Looking for the ultimate gift for a fellow student, friend or family member? Whether they’re drowning in deadlines or casually lounging through term, these gifts are guaranteed to add some uni pride to their Christmas haul. From cosy hoodies to eco-friendly coffee cups, this list is here to sort you out:
1. A4 Illustrated Poster Print (University of Nottingham Map)
Perfect for: The flatmate who’s always lost, even after three years.
This gorg poster print of the UoN map is the perfect way to spruce up dull accommodation walls. It’s practical for anyone who struggles to navigate the maze of buildings on campus (looking at you, first years) and doubles as a classy keepsake for alumni missing their uni days.
2. ‘Windsor’ Bear with Ribbon Bow
Perfect for: Anyone who claims they’re “too old for teddies” but secretly isn’t.
Forget boring Christmas presents - this cute and cuddly bear is the kind of gift that guarantees an “aww.” Dressed to impress with a smart ribbon bow, ‘Windsor’ is basically the soft toy equivalent of a graduate who just nailed their dissertation. Gift it to someone nostalgic or anyone in need of a hug after those tough assignments.
3. Illustrated Trent Building Bamboo Coffee Cup
Perfect for: The caffeine addict who won’t shut up about saving the planet.
A reusable coffee cup with the iconic Trent Building? Yes, please. Perfect for anyone who refuses to get out of bed before their morning coffee (so, all students), this eco-friendly cup says, “I care about the environment, but I also have taste.” Plus, every sip will remind them of that one lecture they definitely slept through in Trent.
4. USA College Hoody
Perfect for: The one who lives in hoodies 24/7 and still looks cooler than you.
This bottle green hoody screams main character energy. Whether they’re braving the cold for a 9am or pretending to study in Hallward Library, this comfy classic has them covered. It’s stylish enough to be seen in public but cosy enough to wear while bingeing Netflix. Warning: they might never take it off.
5. UoN Baseball Cap
Perfect for: That one mate who calls every stroll around campus a “hot girl walk.”
This sand-coloured baseball cap is subtle, stylish, and screams "I go to UoN and I know it." Ideal for those who love looking effortlessly cool while dodging deadlines. Whether they’re shielding their eyes from the sun (or hiding bed hair), this cap is a top-tier accessory for anyone who wants to make “athleisure chic” their personal brand.
