You need to prepare for the move no less seriously than to take a tourist trip, to keep a lot of information in your head, because there will be no time for correction. We want to share experience that will simplify the process of preparation and packaging of personal belongings. First, make a list of the most important items in your opinion and collect them separately from others.
During the life in one place in the house accumulates a large number of things. A comfortable life requires a lot of various furniture, dishes, textiles, clothes, books, equipment, plants in pots and vases … Statuettes, children’s crafts, family photos within — oh, how many little things dear to the heart create comfort and a homely feeling … But immediately after when moving, you will need things that can provide little comfort for a while, while you unpack the boxes and settle in a new place.
Things need to pack in separate boxes. You will greatly facilitate your life if you sign these boxes in as much detail as possible. You can even select for them a marker of a different color (for example, red). It will be necessary to load these ducts into transport as a last resort in order to get them and unpack them first when unloading.
So, the things of the very first necessity.
1. Food and drink for the first time
In Hollywood films, happy lovers enter a new home with just a bottle of champagne and two glasses. In life, one glass of a sparkling one will not be full. You can be sure that during the move the appetite will be played serious. Therefore, be sure to collect a small stock of products that are not demanding storage conditions (moving is a long process, not all products will retain freshness outside the refrigerator). Do not forget the water, tea and coffee, kettle or a thermos with hot water. On a plate and a cup for each family member, forks, spoons, a knife, napkins or paper towels – do not hide it far away, collect in a separate box. You can also order the delivery of products to the new address.
2. Clothing and shoes for the first time
Save your time and save for yourself a couple of sets of clothes and shoes in which you can go to work. By the way, shirts, blouses, suits and coats can be packed in special wardrobe boxes. The design of such boxes allows you to transport (and, if necessary, store) clothes directly on hangers. In addition to clothes for work, you will need to collect homemade clothes and shoes, underwear for all family members. Pack an iron and a clothes brush together with your clothes, so you can quickly get your clothes in order.
3. Towels, toiletries, hair dryer
It is not necessary to put all the supplies from the bathroom and toilet in the box with the essentials. You can limit yourself to the most necessary: toothpaste and toothbrushes, shower gel, shampoo, hairbrushes, hair dryer, a few towels, a couple of rolls of toilet paper.
4. Bed linen, blankets, pillows
You can definitely use them on the day of the move. The bed (or beds) will be assembled and you will be able to sleep comfortably.
5. Baby stuff
If you have children, then you have a great idea how many things your offspring’s need. As well as adults, children will need clothes for the first time, bed linen and hygiene products. If the child is small, then he will need diapers, bottles. Schoolchildren will need to collect textbooks and workbooks. And be sure to have toys that are age appropriate so that the child has something to do while the adults unpack.
6. First Aid Kit
Do not forget to take along medications that are required by your family members (for example, your parents need blood pressure control products, and your husband needs contact lens care products). In this first-aid kit, adhesive plasters, painkillers, iodine or similar antiseptics, food poisoning medications will not be superfluous.
7. Tool kit
To fasten a shelf, hang a chandelier, cornices, paintings, photographs, hooks in the bathroom – small household work will be enough. Assemble the necessary set of tools (a screwdriver or screwdriver with interchangeable nozzles, a hammer, pliers, pliers, a wrench) and a small supply of fasteners. You will definitely need several rolls of scotch when you need to collect, pack and take out used packaging, garbage, cardboard sheets.
8. Household chemicals
During the arrangement at the new place there is a big cleaning. Collect a small supply of cleaning products, sponges, rags, mops or brooms, garbage bags. Vacuum cleaner, too, may not be superfluous. And we strongly recommend that girls grab a pair of thick rubber gloves. Not everyone likes to use them, but hands need to be protected and protected.
9. Things for animals
Do you have a cat, dog, hamster or other pets? It is necessary to collect essential things for them: designer beds for dogs, filler, food, bowls, collars, stove benches, cages, toys, etc.
- Chargers for phones, tablets and computers
Probably, comments are unnecessary. The main thing is not to forget to pack them along with the rest of the essentials.
11. Office knife or scissors
You will need the cutting tool when you start opening the boxes. Therefore, do not pack the knife with any other things so that it can be easily reached when needed.
