Goal tracking is a phrase that can either excite you or scare you. Now no matter what camp you are in, it has been proven that setting goals leads to a more fulfilling and dare i say disciplined life.

With this tried and tested Notion goal tracker template, I have cracked the code. I am finally achieving my goals and making my life into how i want it, one goal at a time. And this post is showing you exactly how I do that!
This post is all about a Notion Goal Tracker!
What is a Goal Tracker
Life is truly limitless and when we start dreaming big and setting big goals is when we truly start living. This goal tracker will help you visualise your goals much easier and help you achieve them one step at a time!
This goal tracker template will help you categorise your goals in multiple views which will help you achieve your goals in bite-sized chunks!

EG. at a high level you can have a place for recipes, tv shows, and what we are talking about here: goal planning and tracking.
Notion Goal Tracker
Why did I create the Notion goal tracker? There were MANY reasons as to why I made this tracker but the main reason was that I wanted to see my goals and exactly how I can achieve them without overwhemling myself.
It is SO easy to create a vision board and make a list of all your goals but its also very easy to get lost and overwhelmed in these mediums.
I created this Notion Goal Tracker Template to help you better visualise your goals and actually achieve them.
Notion Goal Tracker Contents
Within the goal template, I strived to make it as simple as possible as simple really is better.
We have three main tables that are pretty self explanatory:
The Goal List:
The Step List
The Quarterly Views
We will talk more about the tables below.
The reason why we have three tables is because each provide a trove of information.
Why are the goals in quarters? The STAR of the Notion Goal Tracker
Now this is the secret to achieving your goals. It’s assigning your goals to a quarter.
Instead of having yearly goals where you rush to try and complete them in December, assigning a limited number to each quarter gives you time and freedom to dedicate the quarter to a smaller number of goals. This means you are more likely to achieve that goal!
This system works exactly for that too as we work in steps! What you need to do is assign your goal to be completed for Q4 but you can assign your steps to throughout the year.
For example, I have a goal of ‘living outside of my comfort zone’ that I want to achieve throughout the year so I will mark it as Q4. I will fill out my steps, but instead of assigning them all to Q4, I will assign them throughout the year. So ‘Going on a solo date’ I can mark as January, and tick it off when it is done.
What if I don’t complete the step that month?
No problem, with the third table (or by clicking into the step) you can just drag the step to another month!
This table is to help you not hold you to ransom!
How Does The Notion Goal Tracker Work?
As mentioned above, it is a three table system, let’s get to it:
1. Goal List
The first table is for you to list all of your goals, assign them their types, and most importantly their quarter.
You are then going to think about how are you going to achieve this goal? What steps do you need to complete? Fill out the steps in the Steps column
2. Step Table
Now you will notice that the steps you have filled out above are present in this table (magic). Here you are going to assign each task a month to get them completed so you can achieve your goal.
If you click into the step page itself, there is also a goal tracker template you can use to help you achieve this step.
3. Quarterly View
This is four tables sorted into quarters in a kanban view.
You can copy and paste this database and put on any page you want as it shows you your goal steps in bite-sized chunks. You will only see your Jan-Mar goals and so on one view.
From this you can start curating a weekly to-do to help you achieve that step, which will help you achieve that goal (wooh).
It’s a kanban so you can drag and drop your goals. This table is to help you not hold you to ransom!

This post is all about the best digital Sinking Funds planner that will elevate your finances.
Sinking funds, budgeting, saving; so many money saving lingo is thrown around nowaday; it’s hard to really figure out how to track the money you are saving effectively! In this post I am going to be sharing with you the best way to save money to help you reach your finance goals, all through this simple and easy to use sinking funds planner.
As someone who has been using sinking funds for years, I know exactly what works and what does not, which is why this sinking funds planner pdf is truly a brilliant tool to aid your savings.
Save your monthly budget and start saving bit by bit so when it comes to paying for something you don’t feel it all!
This post is going to give you a deep dive into our brilliant digital sinking funds planner and why you most definitely need one!
What is a Digital Sinking Funds Planner?
A digital sinking funds planner is exactly what is say on the tin; a digital way to track and keep on top of your sinking funds. Whether its tracking how much you are adding to each fund or how much you are taking away each month, this finance planner has you covered!
What is a Sinking Funds Tracker?
Right so we know that we can track our sinking funds digitally, but what exactly are sinking funds?
A sinking fund is a pot of money dedicated to a specific thing.
For example, you can have a sinking fund dedicated to Holidays, so every month you can put money in towards holidays and take out as and when you need!
The beauty of sinking funds is you put aside money monthly so when it does come to paying for something it is not coming out of your monthly salary or cause you stress scrambling for money. Sinking funds really ease off financial burdens when it comes to spending.
This digital sinking funds planner helps you keep track of all of your funds in one place- keep reading to see what’s in it and how you can use it!
I have been on the hunt for a way to track my sinking funds digitally for years and could not find one that was perfect and had everything I wanted in it… so I made my own!
What is in the TCP Digital Sinking Funds Planner?
Now as a type A person, I wanted to cover all bases when it came to sinking funds and it’s associations so I have packed it with the most USEFUL pages you need to help you save and spend your money effectively.
What are the Pros of a Digital Sinking Funds Planner?
There are so many pros to our digital sinking funds planner and I am going to demonstrate them all for you now!
1. Digital Monthly Budget Page for Every Month!
I know you cannot have an effective sinking funds planner without filling out your monthly budget. How will you know how much is to go into your funds after bills etc without anywhere to track it? That is why this sinking funds planner has a dedicated monthly budget for each month.
2. Track 15 Individual Funds Every Month
15 funds should be more than enough funds for you to track every month. I myself use around 12 very specific ones so you can group together some funds if you run out of space…. OR duplicate the page for another 15 funds.
3. Quick and Easy Listing of Funds
As this is a digital sinking funds planner, you can use the copy and paste feature to copy over your list of sinking funds for each spread and month
3. Sinking Fund Structure
This digital sinking funds planner will have 12 separate months with the following tried-and-tested sinking fund structure:
Monthly Budget
Adding to the Funds – track what you are putting in the funds per months
Fund Tracker – track the beginning and end of month values
Fund Spending – track spending of funds throughout each month.
For sure you will have your savings in your funds but sometimes it is nice to see your savings and debts visually! The savings jar can be duplicated as many times as you like and you can get the satisfaction colouring in each circle as and when
Likewise with your debts, it is SO nice to reward yourself with each step closer to being debt free using the snowball method.
5. Yearly Overviews
This digital sinking funds planner has three options to track at the beginning of the year and end of the year. There are options to track:
Investment Overview – track your investment sinking fund monthly
Overall Savings Overview – This is NOT your sinking funds but can be a) separate to your funds. b) a single fund within your funds.
Fund Overiew – track the beginning and end of year fund value.
6. Re-Usable
This digital sinking funds planner is undated which means it can be used forever – year on year.
7. What Mistakes?
So we have sort of touched on this in terms of personalisation. Feed the perfectionist in you when it comes to journalling as digital journalling allows you to correct your mistakes in the tap of a button #byebyetipex
8. Digital Sinking Funds Planner PDF Compatibility
You can use this planner ANYWHERE that takes the PDF file format. This means any digital note-taking app that allows integration with PDF file formats (which i’m pretty sure should be ANY planner app) this planner should work well with!
This planner works best with Goodnotes as dimensions are made for Goodnotes but quality on other apps should be almost the same!
This post is giving you an insight into TCP’s best digital reading journal that every reader should be using!
Well hello there to all you book lovers, welcome to your soon to be favourite digital reading journal.
As someone who has been logging their reading for years in paper journals and for the past few years digitally, I know exactly what is needed to make a reading journal template absolutely perfect… and we have only gone and done it!
This post is going to give you a deep dive into our brand new digital reading planner and why you definitely need one. We are going to look at the pros and cons of a digital reading journal and what exactly is a reading journal, as well as how you can personalise your journal and make it your best reading journal ever <3.
This post is all about our digital reading journal!
What is a Digital Reading Journal?
A digital reading journal is exactly what it says on the tin; a place to track everything to do with your books digitally. You will most likely have this reading journal on your tablet and it will include the basics of your monthly reads, book reviews, and maybe some space to put down the books you would like and have bought.
Why have we made a Digital Reading Journal
As a seasoned digital planner and paper planner user, I knew EXACTLY what is needed to make the perfect digital reading planner. All of the planners I tried out before were not hitting the spot. It could be that there was not enough space for a book review to there being not enough pre-built lists. So, I made my own!
Keep reading to see how much bookish goodness we have packed into this digital reading journal!
What is in the TCP Digital Reading Journal?
TCP’s digital reading journal is what’s listed above and so much more! Below there is a detailed contents as well as how I use the journal, some pros (and the one con) including some pictures of it in action.
Our digital reading journal is truly one of a kind as we have so much packed into it. From challenges, to 5 star reads, to DNFs, and space for 150 linked reviews, you will have space for everything!
Here is a detailed contents for you and a cheeky video:
Your Bookshelf for the year (each linking to it’s separate book review)
Book of the Month
5 Star Reads
Yearly Stats, categorised by overall and each month
There are so many pros to a digital reading journal and I am going to show you them all using our digital reading planner.
1. Everything is Easily Found
There is nothing more annoying than rifling through your paper journal trying to find a page that is absolutely buried in your book. However, with the digital reading journal your contents page is easily clickable, as well as tabs on every page that navigate you to all headings contents.
What about your book reviews? Those too are clickable! All 150+ off= them.
2. Space for (nearly) Unlimited Books
153 books to be precise, and those are just the *clickable* book reviews. What do we mean by that? Under the books read section each book will link to its own book review page, plus other spaces to list books such as, 5 star reads, book of the months, challenges, yearly TBRs, and more.
3. Extremely Personalisable and NO PRINTER REQUIRED
One of the MAJOR turn-offs when it comes to paper reading planners is that you have to physically print out the pictures you want in there and that costs so much money in ink. However, with the digital planner you can copy, paste, re-arrange images, as well as add cool stickers. Most importantly, if you change your mind, you can do it again, to however you like!
Scroll through this post to see the goodnotes digital reading journal in action!
Layout is Already Provided – Less Work
PS: if you have not read ACOWAR, DO NOT LOOK AT THE BOOK REVIEW BELOW!
No more drawing a bunch of squares here there and everywhere to represent books of covers you will NEVER print out and blank pages of ideas you will never draw. This reading journal template is the best because all of the work is done for you! All you have to do is personalise it to how you want and have fun reading.
4. Re-Use Year After Year
You read that correctly. This book journal is undated so once you buy it you can keep it and use it forever! Don’t say this isn’t the best digital reading journal goodnotes and notability has ever seen 😉.
5. Goals and Monthly and Yearly Stats all in One Place
Track your yearly goals and TBR efficiently, and compare your ‘Goals’ to your ‘Actual’ at the end of the year. Monthly statistics also join to your monthly read pages, something which just CANNOT be done in a physical planner.
6. Note Pages to Personalise Whatever You Like
We understand that many people like taking notes and doodling on different style pages, so here you are absolutely spoilt for choice! We have
Grid
Dot Grid
Ruled
Blank
Each and every page is un-titled and you can replicate them as much as you like.
7. What Mistakes?
So we have sort of touched on this in terms of personalisation. Feed the perfectionist in you when it comes to journalling as digital journalling allows you to correct your mistakes in the tap of a button #byebyetipex
8. Digital Reading Journal PDF
PDF! The fact that it is a PDF is indeed a PRO because you can use this reading journal template ANYWHERE! That means any note taking app you have that can take PDFs, this journal can be used on. Granted it will be best quality on GoodNotes but the quality will not be too bad that it is unusable (I’m pretty sure you will not notice much difference to be honest.)
9. Challenge Yourself
So with a regular journal you need to go, make all the spreads, print out challenges, stick them in your journal etc. However, our reading journal has 3 fun reading challenges for you to complete. Also with the built in TBR spreads and statistics you’ll take your challenges and goals seriously.
The ONE Con of Digital Reading Journals
The one and only con of digital journalling in general is that you don’t have a physical copy you can refer to and look back on in the future. Yes you can have them all in one place on your tablet but sometimes, nothing beats holding a physical book- just like physical vs ebook, right? 😂
There is a way around this con. If you truly love your journal at the end of the year and would love a physical copy you can have it PRINTED. The journals layout is chronological so printing your journal will have it read very well.
We absolutely LOVE this reading journal and cannot wait to use it for years to come. We currently have an offer where you can get 10% off the digital reading journal (+ everything else digital in the store) when you sign up to our mailing list!
Make sure to check this bad boi out because it truly is a dream where you can track all of your reading!

If you are packing for university and do not know what to take to university, this post is telling you a free university packing list that will save you so much time and stress!
Having packed for university three times in my life, I think it is safe to say I know how stressful it can be, especially for first year university students. What do you pack? What don’t you pack? Don’t worry about any of that as this university packing list pdf is going to take the stress out of stressful.
What To Take To University (and HOW)
Using our free university packing checklist below, you can print it out and manually check off the items as and when you get them. However, one of the big problems I had at university was, where do I get these items from and how am I going to pack it all?
When it comes to packing and storing these items, I do NOT recommend card boxes as they take up so much room and deteriorate over time. These plastic storage boxes and clothes bags below are perfect for transportation and you can also use them as under bed storage whilst things are unpacked.
With over three pages of essentials, and even space to put your own, this download is an essential for your university packing! Whether you are using this as a first year university packing list or just a general list, it will be super super helpful to you and make sure you do not miss anything.
What To Bring To University Essentials
A lot of the things on this list are essential items you need at university to get by day to day. However you may already have a lot of these things, so below I am listing just a few VITAL essentials on this list you need to purchase before moving out, that you most likely do not already own.
I went my whole first year without a suitcase and it was a PAIN. Honestly, do yourself a favour from the get go and get yourself a hard shell suitcase. They can be quite expensive but you will have it for years and years so it’s a great investment that will both save your back and make your life so much easier. For weekends at home or going home for a week your backpack is not going to be enough and carrying it all in bags is just difficult and a huge faff. Grab yourself a suitcase to make travelling to and from university easy!
I was so lucky that my landlords bought new mattresses for us in both of my uni houses. However this is a rarity and you’ll probably be sleeping on a mattress thats years old and has seen a lot of bodies (it had to be said lol.) For comfort, sanity, and hygiene, grab yourself a mattress topper to ensure you have a lovely nights sleep!
I say this because everyone always forgets an extension lead! I remember my first university room had 2 plugs and I showed up with around 15 electronics 😂. These tower extensions are great because you can plug in both plugs and USB cords.
This is a game changer for those sharing bathrooms. If you do not want people using your things, or just want to keep your things all in one place, grab yourself one of these bad boys. I love mine so much I still use it now that I am at home. Put all of your bathroom bits into this caddy and transport it to and from the bathroom with ease. This is a must for your university packing list!
I’ve showed this to all of my friends and we WISH we knew this existed in our university days as it would have made our lives 100x easier. In fact, I am debating getting one for my family home because it looks that good!
It’ll save you time separating out your lights from darks, and will save a black or red sock sneaking in and dying your whites.
This also comes in a three compartment basket for colours, darks, and lights here.

Why Meal Plan with a Meal Planner Printable?
Meal planning is a life changing tool that you need to implement if you want to be organised, productive, and also eat smart through out the week.

We have all been in those situations when you come home from work super hungry but there is nothing to eat. What do you end up doing? Your order takeout or you cook super unhealthy food.
However with meal planning, the most you have to do is check your meal planner printable, take your tupperware out of the fridge and put it in the microwave. 5 minutes later you have yourself a nice, warm, home cooked meal for you to enjoy.

Before we get into how to use this weekly meal planner, I thought I would share with you some of my meal planning essentials that I use on a weekly basis, in case you’re not too sure about what you will need.
I have been using these for months! They are quite flimsy but don’t let that put you off; they are air tight, freeze well, dishwasher safe, and microwaveable. The best thing is that they do not discolour. Sometimes, with oily/ tomato based foods you will get that orange tinge to the plastic- these do not do that!
These freezer labels will change the game! You write the contents, and the date you freeze/ should eat by and your good to go! These make it so easy when looking in your fridge/ freezer for things to eat. These are a recent purchase of mine but I have heard that when these labels go into the dishwasher, the writing washes off so you can re-use it! Amazing, right?
How to Use A Weekly Meal Planner
It really is as easy as it says on the tin; you plan your meals you will be having for the week. For ease (and to save you from seeing my awful photography skills) I have used Goodnotes to show you how I use this meal planner printable template to plan my foods out for the week.
I basically go through the fridge on a Sunday and see what I have and what I am craving and just make meals out of it all. Now I don’t sit there and cook all of my meals at once (only the big long meals like a lasagne etc)- I just write them down so when it comes to it I know exactly what I am cooking.
Planning before the beginning of the week allows me to know what I need to freeze, what I need to buy etc.
My meal planner template genuinely helps me loose weight and stay on top of my snacking and healthy eating, as I have food right there either prepared or ready to be cooked.

This post is giving you the best personal growth journal prompts that will help you flourish!
Journaling is one of the best forms of self-therapy out there. Even if you just put pen to paper and write down one sentence, it’s powerful in ways you cannot imagine. In this post we are giving you 21 journal prompts for personal growth that will help you become more knowledgeable about yourself and discover things you would have otherwise never thought about.
What is Personal Growth?
Personal growth is understanding yourself, accepting yourself and continuing to grow and develop to reach your full potential. It sounds scary doesn’t it? Accepting yourself, that is. However, delving in deep and acknowledging yourself and who you are is a crucial part in personal growth and achieving the best version of yourself.
Why Journal?
As I’ve said above, and will say again because it is TRUE, journaling is one of, if not the best form, of self therapy. Following journal prompts is like talking to your therapist. Soon you will start asking yourself questions whilst responding to these prompts, just like a real therapy session.
Journaling with these personal growth journal prompts will allow you to delve deep into your mind and really think about the answer, therefore helping you become the BEST version of yourself, and uncovering things you didn’t even know about yourself.
If you take one thing from this post let it be this, even if you are not a journaller/ writer, take the time out tonight and just write about your day and feelings, you will not regret it. I personally have been journaling for years and never regret putting my pen to paper.
This Can Help You Get Into Journaling
If you need a little push into journaling, I find that pretty notebooks always help. Honestly, I cannot write in ugly notebooks; it makes me not want to journal. The nice notebook allows you to keep it on your desk, meaning it is easier to reach for and you’re more likely to journal more. It’s also nice to have a pretty journal to look back on.
It sounds daunting, the thought of writing down all of your flaws however, once your pen starts flowing over the page, it does not stop. Just even acknowledging your flaws is a big step.
Having said this, writing down your flaws is a tiny part of personal growth. Using these personal growth journal prompts you will write about your day, your gratitude, your hopes, dreams, and how you will get there, to name a few.
These 21 journal prompts for self growth are so good. Each and every one of these journal prompts will inspire a new wave length of thinking. From who and what you have in your life, to who you want in your life and what you want your life to be like, these journal prompts will help you figure out a way to get there.
Through journaling you will find that some of your answers to your prompts will change dependent on your feelings at the time. Now this is good. Good because you can respond to these prompts in editions depending on your feelings and then find out your true ‘wants’.
However the majority of these prompts will delve down into your true wants no matter your mood.
Now you have your personal growth journal prompts and your pretty journal, there is nothing stopping you from growing!
I would say, if you try these prompts out, take a pic and share it with me on Instagram but we all know that this is too private for that.
If you liked this post and would like some more journal prompt posts, let me know!

How absolutely adorable is this habit tracker and mood tracker!? The greens, the pinks and the froggy doodles are perfect for summer.

7. Summer Bullet Journal Gratitude Log
@willbujofor.treats
Keeping a gratitude log is so important for many reasons, making them pretty is a major bonus. The coloured card is a great addition to your journal that can be found here on amazon. The stamps can also be found here.
I don’t know about you but I believe tulips are one of the prettiest flowers ever! This cover idea for the summer is lovely as the drawing style is quite quirky and it also uses colouring pencils, so its a bit more therapeutic to recreate than this would be with markers.
This summer bullet journal spread is GREAT for keeping track of your summer playlist. Having it written down on paper forever is so coo, so when you look at your journal in 10 years time, you can cringe at your music taste 😂.
These trackers combine pastels, palm trees and even a bit of maths in the form of a mood tracker graph. I genuinely think this mood tracker graph idea is genius because you can see how ‘up’ and ‘down’ your mood is.
Lavender florals are always so pretty and this journal cover is no exception. Not only is it pretty but it is very simple and easy to draw. Definitely pick up some fineliner pens with different sized nibs for this spread as it will add a nice dimension and effect to this summer bullet journal spread.
Another great post from Sarah in the form of the prettiest flying insects around: butterflies. The pastel colours are great for summer but once again you do not need to stick with these colours, you can change them to whatever you like.

If you are looking to save some money and need some help to do so, these savings tracker printables will help you reach your goal!
Saving money can be super hard and restrict you from doing so many things. What if I tell you, it doesn’t have to be that way? Tracking your savings and keeping tabs on where your money is going is the KEY to save some extra cash.
A savings tracker is a visual representation of your savings. You can be saving for literally anything: a new car, a holiday, a new pair of boots… whatever you would like.
Savings trackers are amazing tools that will help you reach your savings goals because each time you save up to the new milestone, you get to tick it off/ colour it in.
Savings Tracker PDF download
Here you can sign up to receive a free pack of savings tracker for you to use! Not only do I use these savings tracker in my budget planner, I also use a bunch of these savings tracker for bullet journal, as you’ll see after you download them below.
Want more than three savings trackers? Click here to check out our Etsy pack with 7 savings tracker options!
How to use Savings Trackers:
As said above, savings tracker are amazing tools to reach your money goals. Within this pack, I am going to show you what I use each free savings tracker for.
For ease of presentation and privacy, I have used my GoodNotes app to fill out my free savings tracker templates.
That is another great thing about these savings trackers, you don’t have to print them out and use them in your journal, you can keep them on your tablet and use them digitally, too.
These first two trackers are super cool and simple for tracking savings. I used the thermometer as how a thermometer is usually used and coloured in the line whenever I got to the milestone.
With the jar, I could have gone a few ways, one being similar to the thermometer and the other doing what I have done here. I decided to draw coins within the jar, just to make this savings tracker a but more fun. Of course you do not have to use coins, you can go ahead and draw whatever you would like. For example, if you are saving for a new car, you can draw wheels, or steering wheels.
For the final tracker in the free savings tracker printable pack, I have used the cloud savings tracker not a savings tracker, but a weight-loss tracker (see how versatile these trackers can be?) This tracker is absolutely perfect because there’s so many clouds that you can put a lot of milestones in place and overall just looks a but more fun. I suggest using the biggest cloud at the top as the pinnacle of your goal.
Wait.. there’s more savings trackers?
If you love these savings trackers, there is a whole pack, with 4 more trackers, available on my Etsy! Here are some of them below:
They come in both: A4 and A5 size (so that’s Letter and ‘Half Letter’ size!) I am obsessed with the graph tracker and the 10k tracker!
There we have it, three awesome free savings tracker printables for you to use and reach all of your savings goals! Let me know if you give this a download and use them, as they are perfect for your journal. If you download our pack on Etsy, let me know, too 🙂
Looking to save some money? This post is showing you exactly how using our sinking funds tracker will help you achieve your money goals!
If saving money has always been quite difficult for you, or you are looking to save towards a particular goal, sinking funds are your solution. Trust me on this, sinking funds have been proven to save me 1,000s in the past year. Using this free sinking funds tracker PDF can help you save 100s, too.
Before we get into how great our sinking funds tracker template is, let’s get into what sinking funds really are.
What are Sinking Funds?
Sinking funds are great money saving trackers that essentially help you save money towards a particular goal. Think of each fund as an individual piggy bank that you put money towards as often as you like.
For example, for my sinking funds I put money in every single month as I get paid. However, a lot of American people, will put money in twice a month (as they get paid twice a month.)
Sinking fund trackers are used to keep track of your sinking funds and keep you motivated and know exactly where all of your money is going. Scroll down to download your individual sinking funds tracker free pdf!
Now, for sinking funds a tracker is a key but you also need to think… where am i going to keep all of my money? I have you covered here, too.
Sinking Funds Equipment
In addition to your sinking funds tracker, here are two items I highly recommend using to help keep track of each of your funds separately and physically.
I LOVE these items and use these exact ones to separate and contain all of my funds. I have my ziplock folders within my binder, with each folder labelled to the corresponding fund.
For the labels I went in with myDymo label printer to print and stick on each fund label. I toyed with the idea of just having sticky labels I could write on but this label printer won as it has a much cleaner look and I can use it for so may more things!
So where does the sinking funds tracker come into this?
If you are looking for a more yearly structured and detailed sinking funds planner, check out my digital sinking funds planner posts, that you can also print out!
I print out my sinking funds tracker sheet and slot it into the front of my ring binder so I can keep track of the balance! As each sheet has 4 funds on it, it saves so much space and is more economical. Each fund comes with 12 rows within the ‘date’ column, one for each month of the year!
I have used GoodNotes on my iPad to give you a demonstration of how I use the free sinking funds tracker below.
We’ve already spoken about the separate funds tracker, so let’s talk about the monthly sinking funds tracker. This tracker is SO GOOD. You essentially list all of your funds for a particular month/ date and state how much you have added and or spent from that sinking fund.
There’s also a spent/ added section where you can state the respective amounts. If you budget monthly, this pack is great, especially if you dip into your sinking funds during those months. Below I have put in a brief example of how I use this sinking fund tracker.
When these two trackers are used in conjunction together, it really gives you a much more effective grip on your finances and you can effectively see how much money you have in your whole funds per month!
For example, I have started the month off in May with £220 in my gifts budget, however during that month I bought a pair of jeans for my sisters birthday for £60, therefore I place -60 into the +/- column and then at the end of the month, I put £160 in the end column!
When I say this pack has SAVED my finances and helped me save 1000s for a holiday and car, I mean it!

Looking for the perfect gift for the student in your life? These are the BEST gifts for University students they would love to receive in 2021!
University, College, further education, party central, whatever you want to call it, it is so difficult to buy gifts for students who attend these establishments. ‘What do they want? What do they even like? Will they actually use what I get them?’ These are all questions said on a daily basis when wondering whats gifts to get the university student in your life.
Luckily for you, as a former student I know EXACTLY what students need and want as gifts. What’s even more great, all of these gifts for university students are gifts they will LOVE to receive!
This post is all about gifts for university students
What to buy for a university student?
Now I know how tricky it can be to get a gift for the student in your life, so I have separated this post into useful sections:
No matter your budget and criteria, there is a gift for every type of student in this post! For ease of navigation, I have separated this gift guide into the following price ranges. Make sure to click below for gifts within your budget.
The gifts in this post are as unisex as possible but there are a few items in here geared more towards women and some more geared towards men.
Speaking of budgets, have you downloaded our FREE Christmas Planner Printable? It is an absolute life saver and will keep you super organised for the Christmas season. Click here for the post!
Useful Gifts for Students
The next few items are all very useful gift ideas for university students that they can use for the entirety of university and beyond.
We are starting off strong with one of the best gifts I have ever received as a university student! This nifty little thing is an alarm clock, radio, speaker, telephone, audio text messages, and more in one! I genuinely mentally catch myself thinking ‘Alexa, set a timer….’ when i am out in public!
I also have not sent an alarm on my phone in years, and trust me, anyone with the iphone alarm tone will thank you forever if you buy them this!
For under 25, you really cannot go wrong with this gift for university students. PS: these are currently 50% off!
We’ve all seen some student accommodation flooring and if you haven’t be lucky, because they are filthy. These comfy slippers are a perfect gifts for university students as they are extremely multifunctional. If they have dirty floors, there are perfect. If they have a cold house, these are perfect. If they like being cosy, these are perfect. If they want to save money by turning off the heating and do not want their toes to fall off, perfect.
These slippers also come in a range of colours, making them EVEN more perfect.
This is such a great food gifts for university students. This cookbook can be used by anyone, regardless of their cooking ability, to create some great nutritious, cheap meals! This will seriously help the uni student in your life!
I spoke about these babies in 20+ things every fresher needs and there is a reason I am mentioning them again. I am buying these for my brothers for Christmas as I believe every single person, student or no, needs one of these on their desks.
There’s nothing like sitting down with a hot cup of tea/ coffee, getting ready to start your work, only for it to get cold 5 seconds later (exaggeration x100000). This nifty thing allows you to stop hot beverage wasting and keep your drink warmer for longer.
Now I boo this exact gift for my sister and she uses it religiously!
This is probably one of the best gifts for university students in this list and here’s why: you can tie this hot water-bottle onto you so it is basically hands free! The wearer can tie it onto themselves wherever they want. Back pain, stomach pain, leg pain, you can tie this hot water bottle onto you and will keep you toasty warm and hopefully pain free. This will keep your student super warm in the winter months and beyond.
If the student in your life travels with a bunch of electronics/ takes regular trips to the library, this is the case for them. This nifty, handy dandy electronics cable organizer is a perfect christmas gift for university and college students as it will keep all of their cords nice and organised instead of winding around everything in their bags.
These cases come in a range of colours so you are bound to find one in the perfect colour for a gift.
On the topic of mugs, this travel mug from Chilli is a fantastic gifts for university students! Not only are these super environmentally friendly compared to disposable cups but they keep hot drinks hot for hours. This is also a great money saver as you can bring in hot drinks from home instead of buying one from out.
These also come in a plethora of colours to suit the student in your life.
Yep, there really is a Tassimo coffee machine on sale for £29.99 at the moment. If the giftee is a coffee lover then you should snatch up this machine as it is such a bargain.
Tassimo are a great coffee pod brand and have collaborations with Lor, Costa, and a few other brands. We have a Tassimo Bosch machine at home and not a day goes by when it isn’t used!

These smart bulbs are seriously cool and will definitely score you some brownie points when gift giving. The great thing about these bulbs is that you can change the light intensity and colour all from the comfort of your bed, using the phone app.
Before buying, I would check if their lightbulb is a bush in or twisty one.
Did anyone think Croc’s would be stylish? Me neither, however they are, and ultimately one of the perfect gifts for students. They will probably wear these everywhere (I saw a girl on tiktok wear them in her uni shower!)
Crocs are unisex and come in a range of colours (like maybe 50 or so!), so if you are suck for ideas, definitely check out a pair of crocs.
Gifts for University Students Girl
Now here is one for all of the uni girls in your life! Each of these gifts are super cute and a gift she will love forever!
I got this exact kit for Christmas when I was a student and it was a GAME CHANGER for me. This is such an amazing gift idea as it will save the giftee so much time, effort and money. You literally spend around 10 minutes doing your nails and they last for absolute ages and its super cheap compared to getting your nails done.
This unisex jumper is perfect for every student. It’s the ultimate cosy and warm jumper that everyone needs at home. This also comes in a range of colours so it should definitely be an option.
Candles are my go-to gift for any occasion. Why? You can never go wrong with a candle. This Christmas Cookie one is my personal favourite and can be burned all year round (hey, don’t judge.)
Both of my brothers’ have one in their rooms, I have one in mine- it’s safe to say our house smells like a bakery :D.
Remember, if you do not like this scent, there’s so many options. However, since this is a gift I would recommend going for popular/ vanilla based scents as people tend to like those more.
Enjoying this Christmas post? Here’s more to check out:
Now I WISH Amazon had these when I was at university. There are so many different varieties to chose from (eg. you can go for a floral one, pink, blue, etc.) This is such a cool gift that I recommend for everyone to purchase 😉
Polaroids are all the rage right now. In fact, I got an Instax for my birthday one year in sixth form and I have used it for 8 years so far…. 8 years!
It’s amazing for memory keepers and is just a very lovely and personal gift that they can use to document their university experience with. It also comes in a range of colours for you to chose from.
If a polaroid camera is not their things, then printing photos is definitely it! I have this Canon Zoe Mini and absolutely love it!
If someone got me this gift, even now in my mid 20s, I would probably cry with happiness. You take photos on your phone and print them off as polaroids so you have both a digital copy and a physical copy.
IN. LOVE.
PS. the navy blue colour is on sale in the UK atm.
We love a 2-in-1 gift. Here you will get both a holdall and a makeup toiletry bag. Coming in 5 different colour options there is definitely a colour that will suit the giftee.
The bag is also perfect dimensions to take travelling with you on holiday and on the train as it fits under the seat.
Gifts for University Students Boy
Now here is one for all of the uni guy in your life! Each of these gifts are super cool and a gift he will love forever!
These diffusers are perfect as a gift, especially for someone who likes their room to smell nice. The nice thing about diffusers is that they last for ages and really do help a room smell divine.
These diffusers are muskier, heavier scents so not overly sweet, which is fantastic!
This holdall is a PERFECT gift for a boy and is to be used as a travel bag. With multiple pockets and compartments this bag will help them keep organised and is a bag they can use for years! If you have noticed that your student is lacking in the bag department, get them this!
This bag also adheres to all new carry-on airport regulations just to be safe!
This unisex jumper is perfect for every student. It’s the ultimate cosy and warm jumper that everyone needs at home. This also comes in a range of colours so it should definitely be an option.
As far as puzzles go, this one is super cool! This is such an amazing gifts for university students because it can be done both solo and with housemates etc. It shakes things up from the traditional socks and boxers. If you know someone who would appreciate this, go get it!
This mug is such a funny gift and makes for a great secret santa/ stocking stuffer! it even comes with a coaster to ensure no hot drink marks are left behind for landlords to catch.
This is probably one of, if not the most, COOLEST gifts for university students in this list. If they are a true crime lover, love solving problems, need something fun to do with family/ friends then this is the gift for them. Give them a gift of solving a murder for Christmas. Who could want anything better?
I know, I know we try and stay away from giving gift cards. However, if nothing on this extensive list tickles your fancy, then this gift card is perfect. You can pick your value and also change up the box if you’d like.
Here me out, I would DIE if someone got me this gift. The truth is laptop keyboards are so difficult to type on. Save your student’s wrists and get them a keyboard. This one is soo cool and comes in a bunch of colours and settings that are adjustable. Also, the key sound is LUSH.
There we have it some awesome gifts for university students they would love to receive! Let me know if you pick anything up or leave some suggestions below if you have any other ideas!

The great thing about this FREE printable? You can use this for this year and re-use it for next year, too! Also, if you do not have a printer this PDF is compatible with all note-taking apps (I use mine on Goodnotes) and works exactly the same.
Right, so what’s actually in this Christmas Planner Printable pack?
1. Overall To-Do and Card Tracker
This first half of this page is essentially an overall to-do brain dump where you can have an overview of everything you need to do! If you find you have more to do’s than the space provided its so simple to print out/ duplicate another sheet.
The second half is a Christmas card tracker, which is great for you to put who you’re giving cards to and track whether you have sent them or not.
Up next we have the Christmas Budget Printable. As it shows on the sheet you put the category, the amount you are budgeting for it, the actual amount you spent and whether you are over or under budget.
This sheet is AMAZING. You can keep track of every single penny and know if one category needs less money/ more money to spend on it.

Probably one of the best trackers in this Christmas printable planner. Why? You need to use this tracker to get how amazing it is. I have dedicated two pages in this planner for a gift tracker so you can keep track of every single present you are giving out.
Using the present budget you assigned to presents in the budget tracker on page two, you can assign each person a budget and write down all of the presents you have gotten them and then the actual price.
This is a great way to keep track of the presents you have bought and who for!
5. On The Menu
If you are hosting Christmas dinner this year, this is the perfect page to put your menu on! This is a great page to use as it will keep you from over/ under cooking. For example, I know during my family Christmas dinners, we ALWAYS seem to undercook the amount of roast potatoes. This Christmas planner page will remind me to cook the right amount (which in our case is probably around 50+ potatoes 😂.)
If you are not hosting Christmas dinner this year, this page is still great for you to put some fun festive recipes you would like to cook this Holiday season, like a peppermint latte, or a gingerbread house.
6. Shopping List
Lastly we have a general shopping list. This page is great for you to put the food and festive bits you definitely need to get this season and then tick it off when you do!
