Good Luck In Your Exams Gift Ideas

March 27, 2024

Ooh exams, we expect that you all have memories of how you felt about revising and going into your exams. The tense build up, the excitement of having ‘study periods’ instead of lessons and then the anxiety and anticipation of turning over the exam paper and finding out whether you’d revised enough.

We still have memories of the smell of the exam hall, the room so quiet that you could hear a pin drop and the tick tick tick of the clock counting away the seconds. Exams are possibly very different today but we anticipate that - as the time for GCSE, ‘A’ Level and Degree exams rapidly approaches - students will still be experiencing a mixture of pressure, stress, anticipation and anxiety, along with a mixture of high hopes, dread and expectation.

So, today we’re going to focus on gifts for exams - to say Good Luck in your exams, keep going with your revision, You’ve Got This - because they’ve come through a lot to get here and we think they deserve a treat to keep them going and anticipate that you will think so too.

So, we’ve looked through our gift selection at Box of Hugs and put together our top 10 gift ideas which could be included in a ‘Build Your Own’ Box of Hugs to send to your children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces, friends or anyone else who has exams coming up. Whether you want to put together a Revision Support Pack, Exam Survival Pack, a Good Luck in Your Exams gift box, a You’ve Got This gift box or something else for them, we think we’ve got you covered.

Our top 10 gift ideas to say good luck (…in no particular order):

1. Sweets

Who doesn’t love sweets.... If we were putting a box together for ourselves or for our kids we’d definitely be including sweets.

2. Chocolate

Another must in our books.... Choose from our lovely selection of chocolate bars and treats to suit all tastes - including vegan options.

3. Biscuits

We can’t put a box together for our family and friends without adding biscuits. Packs of biscuits are great to share with a study group too. We love Cartwright & Butler biscuits but there's lots more to choose from.... including vegan and gluten free options :-)

Include Biscuits In Your good Luck Gift Box

4. Something savoury

We love cheese biscuits so we think that adding cheese straws or crackers to a gift box brings a delicious savoury twist.

5. Something to drink

Studying and revising requires something soothing to wind down at the end of the day, choose from tea, coffee, hot chocolate or how about a bottle of fizz to enjoy once the exams are over? Add a mug for an extra hug and positivity boost.

6. Popcorn

Something not too unhealthy to nibble on while they concentrate on their revision.

7. Notebooks and pencils

A great way to keep track of their studies and ideas or to write out their worries.

8. Something to say ‘You've Got This’

Choose from tokens they can hang up or carry with them as a reminder that you believe in them, a mini palm pall to bring a smile to their face or ‘You’ve Got This’ inspirational quote cards to give them a boost everyday.

9. A Little Wish

Why not include ‘a little wish’ bracelet, worry crystals or a ‘Dream Believe Achieve’ bracelet - a gift to remind them to believe in themselves.

10. Warmies

They can heat one of these lovely Warmies soft animal buddies up when they need a warm hug to get them through. Perfect when you can’t be there to give them a hug yourself.

So what will you choose to send? Can’t decide? Why not buy two Boxes - one to send to them now to encourage them with their revision and one to send when their exams start. Simply:

1. Select two Box of Hugs gifts from our ‘ready made’ collections OR
2. Put together two Box of Hugs from our ‘build your own’ selection

At checkout:

1. Select a card for each box
2. Add your message for each box with a note to us to say which message is to go with which box.
3. Add a note to say when you want each box to be sent.

We’ll then pack your boxes and send them out for you. If you have any questions please contact us here.

Wishing everyone the best of luck in their exams :-)

With love and hugs

Lucy, Anna and Sophie,

The Box of Hugs founders and sisters.
