The best gifts for freshers are ones that will prepare them for the ups and downs of adulting. For example, a cookbook will prevent them from living off of instant noodles and baked beans for the rest of their lives. And let’s face it, that’s a fate worse than death. A planner is also a must-have, because let’s be real, they’re going to spend their student loan on beer and regret if they don’t keep track of their finances. A laundry hamper or laundry bag is also a lifesaver, because no one wants to live in a room that smells like a gym locker.

The products below come in handy during those late-night study sessions or when your fresher is nursing a hangover from a wild night out. These gifts may seem small, but they’ll help freshers spread their wings and soar like the majestic, slightly awkward birds they are.

1. The ultimate outdoor speaker – small, water-resistant and packs a loud punch

The University Party Speaker – £29.99

For those seeking a speaker that can match their wild nights and love for music, the JBL Go is the perfect choice. Despite its small size, these speakers are known for delivering high-quality sound that can keep up with any party or study session. Whether one is hanging out with friends or throwing a rager in their dorm room, the JBL Go will prove to be a reliable companion. After all, nobody wants to be known as the person with the subpar speaker at the party. Investing in a JBL Go is a wise decision that will undoubtedly be appreciated by both the listener and their future party guests.

2. 90L laundry hamper – discreet with separate baskets inside

The post 10 Best Gifts For Freshers Starting University in 2023 appeared first on Best Gift Ideas UK.

The answer to this is to buy funny gifts. Something semi-practical and entirely entertaining. So here’s our breakdown of funny gifts for millennials this Christmas.

*Note at the time of writing, all gifts are available for next day delivery right up until the 16th December as long as they are ordered by 7pm unless otherwise specified. For more information please double check the retailers websites.

1) Sushi Socks 

Amazing sushi socks for any sushi fan
£8.99 per pair or £39.99 for all 7

As we all know, no Christmas is complete without a pair of novelty socks. And what could be better than a pair of socks with sushi on them? Choose from 7 different designs, including top favourites salmon sushi, tuna sushi, prawn, masuzushi, octopus, red caviar and of course traditional Japanese egg. Each pair rolls up to look like an actual sushi dish and when worn displays the deliciousness of Japanese cuisine at its finest. Especially good for people who have smelly feet as they’ll finally be able to have an excuse!

Each pair is made from soft polycotton and they come in one size fits most (22 – 27cm)

2) Star Wars Themed Light-Up Chopsticks

Choose your allegiance with colours: Yoda Green, Darth Red or Luke Blue
£16.99

Continuing with our Asian theme we have some Light Sabre chopsticks. Officially licensed by Lucas Films, these bad boys are ready to light up at the sight of every hungover Chinese takeaway day. Perfect for people living on their own, or even better as a gift to people living together. Let each meal become a battle to remember.

3) The Ultimate Beard Bib

Bibs come in either white or black (we recommend white as it makes it easier to clean – unless his beard is grey). They also come with a nice little travel pouch for trips over to the parents, girlfriend or for their next business trip.

The tea is caffeine free so is perfect before going to bed. It’s made from soothing Camomile, Passion flower petals, Lemon Balm, Anise, Cinnamon, Orange Pieces, Hops, Roobios and Hops. Highly suggested to drink as is – without milk or sugar.

>This pan is made from die-cast aluminium with a double non-stick coating, meaning cleaning is a total breeze. It’s also dishwasher friendly, meaning it’s even quicker and easier to clean.

These balls are made from water resistant high grade silicon and can be switched off with a (gentle) squeeze. Three light modes allow the red LED inside to run continuously, with a slow flash or with a fast flash. They’re powered by 2 CR2032 batteries which are easily replaceable and the batteries last for approximately 100 hours on solid light mode, or 190 hours whilst flashing. If you think these are too rude – they were fully funded within 3 days on their KickStarter launch – showing the world is ready for a bit of entertainment.

7) Toast Shaped Heated Pillow

Live in denial of ageing with a nose hair trimmer shaped like a Ray Gun
£12.99

As we get older, we find our bodies are starting behaving in ways we don’t expect, even when we still feel like children on the inside. Let your millennial live in denial of ageing by making this rather sad experience of removing unwanted excess nostril hairs a lot more fun. Instead of violently plucking nose hairs and crying in front of the mirror, all the owner needs to do is pull the trigger on this baby to shave away all the shame. It works fantastically on any unwanted ear hair as well – double win!

It comes in red and runs off of a single AA battery (not included).

9) A bottle of Unicorn Tears (more commonly known as Gin Liqueur)
Let the tears of unicorn ignite a drunken evening

This gin liqueur is made from genuine Unicorn tears at a top secret location using free range Unicorn by Firebox. Unicorns are force fed tonnes of citrus fruit, along with juniper berries, boxes of coriander and pieces of licorice. Combined with their brand new emotional harvesting technology, this bittersweet gin experience comes with a dazzling glittery appearance, guaranteed to blow the mind of anyone who consumes it. Simply swirl the bottle before opening to behold its shimmering majesty.

*No unicorns were harmed during the unicorn tear extraction process and the gin produced is even 100% vegan.

10) A hot & cold holdable, customised with any face you’d like!

Stay warmed with your favourite face

£14.99

These wonderful huggable heatable bags can be customised with just about any face you’d like to add. If you’d like to troll someone with a photo of Nicholas Cage, or simply remind them of your existence every time they feel cold, this is the perfect solution. All you need to do is upload a good and clear picture of any face with our friends at Firebox. They’ll then get this printed quickly so it can be sent over to your favourite millennial.

These awesome bags also work as a cold compress – simply put it into the fridge to keep cool.

For heating up, pop into the microwave. Once warmed it’ll stay hot for up to 2 hours.

The post Funny gifts for millennials this Christmas appeared first on Best Gift Ideas UK.

One of the best ‘get out of jail free’ cards is by buying something that isn’t a present you can physically hold. A holiday for example, or a massage voucher. If the person you forgot to buy a gift for is your wife or girlfriend, well…. you’re going to be in trouble if you don’t get this one right! So if you’re looking to spoil her with a luxury or expensive gift, here are our top picks of romantic same day gifts for her!

1. A Helicopter Tour of the London Skyline with Lunch for Two £150

What could be more romantic that a sky tour of Central London? This voucher is printable, and you can present it to her on the day. It’s valid for two people, so you get the fun too.

A man made island built in 1878 to protect Britain from invasion, it has since been turned into a boutique hotel out in the middle of the Solent. It doesn’t get much better than this! When you arrive at the departure lounge, wait in style with tea and coffee – or some whisky.

If you’re looking for something a little bit more adventurous, how about the world’s highest skydive? Set in Devon, you’ll be taught all the ropes before being taken up in the sky. Once up there, strap yourself in and your tandem partner/trainer will do the rest. Once you jump out, you’ll be free falling for almost two miles! After the two mile mark the parachute will pop up and you can peacefully glide back down into the countryside for the last mile of your decent. It’s the ultimate trip of your lifetime and something that will definitely never be forgotten. You can also get DVD footage of the journey or photos as well.

10. A Jetskiing Experience for Two £109
