What to get for my partner before he leaves for the RAF?

Hi everyone! First time poster here.

My boyfriend is leaving in a few weeks to join the RAF, it's all a bit nerve-wracking as whilst I half know what to expect, you can never fully know what it'll be like until it's happening.

However, I would really love to get him something that he can take with him, not necessarily something sentimental but something that might actually be useful, especially during those first 6 intense weeks. I know they obviously share rooms at first so there isn't much space to bring too much stuff, so does anyone have any ideas of what I could get him that would a) remind him of home a bit but mostly b) actually be useful for him while he's there.

TIA!!

A nice leather washbag with some expensive toiletries? And put a little silver love token and note in the inside pocket
