Whether you’re moving across town or the country, your overnight bag will contain everything you need to get through the first few days in your new home, when everything you own is in storage.
Here are the seven most essential items to pack to ensure the smoothest moving and settling in experience possible.
Toiletries
Make sure you have toilet paper, your toothbrush and toothpaste, soap, a washcloth and towel, razors, and anything else you may need to feel fresh during your move. Prescription medication is also a must-pack item.
Clothing
Set aside a few comfortable outfits suitable to wear during travel, packing, errands, and all the other tasks that come with moving. You’ll also need something to sleep in at night. Don’t forget to bring changes of underwear and socks!
Device Chargers
Make sure you have the cords and plugs for all your devices, including smartphones as well as laptops and tablets. Extras are a good idea if you have several family members each with their electronics.
Laptop
Even if you don’t think you’ll need your computer during the move, it’s a good idea to pack it securely in a padded laptop sleeve and carrying it with you to ensure it doesn’t get lost or broken.
Notebook and Pens
Chances are, you’ll need to write something down during your move, whether it’s the contact information for your helpful new neighbor or the confirmation number for your furniture delivery. Make it easy on yourself by having a pen and paper within your reach.
Bedding
After a long day of unloading and unpacking, you’ll want nothing more than to sleep in your bed. Pack a separate bag with sheets, pillows, and blankets so you can make the beds when you arrive at your new home.
Snacks
You’ll probably get hungry while you’re moving, and you won’t want to stop to pick up food–at least not until you’ve got a decent amount of work done. Pack snack foods that travel well, such as apples, granola, trail mix, and pretzels. Don’t forget bottled water!
