Sending your child abroad for studies is a proud yet emotional milestone. As a parent, you want to make sure they have everything they need to feel at home while adjusting to a new culture, climate, and routine. That first shipment from India becomes more than just a box — it's a bundle of comfort, care, and confidence. Here’s what every Indian student truly needs in their first parcel abroad.

1. Indian Spices & Ready-to-Eat Food

The hardest thing for most students? Missing home-cooked food. Include:

• A well-packed masala box with must-have spices (jeera, haldi, garam masala, etc.)

• Ready-to-eat meal packs (upma, poha, rajma-chawal)

• Snacks like theplas, khakras, dry chutneys, or mixture for those midnight cravings

Tip: Always vacuum seal or pack dry food tightly in zip-locks or airtight containers to preserve freshness and avoid customs issues.

2. Kitchen Basics & Utensils

Small things are big saviors. Include:

• Pressure cooker (check electric stove compatibility)

• Rolling pin and board (belan & chakla) for homemade rotis

• Steel plates, masala dabba, grater, and basic knives

Choose lightweight versions to manage weight limits and avoid duplicates with roommates.

3. Medicines & Essentials

Students fall sick often due to weather and food changes. Include:

• Basic medicines (Crocin, Digene, ORS, balms) with prescriptions

• Vicks, Hajmola, and nasal sprays

• A small First-Aid Kit

Always carry a prescription or a note from a doctor to pass customs without hassle.

4. Daily Comfort Items

From winterwear to sentimental things:

• Warm blankets or a light razai

• Woolen socks, gloves, and scarves

• Family photos, Rakhi, or even a handwritten note to fight homesickness

5. Stationery & Religious Items

Quality stationery is costlier abroad, and familiar religious items help students feel grounded.

• Notebooks, pens, adapters

• Small idol, prayer books, or rudraksha
