Among the chaos of packing your belongings as you prepare to move into your new home, your focus is likely on getting to your destination and nothing more. Although it takes a lot of planning and determination to pack up all of your belongings as you prepare to move, there is one more task left to do that could save you a lot of time and money- pack an essentials box.Â
An essentials box is a box that contains all the things you need to make a smooth transition into your new home. In other words, this is your first nightâs survival box for the big move-in day.Â
The essentials box is like a safety raft for those just in case moments when you are finally all moved in, and everything is not exactly in place. Consider this box a gift to yourself when you canât stand to lift another box or move another piece of furniture.Â
All the essentials of course! The list includes everything from toiletries, bedding, chargers, clothes, dishes, snacks, blankets, and for those with pets, their food bowls and other items. Nothing is like being prepared than not!
