What to pack in your essentials moving box

Make your move stress-free. - by Rebecca Lowrey Boyd
  • 08 Aug 2018

Moving is one of the most stressful things you can do, but taking some time to prepare can make the process go smoothly.

One of the best things you can do is to prepare an essentials box. This is one of the last boxes you pack, and the first box you unpack at your new home.

You can customise the box for your needs, but here are the basics you should pack:

 

Chef’s knife

Kettle

Mugs for each person in the house

Tea and coffee supplies

Spoons

Bottle opener

Paper towels

Leftover disposable plates will come in handy

Scissors

All-purpose cleaner

Tea towel

Toilet paper

Phone charger

Torch

Dish detergent

Snacks

Pet food and dishes

Garbage bags

Tool kit
