Long-Distance Gifts

Gifts For A Student Living Away From Home

Students away from home are short on money, cooking equipment and sleep, and long on new material for anyone writing about them. A gift that teases the situation and offers concrete help works better than another parcel of pasta.

Tease the transition

The laundry, the budgeting, the ambitious first-week timetable.

Attach practical offers

Lifts, a food shop, a no-questions phone call at an unreasonable hour.

What makes it personal

Use the specifics of their course, city and housemates.

What we would make

Relationship Coupon Booklet — $4.99

Ten redeemable coupons written around your actual habits together — the favours, gestures and small truces that only make sense in your relationship.

  • A booklet including one emergency lift and one unquestioned food shop.
  • An assessment of their first term's domestic performance.
  • A card sent in the difficult second month rather than the first week.

Also worth considering: Government-Issued Relationship Report Card, Digital Emergency Card & Envelope.

  2. We write the gift from your answers and show you the finished thing.
  3. Pay $4.99 once, then download the clean file or send the private link.
