Are you planning on moving soon? Don’t pack everything away! Many don’t realize unpacking may not be your priority. Maybe you want to spend the first few nights checking out your new town, getting to know the people you work with, or simply unwinding after a successful moving trip. If you pack everything away, it can be hard to get what you need when you need it. Here is everything you need to pack away in your overnight bag for the first few days of your move.
Clothes
Pack some comfy clothes away for your first few days. Fold a couple of work outfits, pajamas, and any outfits you may want to use for after-work drinks or date nights on the town. With a diverse mini closet, you create a stress-free move-in experience. It may seem like more than you will need for the first week, but you will be more comfortable as you make your way through your boxes.
Bedding
You may need to wait for your bed to be delivered or even constructed; however, a spare pillow and a sleeping bag may hold you over. If you have your mattress in tow, bring a set of clean sets and a mattress protector to keep everything neat and comfortable for the first few days.
Toiletries
Just as you would for a short vacation, bring any toiletries you need. These toiletries include shower, period, and makeup products. To make the best first impression around town, you must look clean and presentable. Keep your bag stocked with everything you may need to do so, as well as any medications you need at this time.
Electronics
Ensure you have your electronics and chargers in your pack to unwind and stay in touch with your friends and family. You may need devices like your cell phone, tablet, and laptop, so keep their chargers close to prepare yourself thoroughly.
Kitchen Items
This aspect of your bag is one that most people miss in their overnight bags. You may need to eat something quick and need more time to sift through your kitchen boxes. Keep essential supplies in easy reach, like a kitchen plate, bowl, fork, spook, and a frying pan or pot. These should give you the essentials to cook meals on the fly.
Miscellaneous Items
It may be helpful to keep any personal or moving documents on hand in your overnight bag. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports over 7,000 lost items yearly by commercial movers. This strategy will ensure you don’t lose these essential papers during your move.
