The University Survival Kit They’ll Actually Want
Heading off to university is exciting. It’s also the beginning of questionable cooking, late nights, last-minute deadlines, empty fridges and learning that yes, apparently you do have to buy your own toilet roll.
 
Our Personalised University Survival Kit is a funny, practical and brilliantly different gift for someone heading off to uni. Packed with snacks, caffeine, emergency supplies and plenty of questionable advice, it’s designed to help them survive Freshers Week – and everything that comes after it.
 
Whether you're looking for a going to university gift for your son or daughter, a funny results day present, a Freshers Week care package or something to send when they're away from home, choose from three different versions to suit your budget.
And because university is stressful enough, we'll do the personalising.
 
Choose Your University Survival Kit
🎓 Letterbox Survival Kit
A budget-friendly university care package that can be sent straight to their new address.
Includes:
“Hello, My Name Is…” Sticker
Personalised with their name, plus the all-important:
“If you find me passed out, please return me to…”
Add Mum, Dad, their halls, housemates – or wherever you think they’re most likely to need returning to.
Regret Mints
Freshen up your poor life choices.
(Tic Tacs disguised as something far more useful.)
Rocket Fuel Energy Tablets
For mornings when getting out of bed requires considerably more power than expected.
Emergency Chocolate
A large Galaxy chocolate bar. Because some university emergencies can, in fact, be solved with chocolate.
5 Easy Student Recipes
Simple microwave and air fryer-friendly recipes they might actually manage to cook.
The recipe band reads:
“So easy even YOU can do them.”
Or give us your own cheeky message about their cooking abilities and we'll personalise it.

🎁 Deluxe University Survival Kit
Everything from the Letterbox Survival Kit, presented in our larger gift box,
PLUS:
How Not to Completely Fall Apart – A University Survival Guide
Our own funny student survival booklet, packed with genuinely useful university advice delivered with a healthy dose of humour.
 
From surviving Freshers Week to navigating student life, it's something they can keep and refer back to when adulthood isn't going quite according to plan.
 
Hangover Food Flyer
Because eventually they're going to need it.
Includes a handy QR code taking them to local takeaway options.
 
Midnight Munchies Pack
For late-night hunger, post-night-out emergencies and those moments when the food cupboard contains nothing except a suspiciously old packet of pasta.
Includes:
• 2 packs of Fish & Chips crisps
• Hot chocolate
• 2 large cookies
 
☕ Deluxe University Survival Kit + Personalised Mug
Everything included in our Deluxe Survival Kit PLUS their very own personalised university mug.
Choose from four designs:
1. “I Have a Degree in Leaving Things Until the Last Minute”
2. “[Name] – Future Graduate, Current Disaster”
3. “[Name] – Currently Running on Snacks and Bad Decisions”
4. “[Name] – Powered by Caffeine and Panic”
Perfect for coffee, tea, instant noodles and staring blankly into while wondering why they left an assignment until 11pm the night before it was due.
 
Make It Personal
This isn't just another generic student gift. We'll personalise their University Survival Kit especially for them.
 
Simply tell us:
• Student's name – for their personalised box design
• “Return me to…” details – for their Hello My Name Is sticker
• A cheeky comment about their cooking skills – for their recipe band
• Student's name for their mug if choosing the mug option
• Your gift message, if you'd like us to include one
Can't think of something funny for the cooking label? Leave it to us – we're quite good at being cheeky.
 
Sending It Straight to University?
Absolutely.
We can send your gift directly to the student, making it a lovely surprise for someone who's moved away from home.
The Letterbox Survival Kit is particularly good for sending directly to university accommodation as it's designed to fit through a standard letterbox.
The Deluxe versions arrive beautifully presented and ready for them to open.

Packed & Personalised by Little P's
Every University Survival Kit is put together and personalised by us at Little P's in Somerset.
 
We love creating gifts that are a little different, thoughtful enough to show someone you care, but in this case, cheeky enough that they won't accuse you of getting sentimental.
 
Just add their details and we'll take care of the rest.
