The best part of moving during the holidays?
Opening boxes can feel a lot like opening presents! Especially if you donât remember what you packed in each one! đ If you do plan on moving apartments throughout the holiday season, here are a few tips from us to you.
â
Plan your move ahead of time: As soon as you decide to make the switch, begin planning everything youâll need to do between now and then. Find boxes, hire movers, and change your mailing address are just a few things youâll need on your checklist.
â
Put a few holiday decor items in your âopen firstâ box: To help keep the spirit of the season alive, add a few non-essential decor items in your âopens firstâ box. This should contain all the things youâll need on that first night in your new home, plus a few extras.
â
Start saving. Now: Once youâve determined to move to a new apartment, begin creating your budget. Factor in security deposit, first monthâs rent, presents, and more. Stick to your budget as closely as possible so you donât have any unnecessary surprises occur!
