The very day when moving goes on becomes the most maddening, stressful day of uncertainty throughout a general moving process. The act of packing, loading, and transporting can be so confusing that you might forget those important tools that help you through the day. Well, that is where a well-thought-of survival kit strides in on a moving day. This survival kit will bear you through this first day in comfort, efficiency, and even stability. Now, moving on to what goes inside your essential
moving day survival kit.
The kitchen, truth be told, forms the very heart of every home, and some of the important items would be useful to have near to hand on a moving day. First up would be a small and sturdy box filled with paper dinnerware, cups, and utensils so that you will not have to spend time rooting in the last box you have unwillingly opened just because you were craving a snack. Do not forget the paper towels, napkins, and plastic wrap for cleaning up. Also, you would not want to miss some of your most basic cooking tools: a can opener, bottle opener, and a few basic spices. Add instant coffee or tea, sugar, milk powder, and disposable cups, for rehydration and getting a little caffeine on board—into the compact electric kettle or microwave-safe mug if one fancies some hot drinks. Add some snacks like granola or protein bars and nuts in case of special dieting or dietary restriction. A small first-aid kit containing band-aids and antiseptic wipes can be helpful in the event of minor mishaps occurring in the kitchen. Again, remember that the whole idea is to have enough to be able to survive while you are getting your kitchen stuff out and unpacked.
This will be grandly important on a moving day. you'll be physically exhausted, and the last thing you want to worry about is where your bath products are. Pack a toiletry bag with travel-sized toiletries: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. If necessary, include some of the key feminine hygiene products. Include a small first-aid pack with, in addition, a few band-aids, painkillers, and antiseptic wipes that may prove to be worthy in case of minor injuries. Just in case, you will want to pack your toilet paper as well as a few wet wipes to freshen up on the go. Add a bathrobe or soft slippers to make the space feel comfortable. Make sure to take their favorite bath toys or books used during bathtime when you have small children so that they can proceed as usual. Take along your prescription medications or over-the-counter remedies.
For once, let your bedroom be that haven you so need after a hectic day of moving. Pack an overnight case with a comfortable change of clothing for each family member, including underwear and socks. Add pajamas so you can have a good night's sleep. Make sure to include any necessary medications in this kit as well. You could also add in there your favorite pillow or blanket to make you feel more comfortable. If you have young children, you may want to add favorite stuffed animals or their bedtime stories to provide ease. If you feel like building a quiet environment in your new bedroom, then just squeeze in some eye masks and earplugs or even some aromatherapy candles into a box. If you can't sleep without your white noise machine or humidifier, make sure they get packed into your survival kit as well. Bottom line: getting a good night's sleep is critical to surviving moving day.
It's very important to keep your
kids occupied and enjoy having them pass a day with almost no stress. Have a few things on hand to occupy them: coloring books, crayons, small toys, books, etc. Add in their favorite snacks and drinks to prevent tantrums. The tablet with pre-downloaded games or movies might save your life, especially when the journey is too long. Do not forget to bring their favorite blanket or stuffed animal for comfort. For older ones, include some favorite comfort items, like headphones, electronic chargers, or gaming supplies. If they have favorite comfort items, be sure to bring them—such as a nightlight or a special stuffed animal. Remember, you are trying to make your child feel normal and reassured about this period of transition.
You never know when duty might call if you work from home, so take some vital
office supplies. A power cord for charging your laptop and a different one for your phone, with a few adapters for charging. Carry a notepad and some pens to enable you to write down important information. If you're using some glasses, don't forget the case and cleaning cloth. If there is any critical software or online tool that you will need access to, secure login details and downloads of such tools if necessary. Have vital documents or files scanned or backed up to the cloud? Remember: Being able to access the essentials of your work will keep you on top of your work and hence be productive with minimal stress when moving.
Make a "moving day tasks" bag to have all the necessary supplies with you to be able to get inside the house and start packing, such as a screwdriver, pliers, duct tape, and markers. When evening approaches, include a flashlight in your packing list. And most importantly, pack in some snacks and water together with an energy drink to keep you on the go the whole day. – Throw in a couple of disposable gloves, wipes, and garbage bags for added convenience. You might even consider adding in a small toolbox that has a few basic household tools like scissors, measuring tape, and a level. By having your bases covered on these unanticipated glitches, you'll be tackling the day with tremendous swiftness and exquisite ease.
