Preparing yourself and your family for the first night in a new house is a simple thing to do during the week leading up to your big move. At some point during the packing process, you can easily organize all of your first-night essentials into one accessible place. Packing these items in a “first-night” bag, box, or suitcase will help give you peace of mind and make the entire experience of moving less stressful overall. Some of the personal items you should consider packing for the first night in your new home include toothbrushes and toothpaste, medications, toiletries, a first aid kit, chargers for all devices and electronics, some pajamas, extra undergarments, clothing for the first few days, extra shoes, and your wallet and credit cards. You may need to also pack a “first-night” bag for kids or pets that include any of their essential items. Finally, packing a home essentials box with items such as snacks, trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, bedding, bath towels, and any cleaning supplies might be beneficial for a stress-free first night in your new house.
