University Doormat Gift Guide: Doormats Every Student Flat Needs

Aug 7, 2025 Sally Stephenson

Our University Doormat Edit is curated with students in mind - bold, witty, durable, and ready to survive everything from Freshers’ Week to finals. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or buying a gift for the student in your life, we’ve got three categories to suit every personality: Funny, Welcoming, and Alcohol-Themed.

Funny Doormats

Student life isn’t always glamorous, but it can be hilarious. A funny doormat turns your doorstep into a conversation starter; perfect for visitors, delivery drivers, and flatmates who need a giggle after lectures.

Welcoming Doormats

If your flat is more “open house” than “keep out,” a welcoming doormat is the perfect way to greet friends, parents, and neighbours (yes, even the one who keeps asking to borrow things).

Alcohol-Themed Doormats

It wouldn’t be university without a little nod to social nights and celebratory drinks. Our alcohol-themed doormats are light-hearted and perfect for flats that love hosting.

A doormat is more than just somewhere to wipe your shoes - it’s the first impression of your home. Whether it’s making people laugh, feel welcome, or ready for a party, our University Doormat edit has something to suit every student flat.

Tough, easy to clean, and bursting with personality. They’re a perfect addition to any student home and a great gift for Freshers, housewarmings, or just because.
