Has anybody moved recently?

I posted below that I'm helping some friends move this weekend and I was thinking of giving them a housewarming gift.  Instead of that, I think I'm going to put together a little moving survival kit for them.  Just a few things that they might wish they had handy during the move and for the first day or so.  So far I've got toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates, paper cups, plastic utensils, trash bags, sponges, dish soap, hand soap, all purpose cleaner, rags, a bucket, scissors, duct tape, light bulbs, and bandaids.  I don't know what they already have or what they will have thought to have handy so I'm trying to stick to stuff that you can never have too much of.  Is there anything else that anyone can think of that they're glad they had on hand or wished they had on hand when they moved?  Thanks Ladies!!

Re: Has anybody moved recently?

  • Menus for food places near their new place -- especially take-out places!
  • Oh, wow that is SUCH a good idea!  I wish I lived closer to where they are moving or had more time to pull that off.  They're moving on Saturday and I work all week, so I don't have time to drive up there let alone figure out what's good in the area.  Thanks anyway, though! I have definitely got to remember that one :)
  • maybe some bottled water?

  • This is totally random and maybe they won't need it depending on what type of shower they have, but a shower curtain. I remember when we first moved in, after everyone left, we ran to Target to pick up the essentials. We got back home, unpacked a little more, and then decided to shower after unpacking in 90 degree weather (we moved in August) only to discover that we had no shower curtain. Ugh. We ended up making another trip to Target that night.

    I'll try to think of other things.

  • goo gone really came in handy. i also liked having some candles and reed diffusers right away because it made it a little homey until we could get everything unpacked.
  • You could even just add a gift certificate for a restaurant right near them. ?I know that when we moved, the last thing I wanted to do with all the boxes and stuff piled up was make dinner, so we ate out a lot. ?It would have been nice to even just have a gift certificate to get a pizza or chinese. ?
  • Thanks for all the great ideas ladies! I guess I have some shopping to do :)
  • You could always check online for the menus!  I know a lot of restaurants put 'em online now. :)

     We moved 2 months ago, and you've hit the nail on the head.  I Love Love LOVED having Clorox anywhere Hard Surface and my Swiffer handheld duster as well. :)

  • Oh they have this in Target on their as seen on TV shelves its the orange belt thingy that you can use to lift things that are heavy. We're in the process of slowly moving to our house and that would come in handy. I was about to buy one then when I got to the cashier i had to elimiate stuff because I went shopping crazy and went over my budget lol.
