2. Soldier Egg Cup and Toast Cutter – £6.95
You can’t beat the old classic boiled egg and soldiers! There’s just something about dipping that toasted bread into a nice, runny egg that makes it a breakfast favourite. If you’re a bit too old now to be asking your mum to cut your toast into soldiers, then The Soldier Egg Cup and Toast Cutter will be the ideal accessory for you. You can make your breakfast ‘eggstra’ special and it will certainly put the fun back in to your meal time.

3. Arcade Alarm Clock – £12.99
Let’s be honest nobody likes to get up in the morning and the sound of the alarm clock is normally the last thing you want to hear. Well, you can now wake up to an assortment of retro gaming sounds, much more pleasant than the usual screeching alarm. This present would be great for teenagers that haven’t had the chance to experience the arcade as they get to use the joysticks to operate the alarm. It could also be a great buy for all those who grew up in the eighties and want to make themselves feel young again. It genuinely looks like the real arcade games and best of all it won’t take all your money.

4. Slanket – £24.99
Right so let’s be honest, where do students spend most of their time? It has to be on the sofa and student houses can get quite cold in the winter. I know the Slanket has been around for a while now but it still has to be a must have for any student this Christmas. I have spent many a cold evening trying to snuggle under a blanket but it just kept falling off every time I wanted to have a sip of tea or change the channel. The Slanket cuts out that problem because of its handy arm holes. It is soft and light and it may even help to cut down on the student night life as it is so cosy they won’t want to leave its warmth.

5. AppToyz Racer – £54.99
Sometimes I feel a little bit old when it comes to technology these days because the new developments never seem to amaze me. This new AppRacer is no exception, because you can now control an ‘off road buggy’ with your iPhone or iPod Touch. If you download the free application then you can make the most intuitive remote control devise ever, just don’t ask me how it works. The control unit is charged using a USB charger so you never need to worry about running out of batteries. One of the best parts of this is that you don’t even need to have passed your driving test to drive.

6. Lava Lamp – £7.20
Lava lamps may have been invented in the 1970s (I think) but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t still super cool today. They will light up any room and should hopefully add a feeling of calm, especially around exam times if you are buying this for a budding student. The only problem will be that they might spend more time watching the different shapes than actually getting some revision done. Apparently every time you turn it on it produces a different shape so you don’t have to worry about getting bored easily. I think this would make a great gift for any student this Christmas.

7. Student Bag – £25
Yak Pak is a new brand to me but it has recently been brought across to the UK and it is ideal for any student. They will be able to innovative and stylish but it is still durable and functional. Apparently these days a backpack isn’t just something that you carry your books in but it is something that you wear. If you want to make sure that your student keeps up with the Jones’ this year then this definitely needs to have a place under the tree. It has reinforced straps for when it is full of books and it has a padded back panel for extra comfort.

8. Ace Bottle opener – £6.99
Without wishing to stereotype it has to be said that most students do like to have a few drinks and maybe a few more! Now they can open theirs and their friends bottles in style and be the envy of all their friends at the same time. This bottle opener is in the shape of the Ace of Spades and it looks very swish and expensive. It doesn’t just look good either but it is practical and easy to use, which will be very helpful after a few beers. I think that this has to be the perfect present for any student this Christmas and should definitely find it into their stocking this year.

9. Slushy maker – £49.95
You may associate a Slushy with the summer but here at Top 10 we think it makes a great and refreshing drink for any time of the year. Now they can be made from the comfort of your own home. All you need is some ice, a small amount of water and your fruit juice of choice, then just sit back and watch the Slushy maker do its job. This great gift comes with a list of recipes but if you’re feeling adventurous then you can make up some of your own. I think that this would make a great gift this Christmas.

10. Lego Drinking Bottle – £10.99
For me Lego is one of those childhood toys that just never gets old and a new set of it always seems to end up in someone’s stocking each Christmas. Now Lego are branching out and you can buy associated products too and I think they are just so cute so why wouldn’t you? This funky drinking bottle with a top in the shape of a Lego head will look great in any lecture theatre this year and it should help to make sure that your little darling will drink enough water now that they have to take care of themselves.
