List of Moving Essentials – 2023

People who have moved know that certain essential things are needed during relocating to a new place. You can pack these necessary items separately, so you don’t have to rush at the last moment. Having an essential box is a great way to organize your move.

So if you are new to moving and don’t know what items to include in your essential moving kit, don’t worry. In this article, Goldline Removalists will explain every necessary item. So let’s begin.

 

List Of 11 Important Moving Essentials

 

Every family is different, but some moving essentials should be packed separately to make moving successful!

1. Wallet and keys

These small things can easily disappear if you are unaware of them. So, especially on a moving day, when everyone is in a rush, keep your wallet and keys in mind or write them in the vital item list to put in your essential kit.

2. Important documents

In the essential kit, you must pack documents like your passport, license, birth certificate, bank card, etc. Make a separate folder to keep these documents organized further and keep them closer to you while moving.

Keep in mind to pack all the contracts with your landlord or movers.

3. Medication items 

If you are making a big family move, you must have someone on medication, so don’t forget to pack all your medical supplies. Get the full first aid kit with band-aids, a thermometer, ibuprofen, and all the essential and regular medicines so you can use them in an emergency.

4. Toiletries

Consider packing all the bathroom supplies in your essential box. Pack these crucial items in a separate toiletries bag. Items like deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, and hand sanitizers are needed from day one at the new place; hence these are also important.

5. Extra pair of clothes

You will need clothes just after setting everything up at a new place, so pack some comfortable clothes for settling things at the new place. If you are having a family move, your kids or pets need extra clothes to get comfortable. You can pack a few fresh pairs of socks and comfortable shoes. With these, you can add sheets, towels, and a pillow too.

6. Cleaning supplies

After reaching the destination, you will surely need some cleaning of the place before settling your belongings in the rooms. So make sure to add some basic cleaning supplies to your essentials box, like sponges, paper towels, an all-purpose cleaner, a broom, and a dustpan.

7. Electronic Items

You can include some essential electronic items in your kit: phones, laptops, tablets and don’t forget chargers. Add all other small tech items that you regularly use to this list. Finally, add spare batteries for those items that are not rechargeable.

8. Food items

When you get tired during the move or after reaching, you’ll need to have some beverages or snacks to get energized for the heavy lifting and organizing. Pack simple food items which do not require refrigeration and water bottles with you to prevent dehydration.

9. Small tool kit

A small tool kit will also come in handy during a move. You may require minor fixing in doors, windows, or other furniture. So add this to your essential moving kit. 

Now, what should you have in this small tool kit? You should have small items like screwdrivers, nails, hammers, wrenches, and measuring tape. 

10. Scissors and box cutter

Moving includes packing and unpacking, and once you reach your destination to open these boxes, you need sharper objects like a box cutter. 

Scissors are also used for cutting, as the box cutter is perfect for opening boxes. While packing, you would need scissors to cut the packing tape.

These two little tools will save you time in the whole moving process.

11. Accessories for writing

To make a list of moving essentials, you should have a pen and paper to write them down. You can also note essential things in your phone’s app. These records will help you to be organized as you can recheck every item.

Conclusion

Every item needed from day one is all your essential items. Keeping critical items aside from other things in the essential moving kit will reduce stress. Keep in mind to keep your basic box with you in your car as you can need them on the way to your new home.
