This box will make it easy for you to access the essentials of everyday living and should be separate from other boxes.
I have mine (which turned into more than one box) all packed.....
So here are a couple of ideas of items to add to your "First Night Box" checklist:
- Cleaning supplies
- Toiletries
- Change of clothes
- Flashlight and light-bulbs
- Paper towels
- Telephone
- Trash Bags
- Dry food and snacks
- Pet food and necessities
- Bath mat, shower curtain, and towels
- Water or filter system
- Basic tools (ex. screwdriver)
- Blankets and linen
- Paper Shades
It is great to have this box prepared not only to get you through the first night, but to have supplies to last a couple days as you unpack so that you can unpack with ease and avoid having to run to the store for things.
