Sometimes being a student on a budget isn’t easy, especially during the Christmas period when you want to treat your family and friends but can’t splash out too much. So, I’ve created a list of different products from ASOS you could buy for under £10 so everyone’s happy! And so is your bank account. If you haven’t shopped on ASOS before, you’re missing out so go check it out now! It is student friendly, quick and efficient with its orders and returns so it is the number one choice for online shopping as a student (think 10% student discount). I’ve provided different gift ideas from nail polish, mugs, candles, phone stoppers and jewellery stands.
1) Nail polish!
Nail polish sets are useful to every single girl out there who likes to make their hands look pretty with different shades and taking time to paint their nails to match their outfits. I absolutely love nail polishes and always receive them as presents so I’ve become an expert on them. There are many different brands on ASOS: from new look, Barry M, Essie and OPI – all of which are amazing.
