Moving Day Box

Creating a day-of box will help you better handle the chaos of moving day. The box should include essential items that will help you in the first few days of being in a new home.

As an experienced local mover, we have helped numerous customers enjoy a smooth relocation. This article will give you a list of some of the moving day essentials you should bring with you. 

Essentials for Comfort

After a long day of moving, you likely don't want to dig through your moving boxes to find things like a toothbrush and a change of clothes. In your moving day box, you should include items that you need to feel comfortable. 

Anything from contact solution to medications should be included to maintain your routine. Having a small towel and a basic travel kit will allow you to freshen up in your new home's bathroom. 

Basic Kitchen Supplies

While you will be moving, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't prioritize eating well. Keep things like water bottles, snacks, paper plates, and disposable utensils on hand to make your journey more comfortable. 

Once you arrive at the home, you should have a box of a few basic items that will allow you to cook a meal. Additionally, you should consider packing an ice cooler if you plan on bringing perishable food items. 

Cleaning Supplies and First Aid

Keeping a small cleaning kit and first aid supplies will prepare you for the unexpected. In your cleaning kit, you should prepare items such as the following:

  • Trash Bags
  • Disinfecting Wipes
  • Paper Towels

In your first aid kit, you should keep bandages and antiseptic medicine in case there is an injury during unpacking. Someone may cut themselves, and it's important to have first aid supplies available quickly. 

Important Documents & Items

Keep crucial documents, IDs, and any paperwork needed for the relocation. It's best to keep these documents with you and to avoid placing them in the back of a moving truck. 

Some documents that you should keep with you are passports, lease agreements, and financial documents. Additionally, you should keep small valuables like jewelry or family heirlooms with you at all times.
