The Christmas countdown is officially on. What do you get your flatmate, your bestie, your partner, or even treat-yourself? Look no further. Last festive season, students turned to ASOS for the ultimate reset haul - and we’ve got the inside scoop on what they loved.
Every pick below comes straight from what students were really buying last year with their ASOS student discount, so you’re basically copying the group-chat-approved hits. From cosy layers to night-out essentials, here are the Christmas gifts that had everyone talking.
Fresh trainers were the hero gift everyone wanted
Forget coal, students were asking for fresh kicks. A versatile, go-with-everything pair of trainers was the top priority for hitting campus feeling ready to seize the day.
Styles like New Balance 530 trainers and adidas Originals Campus trainers ranked high on peoples' lists. They work for lectures, library days, pub trips and nights out, so they’re ideal if you need gift ideas for siblings, mates or your partner that feel big, useful and seriously wearable.
ASOS DESIGN was the secret wardrobe hero
ASOS DESIGN quietly became everyone’s wardrobe bestie.
Pieces like the bardot bias mini dress, the slinky black mini skort and the super practical 2 pack tights helped students build full looks for socials, nights out and festive plans without stressing over what matches.
Party minis owned every single night out
When it came to dressing up, mini was the brief.
Festive nights out demand a standout look, and students were ready. Short, fun and easily dressed up, these pieces were the uniform for every Christmas party and New Year's Eve plan. The perfect gift for your most social friend. Just add tights, blazers and boots for endless remix options.
Cosy layers carried everyone back to campus
Returning to cold campuses meant one thing: an urgent need for cosy layers.
Students were reaching for cosy, practical layers like the ASOS DESIGN 2 pack tights and Stradivarius STR straight leg jeans to survive 9am lectures and icy walks back to halls. These are the kind of gifts parents and relatives love to give – sensible, comfy, and guaranteed to be worn on repeat well into term two.
Self-care minis made pamper nights feel luxe
Self-care sets were a major win for anyone running on caffeine and deadlines. Curated picks like the OUAI x ASOS Hair & Body Minis Bundle and everyday glow heroes.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Liquid Filter & concealer let students upgrade their routine without needing a full bathroom cabinet. They’re ideal for flat spa nights, post-exam reset evenings or as a small but thoughtful add-on to a bigger present.
