- The Checklist Edition
📦 The Ultimate "Open-First" Box Checklist 🏡
✨Here is what you should keep with you or pack right on top:
✅Documents & Valuables: IDs, passports, lease or closing papers, insurance info, cheques, and house keys. Keep these in a folder or bag you carry personally rather than putting them in the truck
✅Bedding & Comfort: Sheets, pillowcases, and blankets for each bed so you can make up the beds immediately without hunting for them late at night
✅Toiletries & Personal Care: Toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant, hairbrush, toilet paper, towels, and any daily medications or first-aid supplies
✅Electronics & Chargers: Phone chargers, power strips, laptops, and any essential cords
✅Kitchen Essentials: A roll of paper towels, trash bags, a sponge, dish soap, a few plates, cups, utensils, a bottle opener, and a coffee maker or kettle with mugs
✅Clothing & Change of Clothes: A couple of changes of comfortable clothes, pajamas, underwear, and a spare pair of shoes for unpacking day
✅Pet & Kid Supplies: If you have children or pets, pack their favourite snacks, comfort items, toys, pet food, and a leash so they stay happy while chaos swirls around them
✅Basic Toolkit: A box cutter/utility knife, a flashlight or portable lantern, scissors, and basic screwdrivers to assemble beds or open other boxes
