A couple of days ago my baby cousin ventured off to start a new chapter in her life by going to University! As a girl who loves to give, I wanted to get her something useful and cute for her to take to her new place, but since I've never been to University, I was at a loss on what she would need. In the end I went for a 'little luxuries' hamper that she wouldn't necessarily buy/afford when away from home.
If you know me well, you'll know that I can never just give one present, I always get far too carried away. So after days on the internet trawling through what to put in this hamper, I finally made a list on what to put in it.
Here is a list of the items I bought:
- Mini shampoo & conditioners.
- Dried pasta.
- Savoury rice.
- Hot chocolate sachets.
- Chocolates & sweets.
- Shot glasses.
- Cookies.
- Chewing gum.
- Nutella (a real winner!).
- Can of an alcohol mixer.
- Fluffy pyjamas.
- Fluffy socks.
- Paracetamol (obviously)
- Cold & Flu relief.
As you can see it all escalated pretty quickly and I had to buy a bigger box, you can get some really cute boxes for less than £4. But even the box I used couldn't fit in the pyjamas and socks, so they just went in my original box I had for the hamper.
I thought this post would be handy for anyone who's friend/family are heading off to Uni and wanted to give them a going away present. This is just my take on a typical University hamper, but you could change this to the particular person you are buying for and what budget you have.I hope you found this interesting or even helpful, as Uni season hits full swing!
Did you get a University hamper? What would you put in one?
