The 4 Best Gift Ideas for a Student
If you’re struggling to buy a gift for the student in your life, you’re in luck. Young people in education are one of the easiest groups to buy for, as there are always things they need. It doesn’t matter whether it’s your son, daughter, niece, nephew, or a family friend: they will no doubt be struggling for money to buy things while at university, so any gift you can give them will be more than welcome.
To help you come up with the perfect Christmas gift or birthday present, here are a few of the best ideas for students.
Food
The classic stereotype of students is that all they eat is noodles and potato chips. This may be a slightly unfair assessment, but when their funds are low, they are unlikely to treat themselves to gourmet snacks and meals out at expensive restaurants. Put a smile on that hungry student’s face by filling their fridge with a delicious foodie gift. Ordering a food subscription box to be sent to them at college is a great way to give them a tasty surprise every month, and you can find boxes for any foodstuff from cheese to hot sauce to chocolate. And for a bit more of a personal touch, you can even make them a food care package full of all those classic student staples.
Drink
If there’s one thing every student likes to do, it’s drink. When they’re not studying, most people in higher education will be hitting all the student bars and clubs buying inordinately expensive drinks. Instead, why not send them a lovingly crafted gift package full of their favorite tipples. Craft beers, flavored gins, and cocktails will go down a treat; just make sure they consume them responsibly!
Clothes
Everyone needs clothes, but they can be expensive, particularly for struggling students. By gifting them some trendy fashion accessories, you’ll be saving them a lot of money and giving them something they really need. If you’re not sure what clothes to get them, most outlets offer gift cards allowing the recipient to choose their own clothes, or you could have a rifle through their wardrobe to get an idea of their preferences. Brands like Rick Owens are perfect for young people and are sure to go down well.
Study aids
Your hard-working student will undoubtedly have a huge list of textbooks, stationery, and other study aids they desperately need yet can’t afford. Help them to alleviate some of this by giving them some educational tools as a gift. It may not be the most exciting present to open on Christmas Day, but they will certainly thank you for it. If you have a little more money to spend, a computer, tablet, or laptop to help them with their studies will make their day.
A streaming subscription
When they’re not working and partying, your loved one will no doubt be getting some well-deserved rest in their dorm room. A film, TV, or music streaming subscription is the perfect gift to help them wind down. Outlets like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Spotify are all great options.
