Angel delight...
Tomato sauce..or brown
marmalade/marmite
some bars of chocolate or small packets of sweets
Hot chocolate
coffee/tea bags
maybe some washing powder
washing up liquid and a tea towel
A £10 girft card for the supermarket nearest to her...for emergencies.

Maybe an item of something luxury that she wouldnt think of buying herself...some nice shampoo/conditioner/shower gel

If you're going to get pasta then how about some of the dolmio stir in sauces to go with it..

You could also put together a simple cook book in a folder or a book...making it as simple or complicated as you want.recipies for spag bol,chilli, pasta bake,basic sponge cake etc..

A small first aid kit,plasters bottle of TCP,savlon

Brill ideas what a thoughtful sister you are I did a similar thing for my godson when he went to uni. Got a large laundry basket and filled it with useful bits and bobs. Yes doorstop for the trips up and down the stairs unloading the car. I bought giant bags of pasta, rice, toilet rolls, toothpastes, soaps, cleaning stuff, wooden spoons, pizza cutter, mugs, crate of beer, saucepans, frying pan, plasters, sewing kit, biscuits, sweeties, savoury rice, pot noodle, tin foil, cling film, bin bags. Toiletries are expensive so I bought deodorants etc. agree too with the condoms etc although think freshers week has that covered. Also did a tesco delivery once a month he craved proper cooked meals bless him and asked for fruit and veg weirdo!!
