I agree that Rema "Tip Top" patch kits are excellent.
But I now buy packages of patches made in China (find then on eBay) and tubes of glue separately (also eBay). As long as it's a vulcanizing rubber cement (not the stuff made for gluing paper together) it should be fine. Always carry at least one unopened tube on the bike. At home I have a 4 oz can of glue, brush in the lid.
