Sometimes what people really want is to relax and enjoy little things. Especially students during a busy exam month. To achieve this you don’t have to break the bank to have a fantastic time!

 Whether you're craving a cosy movie night, a pamper session or a themed adventure, there are plenty of affordable ways to make your night in unforgettable. Let's explore some budget-friendly ideas for the ultimate student night in.

Pamper night:

  - Create your own spa experience at home with DIY face masks, hair treatments, and manicures.

   - Look for affordable skincare products at discount stores or online.

Movie night:

   - Utilise streaming services that offer student discounts or free trials.

   - Make homemade popcorn and snacks rather than ordering expensive takeout.
