With all the anticipation and excitement building up to it, if you’re not careful the first night in your new home can actually be a bit stressful! You’re tired, there are half unpacked boxes everywhere and you’re gasping for a cuppa! Rather than tearing the house apart trying to find those essentials, here’s a list of things worth packing separately for the first night in your new Waterstone home, so that you can relax, enjoy yourselves, and start to feel at home straight away!

For your first night, basics are all you need. Set aside a box and include critical things you know you’ll need in the first 24 hours of your move:

• Bedding
• Washbag and towel
• PJs and eye mask (in case you haven’t got around to hanging those new curtains)
• Change of clothes for the next day
• Kettle and tea/coffee/milk/sugar
• Ready-meal or local takeaway menu
• A sweet treat – after all that packing and unpacking, you’ll deserve a box of chocs!
• Breakfast supplies for the next morning
• Plastic plates/cutlery
• First aid kit
• Toilet Paper
• Pen and paper
• Phone charger
• A bottle of champagne and some glasses to toast your new home!

With all the essentials on hand, you’ll be able to enjoy your first night feeling like you’ve got everything under control. Put your feet up, look around you, and relish all the emotions that come with starting a new phase of your life in a beautiful new home.
