To make your life easier, we have put together the ultimate Christmas gift guide for 2022, on a student friendly budget!
Christmas is most people’s fave time of the year. However, this year with the struggles of the cost of living and being a student, it’s hard not to be worried about the cost of Christmas. With something for everyone, we hope you take some inspo!
However, gifts don’t always have to be something you buy; you could bake some delicious cookies and drop them off at your friends’ and families’ houses. Food is the way to everyone’s hearts, after all, we have some amazing Xmas recipes on our blog so check them out

Prices start from as little as £5 depending on the style you are after. Again, a lot of these can be personalised, which makes it extra special. We have linked one but again have a little look on both Etsy and Amazon.
- For pretty much anyone. Perfume and aftershave always make for a great Christmas gift for all family and friends. The Perfume Shop always has great offers for both men’s and women’s fragrances. If you want to push the boat out, they also do gift sets for certain brands, however, they do tend to be more expensive. The Perfume Shop also offers student discount, which is great for extra £ off your gifts. The link direct to The Perfume Shop is below.
- For a sister, girlfriend or friend. These cosy microwavable slippers are perfect. Such a cute gift and perfect for this time of year, with a lavender scent you’ll feel like you’re at a spa. These are available from Prezzybox and are £22.

You can get all kinds of jibbitz from Office characters to football players and your fave foods. They come in Bundles available from JD or, for more individual and specific ones, Etsy is the best place. Follow the link for a generic ‘croc jibbitz’ search.
- For the beer drinkers. A personalised beer glass is a great gift. You can write anything on it so you could add either a sentimental or funny message. For just £9.99 this is a great option, budget or not!

- Finally, in case you get a secret Santa. Secret Santa is great but it can be hard if you don’t know what the person likes. Normally the budget is pretty low so check out Prezzybox gifts under £10 section, linked below, there’s something for everyone.
With this gift guide giving you plenty of inspo for all friends and family members, you shouldn’t be short of ideas. Give what you can this Christmas but more importantly, spend some quality time with friends and family whilst you are home from uni.
