It’s that time of year again where your little ‘summer lodgers’ head back off to university, or maybe they’re starting their first year. The feeling of an empty nest threatens to seep in, and you spend time wondering how they’re doing, if they’re feeding themselves, and if they’ve settled into their university halls or new home. Whilst they might bat off your daily calls and questions as to when they’re coming home, one thing they’re sure to accept is a lovely little gift for their university halls. It might even earn you an extra video call. Gifts for university students fall under just about any category, but we love bits that help in decorating a uni room, and of course, bobs that give them a push in the kitchen.
Sences Neroli Mini Reed Diffuser - 120ml
The first of our gifts for university students is a lovely little touch that’s equally delicious as functional - a mini Sences reed diffuser. Crafted with calming oils, the Sences Neroli Mini Reed Diffuser promises a delicious harmony of floral and citrus that will help your university student to relax and unwind. The refreshing, honeyed floral aroma of this adorable reed diffuser will beautifully grace their room - even when it’s overdue a clean. If yellow doesn’t quite match the uni room decor, or the interesting coloured walls in their university halls, there are plenty of Sences reed diffusers to choose from.
Fresh Coffee Soy Candle - Matte Jar
If anything picks up a university student on a sleepy day, it’s that morning hit from the aroma of fresh coffee. The Fresh Coffee Soy Candle is the perfect gift for their desk to give the morning motivation without the extra caffeine. Crafted from premium fragrance oils and vegan, non-GMO wax, these soy candles are both eco-friendly and luxurious. The aroma of fresh coffee is not only lovely on the nose, but is also said to enhance analytical thinking and attentiveness. With the extra notes of sugar and brandy, as far as gifts for university students go, these soy candles are sure to be adored.
Alice Milk Bottle Match Striker With Matches
If a lovely little candle doesn’t feel like enough, why not pair it with a match striker? The Alice Milk Bottle Match Striker with Matches is the perfect pairing with any of our soy candles - adding a super sweet touch to your students’ uni room decor.
Barnaby Wall Basket
If there’s one thing any student needs, it’s extra storage. Stationary doubles, more comfy university clothes get bought, bar crawl t-shirts are collected in abundance. Woven baskets are the perfect gifts for university students, giving them quick, easy organisation that looks nice in their uni room decor. The Barnaby Wall Basket is a great choice for smaller rooms, so they can have extra storage that hangs up, and hardly takes up space.
Bea White Bow Tie Bedding Set - 100% Cotton
Back-up bedding sets are absolute essentials in university halls. When the bed becomes the place to study, eat and nurse a hangover, the sheets may need changing a little more than usual. But in the fight for a free washing machine and dryer, a spare bedding set is more than helpful, making them the perfect gifts for university students. Whilst a white bedding set may feel like a risky choice for university halls, the Bea White Bow Tie Bedding Set is an affordable bedding option that makes it worth it. White bedding sets will go with all and any uni room decor, and this one stands out from the same old IKEA set in every other uni room. A feather-soft bedding set is the foundation of a good night's sleep, and this white bedding set is lovingly crafted from silky soft 100% cotton. You can rest easy knowing that your university student is sleeping well, whatever time they make it back to their university halls.
Lucie Linen Brown Striped Ruffle Cushion - 53cm
As we’ve covered, your little university student is going to spend more time huddled up in bed than we care to admit. So, let’s at the very least make their bedspread as cosy and comfortable as possible. The Lucie Linen Brown Striped Ruffle Cushion is a luxuriously plush linen cushion, matching any neutral uni room decor, and perfect to jump into after a long day studying. Gifts for university students should always be things that they may not want to invest in themselves, and unfortunately an event ticket may take priority over a linen cushion. That doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t love one!
Layla Natural Throw
In the spirit of perfecting their cosy and comfortable bedspread, of course a throw should be at the top of your list. The Layla Natural Throw is perfect for duvet days and lazy afternoons, and thanks to the neutral brown palette, this natural throw is relatively stain proof. Give your university students the gift of a snuggly cocoon when they’re missing your hugs, or don’t feel like forking out for the heating.
Maisie Handmade Mug - Milk White
Every university student has their favourite mug, and some even hide it in their room so no one else uses it. So, the Maisie Handmade Mugs are great gifts for university students. This sweet handmade mug features a subtle milky-white glaze and beautifully rustic stoneware base - it’s the perfect daily mug.
Henry Stoneware Cocktail Gift Set
When thinking about gifts for university students, people often turn straight to buying Prosecco, beers, or anything that will get their freshers week started. How about something a little bit more classy? The Henry Stoneware Cocktail Gift Set is a great choice for your university students going back to second or third year. This charming cocktail gift set is perfect for at-home cocktail evenings and gatherings, avoiding overpriced cocktails out in the bars.
Clovelly Baking Dish
Finally, gifts for university students are always a success if it gets them making something home cooked. The Clovelly Baking Dish comes in three sizes, and each one is sure to be the most adorable baking dish in your university halls kitchen. Buy a baking dish, along with a students easy cookbook, and your university student will be on to a winner.
