University Care Box


So my cousin has been at university for a couple of months now, and even though we hardly hear from him, I thought it would be nice to send him a little box of goodies. I remember one of the best things about uni was getting mail so I hope he likes it and actually gets in contact to say thank you!

Here's what I'm putting in it:




So we have the uni kitchen essentials like coffee and pot noodles, and some Mikado to snack on while concentrating really hard on his studies.
I put in some toiletries like toothpaste and shower gel, and some easy cleaning products like 'Multi Action Wipes' and some in-cistern blocks for his toilet, both from Tesco, to keep it fresh. Boys rooms can get a bit smelly so I included an air freshener to keep it nice and fresh.
One of the best things we had at uni were door wedges so we talk to each other from our rooms, I have no clue if this is something Dan needs, but I think it's a good idea for that all important socialising.
For the drinking, there is Jägermeister for those bombs and drinking games, a pack of cards featuring the rules of Ring of Fire (making it much quicker to start drinking as you don't have to work out and write down all the rules), shot glasses, straws, the basics.
And then for when he has a hangover, and feels awful, there's Berocca to give him a boost and some soothers for that sore throat.
Other little extras I put in include Pro Plus and a Rock Star energy drink to help with those all-nighters sat at the computer trying to finish an essay by morning, some Glu Dots to harmlessly stick posters up on the walls and some face paints and glo-glasses for the themed fancy dress nights out.
And, of course, because I like to be embarrass my younger cousin (and also so he's safe!), I put in some Durex condoms.

I hope Dan enjoys my little care box, I doubt I'll hear a thank you from him as he's not been chatty at all so far! I like to think he'll like it though, otherwise I'll just have to think of more embarrassing things to send up to him. My Mum use to send me postcards featuring Jax once a week, maybe I could do something like that...

Any ideas of what to put in the box next?
All help is appreciated! I started running out of ideas near the end!
