Moving can be a time-consuming, exhausting, and exciting process. And with a little planning, you can ensure the first night in your new home is a comfortable one. Among the many household items loaded up in your moving truck, here are a few fundamentals you need easy access to on day one. 

What to Pack in Your First Night Box

1. Toiletries 

Grooming accessories are crucial to helping you settle into your new home. Designate a box filled with key toiletries, such as washcloths, shampoo, soap, toilet paper, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. If you require any personal devices, such as contact lenses, medications, or hearing aids, stow these items in your first night bag as well.

2. Electronics

In this digital age, it is difficult to imagine a time when electronic devices were not part of daily life. Keep in contact with family, friends, and colleagues by packing your cell phone, tablet, laptop, and corresponding chargers in your first night bag for easy access.

3. Food Supplies

4. Pajamas & Clothes

You shouldn’t have to sleep in your dirty moving clothes. To ensure a restful night, pack a pair of pajamas. If exercise or work is part of your daily routine, include a change of sportswear and office clothes.

5. Bedding

After a long day of boxing, traveling, and unloading, the first thing you’ll likely want to do when you arrive at your new home is to sleep. Save yourself from a restless night of tossing and turning on the ground by setting aside some blankets, pillows, and bedding.
