Christmas on a Student Budget | Gifts for: The Toddlers

Hello again!


Here is another student/budget gift guide for you, and this time it is about the toddlers. Like me you might have nieces and nephews to buy for, or you have a little sibling or cousin. If so, this is the little guide for you. Click the product name to be sent to the link for it!

As a side note, I have included two clothing items in this list under 'Boy' and 'Girl'. However, personally I don't see kids clothes as gendered, so why should it be for either sex? But for the point of this guide and what it comes under on their website, I have put a 'Girl' and 'Boy' option.


1. Next Girls Grey Bunny T-Shirt (3mths-6yrs) (£6.00). I think this top is super cute as it has a colourful bunny on it, perfect for the kids who like to name all the animals they can think of and the noises for them.


2. Next Boys White Sketchy Monster Long Sleeved Top (3mths-6yrs) (£4.50-£5.50). I like this because it is long sleeved, so good for the colder months, and it the design on it is pretty cool. Because children are little monsters themselves, right?


3. H&M Soft Toy Cushion (bunny) (£7.99). I promise I don't have a thing for bunnies, I just coincidentally chose two items with them on! This is a cute fluffy pillow in the shape of a bunny's face, making it a lovely gift for the kid's bedroom that they can cuddle up with at night. There are also other animals such as a cat and a polar bear. 


4. Toys 'R' Us Sesame Street Lets Cuddle Elmo (£7.49, was £14.99). An absolute classic kid's toy: The Lets Cuddle Elmo. Sesame Street is one of those programmes that never grows old and every kid deserves a hug from Elmo.


5. Smyths Toys Peppa Pig Colouring Set (£0.99). Peppa Pig is by far one of the most popular kid's TV programme's in the UK right now. I don't know one child that I have encountered that doesn't love Peppa Pig! This is a little colouring set full of pencils, colouring sheets and stickers which is good to promote creativity, keep children occupied and good for having something to do when travelling. 


6. Tesco Galt Toys 4 Puzzles Farm (£5.00). I know my niece loves to do puzzles so I thought of her when I saw this. Again, this is good for the kids who like to name their animals and do the noises on them! This would be an activity that you could do together with the kid which makes it all the more fun! Plus, the puzzles go up in the number of pieces so they would be good for child development as they get older.

The Best Student Handbag/Tote Bag!

Hello!

As a student I need to have a big, sturdy bag that can fit multiple textbooks and papers inside of it. On the other hand I also want a bag that is stylish and suits my personality. On top of this I also need a fairly reasonable price as we aren't made of money!

Well here is the answer! The Avery Studded Double Pocket Tote Bag from Boohoo.

This bag suits me perfectly. I absolutely love studs and the colour black so when I came across this bag I instantly fell in love! It is the perfect size for carrying around books and has a lot of space for much more. There are two big zip up pockets on the front to hold things and two above them which are longer yet thinner. Another big zip up pocket is found on the inside, along with another pocket on the inside and a smaller one for your phone. Sounds perfect!

Even better, I only had to pay £8.99 as it is on sale from £17.99! Bargain! 

I have already had lots of use from this bag. I found it was perfect to take to the beach with me as it held my beach towel and everything else I needed. Then, I took it on holiday with me which was great to carry round my holiday essentials. Plus today I went to the library and it was perfect for carrying all my library books home!

I am super impressed with this bag and would definitely recommend it to students or those of you who need to carry laptops, notebooks etc.
