Every university student deserves a little reward for their consistent hard work and amazing achievements. With the holiday season fast approaching, we’ve compiled a range of the best gift ideas for online students. Read on for inspiration to add to this year’s shopping list.
Adjustable laptop stand
If you’re looking for a present to make online study even easier, a laptop stand is a great choice. This gift will help to make long study sessions more comfortable, by promoting healthy posture and in turn boosting productivity.
Protective laptop case
Everyone loves a good-quality case to protect their device from damage. Whether they’re on the move or staying at home, a laptop case is a good investment in the long run for students. When choosing one, it’s important to consider their personality, the size of the case and the material.
Noise-cancelling headphones
When studying at home or on the go, it can be hard to concentrate with surrounding noise. A pair of noise-cancelling headphones will not only help to block out distractions but also allow students to listen to their lectures in much higher quality.
Lightweight tablet
A tablet gives better portability compared to a laptop, making it easier for online students to study from anywhere. They’re also designed for touchscreen interactions, meaning they can be used for easy entertainment after a study session to play games, browse on social media or watch films.
Headspace app subscription
Juggling work and study can be stressful for students, which is why it’s important for them to take care of their mental health and wellbeing. Headspace is a great tool that’ll help with mindfulness, enabling them to create life-changing habits to support their mental health.
Loungewear set
Comfort is high on the agenda for students studying at home. A high-quality loungewear set can help them feel more relaxed but also look stylish at the same time. They can even wear it if they go on walks during a study break or when running errands between study sessions.
Reading light
For students who prefer to work in the evenings, this gift improves visibility without lighting up the room too much and also reduces eye strain. A reading light will make it easier for them to read for an extended period and help them relax.
Productivity planner
Getting organised is key to staying ahead of deadlines. A fresh new planner will visually motivate students – allowing them to make priority lists and keep track of their assignments, as well as coordinate study plans with other students.
Coffee cup or flask
A study session wouldn’t be complete without caffeine! A coffee cup is guaranteed to be used every day so you can’t go wrong with this as a gift. There are so many options too, from personalised designs to self-heating mugs and folding cups.
Stationery set
Stationery is a staple tool for every single student. Investing in something that suits their personality can make their study periods more exciting and motivating. Some items to consider could be colourful pens, a pencil case, sticky notes and vibrant highlighters.
Home decor
Personalising a dedicated study space is an effective way to boost your mood and improve concentration. Gifting some room decor such as scented candles, plants, photo frames or flowers can brighten up an online student’s day and make them more motivated to study.
Secondary monitor
Having a second monitor is a game changer when dealing with multiple assignments. It saves the frustration of having to constantly switch tabs on a small screen and improves productivity and multitasking capabilities.
