Student Essentials from Tiger UK

Tiger UK is one of those stores that I have always wanted to visit but there isn't a store very close to me, the nearest is in Preston. Tiger is a Danish store, it's Flying Tiger Copenhagen in Denmark, that stocks homeware, stationery, gadgets, games, food and so much more. It's like a Danish Ikea with amazing value products, just without the furniture.

I was very kindly sent a range of super affordable, cute and colourful homeware and stationery items ranging in price from £2 to £6. My favourite item from the products I was sent is definitely the String Light Chain (£6) which is adorable and perfect for adding colour and a surprising amount of light to any room. Student accommodation is always very neutral, boring and generic so colourful homeware is a quick, easy and affordable way to temporarily add a personal touch to your room. It's 2.5 metres long so it's great to place around a headboard, shelves or bookcase - it is also battery operated.

If you've been following my blog for a while then you'll know that I am a bit of a stationery addict; I am always on the lookout for more cute stationery *you can never have too much stationery*. I have an adorable *Office Set (£2) which is perfect for any student as it is such a compact set (so it's great for small flats with minimal storage) and it contains a mini stapler, staples, mini highlighter, scissors, tape and page markers. This cute set would be great for anyone, not just students! I also received a *Snake Look A5 Notebook (£2); I have so many notebooks but I always need more. I used up countless notebooks during college and university particularly for notes, lists and...doodles because procrastination does happen in lectures!

Lastly, two fruity and colourful homeware items, the *Fruit Photo Frame (£2). I think the prices for Tiger products is amazing and I really wish there was a store closer to me because I'd end up there every week! The final item is an adorable *Strawberry Wall Clock (£4) which would be perfect for a shared kitchen and if it does become the victim of student parties then it's cheap to replace!

Overall, I'm so happy with all of the products! They're all so inexpensive but great quality and perfect for students because of the price and they can add so much colour to a bland student room. I wish there was a store in Manchester, we have such a large student population, I don't know why there isn't a Tiger store in Manchester already. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
