So you found a new place! It’s all wonderful and exciting until you start to think about how much crap you have.
- Pack an overnight bag containing all the essentials.
- Pack the items you will need FIRST in a clear plastic bin.
- Wrap your breakables (dishes, glasses, etc.) in clothing to save on bubble wrap.
- For extra padding, pack your glasses and stemware in clean socks.
- In addition to labeling what’s in your boxes, add what room they’ll be going into, as well.
- If you can, show up to your new home before the move and pre-clean the bathroom and kitchen.
- Place an extra cotton pad or ball into your powder cosmetics to keep them from breaking.
- Cover the openings of your toiletries with saran wrap, then put the tops back on.
- Pack plates vertically, like records. They’ll be less likely to break.
- Keep drawers intact by covering them with Press’n Seal.
