When you are packing for a move, it becomes easy to miss out on certain small things that are important to help you move into your new house.
My advice to you would be to make a box separately and put all the below mentioned things in it lest you lose them in the chaos of packing.
It is difficult to comprehend, but if you think about it objectively, there are always the smaller things that make all the difference while moving. After all, who wants to be running around for a phone charger or a toothbrush when they are in the middle of unboxing.
So, now, let’s go through the ultimate curated list of essentials that you should pack separately for easing the move.
1. Cleaning Suppliers
If real life were like the movies, your house would be a portrait of exquisite beauty without a spot of dust the whole place. But that is not how life works. Your home will most probably not be in the best shape when you do decide to move. Even if the previous owners were considerate enough to clean it, there are still going to be little dust bunnies inhabiting the nooks and crannies.
Packing some cleaning essentials is thus a good idea,
- Paper Towels
- Small Vacuum
- Dishwater Detergent
- Laundry Detergent
- Toilet Bowl Cleaner
- Broom and Dustpan
- Multipurpose Cleaning Spray
- Clorox Wipes
2. Corkscrew
A tradition; for me, it is opening a bottle of vino while surrounded by boxes is a great feeling. In the whole mess of packing, you don’t want to be hunting for a corkscrew. So, toss one into the essentials box.
3. Clothing Hangers
Keep them in a clear plastic box and clearly, mark the box where you decide to stash them. After you are done with the kitchen and making the bed, you would want to get your clothes sorted out. At that point in time, searching for hangars can be a nuisance. Just keep these on hand for easing out the experience.
4. Batteries
We run on power. These are some of the essential things to have on hand and often the first ones that aren’t there. From remotes not working to fire alarms that don’t seem to stop beeping. You are going to be irritated beyond measure. If power somehow turns out to be an issue during the first night, you would need flashlights, which require batteries.
5. Toothbrush
Ensure you keep a lookout on where you stash your toothbrush and toothpaste and body wash, and you know what? Assemble a toiletries bag that has all the essentials covered for a couple of days as you don’t want to be making round trips to the department store for something that should have been sorted beforehand.
6. Toolkit
There is a potential for a lot of things to go wrong when you don’t have a toolkit at your disposal. It is one of the most required pieces of equipment that is needed to get work done inside your new house.
You don’t need fancy equipment like a drill, but simple tools work just fine.
Some basics are :
- Hammer
- Measuring Tape
- Screwdrivers Catering to Multiple Sizes
- Utility Knife
- Pliers
- Scissors
7. Toilet Paper
The pinnacle of self-explanation, chances are you would have missed out on these in the whole rush of moving. So just a gentle reminder for you to remember to get your toilet paper rolls in the bag. A trip to the convenience store at this point in time during your move will be inconvenient, nothing more.
8. Chargers
Imagine if the department store is an inconvenience, how bad a trip to the electronics store would be. Ensure you put all the chargers that you could need in one box and then store it in the essentials.
