One tip I’ve heard is if your using a removal company don’t write the contents of a box on it. Write a number an the box and then write a list with each number and what’s in that box somewhere else. This minimises the risk of someone stealing a box if they think it contains something valuable. Of course most employees will be very trust worthy but you can never be too careful

We use duct tape strips on the boxes. One color for each room. When you get to the new house put a strip on the coriespondin room door so all can help unload and use tape strips to put in those rooms.

Yesss! That’s so crazy because I literally just did that today, and this is probably my 30+ move in my life but I’ve never done that before and always regretted. So for this live, it was the first thing on my list of things to do before anything else. Now that it’s done, I feel like I can really dive into the huge project of moving, while feeling a sense of freedom and completion because I‘ve captured and honored the place that I’m now leaving. It’s so funny you mentioned this and I came across it today!

Hack 2: plastic grocery bags work super well to wrap breakable items. Even the plastic grocery bags you ripped open can be used to wrap breakable. It seems a little thin at first but you'll realize as you wrap items and place them in boxes together that the plastic wrapped around everything makes really thick protective puffy barriers that compliment each other and everything is padded and safe!

I’m very sentimental and I have learned that the “everyday” things are what make up “the good ol’ days”. Each home I have lived in is a season of my life. While I do end up with many pictures within the home, one of the best things I’ve learned to do is take pictures of each room without anyone in it, same as if you’re taking a picture of a loved one. I wish I had always done this, it’s like a visual time capsule. Then you can start de cluttering and packing, etc. One day your children will be grown and moved out, and these pictures will make nice momentos.

My family's been moving around renting houses for years since I was born (I'm 22 now) because my mom likes to think of it as an adventure and being able to live in a new kind of surrounding. Some of these hacks I am familiar like using a bin bag which we've also been using for our clothes because we don't really have suitcases and I think it's clever to suck the air using a vacuum that can give us more space in our car that we usually use since we only rent trucks for our big furnitures like beds, sofa, and our dining table. I would definitely use these on our next move or maybe when I get to move abroad. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I am moving and I love the idea of using socks for wine/champagne glasses :)

Hi Emily! Thank you so much for these tips! We just moved house and especially numbering the boxes was very helpful also for the moving helpers. Everything was so easy to localize on the check list of our phones!

Loved the box handle tip and the newspaper around the furniture legs tip - thank you! I’ll be using these for sure. 😊

I moved flat/house twice last year these would have been amazing! I will definitely use them next time x

Finally! You have hacks I had not seen lol...This is wonderful!! I didn't even think about the manicure thing and I was literally going to get one before the day I move in!

This is the best moving tips video I’ve ever seen! I had to resist the temptation to like the video after only watching the first tip. Instant subscriber here!

Thank you we are moving to a new place and this was very helpful. I love the idea of wrapping the furniture legs with paper and stacking plates with paper plates.
