What can I put in the box I'm giving to my best friend who is going to uni? :)

My best friend is going to university this year and I make her a going away box :smile: I'm making a scrapbook for her but want to put lots of little things in the box that will be useful/needed but also fun things if that makes sense. Does anyone have any ideas? :smile:

Aw.

Well, a box that can put tissue paper in case she gets a cold would be nice :smile:

Might as well just stuff the box with tampons...
What about little objects from inside jokes between you? Or stationary things like notepads, a fancy pen, a handmade pen pot or something? You could also buy her some photo frames and put pictures of the two of you in them or of all of her friends/family? What about one of those calendars that you can customise with your own photos so for each month you could put a different picture of things that will remind her of good times? Then she has something to remember you by but also something she can use :smile:

I hope these help! Good Luck in finding something :')

Door stop. So she can have her door open when she first moves in to meet all those flatmates. Most hall doors are fire-doors so will shut without a door stop.
How about a kind of first aid kit? That way every time she doesn't feel well she'll still know you're someone she can turn to :smile:
