We asked ChatGPT for a Valentine’s Day gift guide to suit every Liverpool student

It’s almost the big day, and we’re dreading the thought of you heading into Liverpool ONE at any point on Friday to fight off the last minute buyers to find the perfect gift for the romantic Liverpool student in your life.

With various characters across campus, it can be difficult to find the present to match that personality. You want to go all out every year, but end up grabbing a bunch of flowers and some chocolate on the way to your date night in a state of panic, and promise your partner that next Valentine’s Day will be the one instead.

Luckily ChatGPT knows Liverpool students better than we do ourselves.

Here’s the ultimate gift guide for every type of university personality which are certain to impress your other half. Don’t worry, you don’t have to thank us. We’re here every year.

Baltic Triangle hipsters

Ah, the Carhartt warrior Baltic Triangle resident. These types of students are typically found browsing vinyl collections for niche bands while sipping artisanal coffee that costs more than your weekly Tesco shop. If you’re buying for one of these creative souls, here’s what ChatGPT recommends.

Specialty Coffee Beans: Save the coffee connoisseurs student loan with specialty beans from 92 Degrees or Neighbourhood Coffee Roasters. Make sure you know your cappuccinos from your lattes. 

Pottery Workshop Experience: Frankie’s Paint-it-Pottery or Make Liverpool will have them expressing their emotions with a creative flare. 

Gig Tickets: 24 Kitchen Street or Camp and Furnace to entertain the music buffs with the never ending tunes.

Library lovers

For those who dream of their Friday nights best spent curled up with a book and a mug of tea. They’re cozy, productive, and probably have colour-coded sticky notes for everything.

Blind Date with a Book: Wrap up a book and keep it a surprise (romantic and mysterious). If you’re unsure, a Waterstones gift card is always a winner if your feeling less confident. 

Personalized Mug: Bonus points if it has a picture of their pet, initials, or a cheesy inspirational quote. A nice idea to keep them warm all season. 

Fancy Stationery: Notebooks, pens, and sticky notes—because a library lover can never have enough. These will be a life saver when the tough deadlines come looming.

Noise-Cancelling Headphones: While a more expensive treat, blocking out those chatty study group invaders is the dream of any loyal library goer.

Smithdown socialites

These legends practically live at the Brookhouse, know every pub crawl route, and have perfected the art of a cheeky pint. If you could gift them unlimited entries to the Black Cat Pub Quiz they’d be over the moon. ChatGPT suggests these speciality gifts for the Smithdown Road student in your life.

Dinner Date at Spitroast or Handyman: Delicious and vibey. Get that booking in quick if you fancy it for Valentine’s Day though!

Hangover Survival Kit: The hangover cure is an art none of us have mastered, however some snacks, energy drinks, and maybe even a pint voucher for their next sesh (because let’s face it, they’ll be back at it) will surely help the headache.

DIY Treat Box from Naked Lunch: Fill it with their fave pastries and cakes to line their stomach before the next big night. There’s something about snacks from an independent spot on Smithdown Road that’ll send them wild.

Budget conscious baddies

If you’re searching for gifts for your other half on a budget, then this is the route to take. There’s no reason why you can’t go all out with a sentimental present, even if you’ve been told not to spend a fortune!

DIY Sefton Park Date: Blankets, snacks, and maybe a speaker for some tunes. Very wholesome and scenic watching the world go by. 

Home-Cooked Dinner Challenge: Spend £10 each and see who can make the fanciest dish. Bonus points if you rock-paper-scissors for deciding who picks which courses. 

Love Notes & Handmade Gifts: Nothing says romance like a homemade keepsake. This is an easy one for the sentimental student in your life – and for anyone who’ll be happy to see you haven’t splashed the cash on a huge gift.

Bold Street Charity Shop Hunt: You never know what gems you’ll find – from vintage coats to bizarre knick-knacks, thrifting some personalised pieces is the key to anyone’s heart.

Rugby Lads

If your Valentine is more familiar with scrums than seminar rooms, here’s what ChatGPT suggests for the sports social lover in your life.

Engraved Hip Flask: Essential for Wednesday socials or game celebrations. They’ll never be so prepared for pres. 

Merch or Gym Gear: Because they can never have enough, obviously.

Massage Guns & Muscle Rubs: Think of the ease for those post-match or gym aches.

Scrapbook of Match Memories: Include funny costume photos from their recent socials, they’ll love it. I’d probably avoid using the pics of them throwing up outside Disco Spoons if I were you though.

Match Day Playlist: To get them hyped before games. Pick out some mood-boosting songs to blast in their headphones while pumping up in the gym.

Liverpool ONE shopaholics

If their idea of cardio is sprinting to the Zara sale in Liverpool ONE, here’s how to impress them this Valentine’s Day with some thoughtful (and easy to find) gifts for the shopaholic student in your life.

Gift Card for a Shopping Spree: Let them refresh their spring wardrobe guilt-free.

LUSH Gift Set: Bath bombs and shower treats for peak self-care vibes. Let the scent entice you in – you wont regret it. 

Spa Day Voucher: Urban Calm is the place to go for some serious R&R because relaxation never goes out of style. 

Polaroid Camera: Capture all the chaotic student moments without filling up phone storage.

There you have it! Valentine’s Day gift ideas straight from the AI that clearly understands Liverpool students on a spiritual level. Whether you’re treating your partner, bestie, or even just yourself (self love for the win), there’s something here for everyone.

Happy gifting, lovers!
