Birthday present ideas for DSD going to uni?

So it's my DSD's 18th next week. Me and her dad aren't together any more so I don't see her very often but have maintained a relationship. I've no idea what to get her as she has everything! Any ideas?
She is starting uni in September so I also wondered if there is anything I could do/ buy to prepare her for that?

Was just thinking that a Costa voucher was a great idea then remembered that she works at costa 🤣🤣

Netflix subscription.

Hours of entertainment and a good way to bond with people in your dorm.

Cinema or easyJet vouchers!

A gift card for the nearest shopping centre
A toiletries hamper including sanitary products and other everyday essentials so she doesn't have to spend her money on that
A photo of you,her dad and her in a funky frame
A railcard and student union card

I think I would keep in mind it's her 18th too. But a pretty throw for her bed and a pair of stud earrings would meet the personal gift/practical gift.

A few kitchen bits perhaps? Towels, sheets, a clothes horse? Not exciting but super useful. An asda voucher perhaps (or look at what supermarkets are near where she plans to go) as they are best for household stuff if you don't know what she needs

Another thought. Travel mug or stainless steel insulated water bottle.
