what to get from India to uk / canada for students

The items mentioned here are must as per my experience for immediate use as soon as we reach UK e.g for 3 months until you settle. The charges to buy these in UK are far higher than you can imagine. Shopping as soon as you reach uk is not possible so buy products at least for 1 month.
