The first couple of days after a move can be tough. That’s why the professional movers from your local Austin moving company have created a comprehensive guide on essential household supplies you’ll need in your new home.

If you’re moving to another city or state, and you’ll be without your belongings for more than a couple of days, you should consider packing more than what’s listed here. The best way to pack is to think about everything you use on a daily basis, and then pack accordingly.

Start by packing toilet paper. When packing toilet paper, you should plan on packing at least two rolls per bathroom. While still thinking about the bathroom, you want to make sure that you have a shower curtain for each bathroom, shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, and towels!

Moving to the kitchen, you should make sure that you pack a mug, plate, knife, fork and spoon for each member of the family. Packing mugs instead of glasses is better because they can hold both hot and cold beverages with ease. You might want to use a separate box to pack the small appliances that you’ll need: toaster, coffee maker and others. If you do create a separate box, make sure to mark it clearly so that you can find it easily among all the other boxes.

As silly as it sounds, scissors will be your very best friend, and they are usually the most forgotten item when packing an essentials box. A good pair of scissors comes in handy when you’re looking to open all those well-packed boxes.
