Toiletries:
Nothing is more frustrating than having to make a quick shopping trip on moving day to buy toilet paper and toothbrushes. Pack some essential toiletries in your 24-hour box so you can focus on unpacking and not have to make any unnecessary trips.

Medicine:
The worst thing you can do is to forget your medicine, or throw it in a random box that may take some time to locate. Be safe, and have your medicine on hand.

Emergency Kit:
In the immortal words of Forrest Gump, “s**t happens”. Be prepared for when “it” happens with a small emergency kit full of bandaids, rubbing alcohol, gauze, and anything else you feel like you’ll need.

Coffee:
Let’s face it, we’re all slaves to caffeine. Don’t fight it, just embrace the addiction, and bring your coffee maker with you. Enjoy a nice, warm, cup of coffee in the morning so you can start the day off right!

Scissors or knives:
Throw some of these guys in the box for unpacking. You’ll need a few to help with the unpacking process.

Speakers:
This may seem a bit random, but music definitely keeps you moving when your…moving. Pack some speakers so you can jam out to lofi hip hop moving beats!

Clothes:
After a long day of moving you’ll be dying to get out of your dirty shirt and into something clean. Pack a change of clothes for yourself for when this occurs.

Chargers:
You’ll probably be making lots of calls throughout the moving day; utility companies, internet providers, schools, etc. Remember to pack a charger so your phone doesn’t die on you during these calls.

Sheets:
Moving is tiring and we all know the first thing you want to do after a long move is to gorge on some pizza & beer. The second thing is to sleep. Bring some bed sheets or a sleeping bag for when you’re ready to crash and enjoy a well deserved night of rest.

Tools:

Cleaning Supplies:
Moving can be messy and maybe so was the previous tenant who forgot to clean up before they left. It’s a good idea to have some cleaning supplies on hand so you can take care of the messes when they happen.
Whenever you move make sure to always have a 24-hour box on hand. These are items we definitely recommend to pack, but feel free to bring anything else you think you’ll need for the first 24-hours in your new home!
