When my eldest went off to Uni he said the best pressie I gave him was the One is Fun cook book by Delia Smith

door wedge.....http://www.objects-of-design.co.uk/products1/3 4/catlev/524/james-doorman-doorstop.htm
can be used to show that he is in and willing to talk or can be used to wedge door shut if he is of nervous disposition. My daughter said it was great as the doors are self closing and she could feel a bit "cut-off"

chocolate, biscuits, vesta ready meals [no fridge needed] tinned chicken etc for snacks. Gift vouchers for supermarket. Photo frame. Black bin bag for his dirty laundry [with label to return home when full]
Personally I liked the laundry bag with level lines on the outside, showing, 1 week, 2 weeks, Naked!

Congratulations to your nephew & what a thoughtful Auntie you are. From experience, once fresher's week is over, he'll be wondering where his money has gone. A student railcard is ideal, or Oyster card if he's in London. An occasional food parcel is always a huge hit. You can do it via an online supermarket or checkout www.studentgiftparcel.co.uk Alternatively, all the cleaning products/toiletries needed for his first term. My son was horrified at prices for essentials when he went shopping & hadn't even got to the food aisles. Books are another expense they're not usually prepared for. As he's using a shared kitchen, a mini fridge for his bedroom was one of the most useful things I bought (so says my son) Good luck!
