The must-have university starter pack for the new term.

<p>Heading to uni evokes a whirlwind of emotions, a mixture of excitement and nervousness as you prepare to take the next big step. It's a tale of two halves: the exhilarating freedom of Freshers' Week and the focused intensity of diving into your studies. And it can be just as tricky for parents and guardians sending their not-so-little one off to university. It’s a bittersweet feeling of where-did-the-time-go panic and immense pride as you wave them off for their next chapter, which often means moving away from home for the first time. Whether you’re the one heading off, or the one left behind, we can help make this transition smooth and exciting, so you can focus on cherishing those precious moments together before September.</p>
<p>We’ve got all the going to uni essentials, from snug bedding and handy kitchenware to those little-touch accessories that will make the new space feel more homely. It’s all about shopping smart and spending less. You'll find all our student essentials at the best prices to get the new term off to the best possible start.</p>  

<h2>COSY BEDDING</h2>
<p>You don’t have to splash out on expensive bedding for a sound night’s sleep. We have a huge range of affordable bedding for uni students, so you’ll be able to rest easy. Start with plush pillows that offer proper head support – like these ones from Slumberdown – available in different levels of firmness and in packs of two. Pair with The Slumberdown Sleep Soundly Duvet (sold in single, double and king sizes), which goes all the way up to a 13.5 tog to keep warm and snug when the nights turn colder. It’s also machine washable and tumble drier friendly, so it can be back on the bed in a flash.</p>

<p>Investing in a couple of kitchen gadgets that are built to last is a brilliant start – not just to uni life but to life in general. A reliable kettle is a must-have for those early mornings and late-night study sessions. And for those evenings when there’s no time to cook, a microwave is a saving grace. For kitchen novices – or already keen chefs – an air fryer is a great addition. It's the ultimate confidence booster and brilliantly versatile that will offer wall-to-wall wonderful dinners in no time! Plus, the matte black, Scandi-style design adds a touch of sophistication to any kitchen counter – even in student accommodation!</p>

<h2>LAUNDRY AND STORAGE SOLUTIONS</h2>

<h2>STUDY SESSION ESSENTIALS</h2>
<p>Whether it’s a late-night cram or part of a meticulous study plan, being prepped for end-of-term exams is essential. Refillable water bottles are ideal for those long library sessions – or for rogue gym workouts – and this 2-litre version will do the job. Stocking up on notebooks, pens and highlighters and loads more stationery to make revision weeks pass by in a breeze is never a bad idea.</p>

<h2>THE FINAL TOUCHES…</h2>
<p>The pinned-up pictures, photographs and decorative touches that adorn the walls of university halls are how students express themselves (queue the obligatory Pulp Fiction and Manhattan skyline posters). Halls can quickly feel like home with a few personality-packed pieces. This super-cute, glass mushroom lamp is battery powered so you can move that warm glow around to any room you like. For the final finishing touch, this cute beaded picture frame is perfect for hanging family photos to be reminded of home.</p>
