Student years mean studying, moving out, dorms and new friends. The best gifts for students are practical, help with studies or daily life and bring a little comfort and joy. Here are gift ideas for students for birthdays, Students' Day or starting university: for studying, dorm life, gadgets, treats, experiences and options under 1000 UAH.
Practical plus a little cosiness: the perfect formula.
Gifts for studying
Students always need things that make studying easier: an e-reader for textbooks and novels, a nice planner and pens, a laptop backpack, noise-cancelling headphones for the library, a desk lamp, or a subscription to a learning platform or an English or coding course.
For dorm life
A first-year moving away from home will appreciate a kettle, a travel mug, a throw, a night light, a storage organiser, a single tableware set, a multicooker or a sandwich maker. These don't look festive, but the student will think of you every day.
Students always love tasty gifts: a basket of sweets, coffee or tea, or a café or pizzeria voucher. Experiences work too: a concert, an escape room or a trip with friends. And a female student will love her own bouquet for her birthday or International Students' Day on 17 November.
What not to give a student
Avoid bulky items with no room in a dorm, preachy gifts, cheap gadgets that break quickly and clothes without a fitting. Money in a nice envelope is perfectly appropriate for a student. Ideas for any occasion are in our gift ideas section.
