industries Best Suited For

Teen & Gen Z Skincare Brands

Cleanser, toner, pimple patches, SPF — the wishlist becomes a checklist for dorm life.

Body Care & Hair Care Retailers

Shampoo, dry shampoo, body mists, razors — everyday use items are perfect to include in a dorm beauty kit.

Beauty Brands with Minis, Travel Sizes, or Kits

Compact, routine-ready items thrive in small dorm spaces. These are wishlist-friendly and gifting-easy.

Gifting-Friendly Retailers

If you already see gifting activity (holiday, birthdays), this campaign extends that behavior to the back-to-school season.

Why This Campaign Could Work

Dorm Move-In = Gifting + Glow-Up Moment

Students are building out their dorm life — and that includes routines, essentials, and glow-up gear. Let them wishlist their must-haves and easily share it with gifters.

Sharing Drives Conversion from New Sources

When students share their list with friends, parents, or roommates, you gain new traffic and conversions from shoppers who weren’t previously part of your funnel.

Streamlines Shopping for Givers

No one wants to guess what their college kid needs. Wishlists serve as pre-built beauty kits that make giving easy and personal.

Great for Driving Multi-Item Orders

Skincare routines, daily essentials, and beauty tools are often purchased in sets — shared wishlists naturally increase AOV and basket size.
