Open Me First boxes are some of the most important boxes you will pack during your move. They are some of the last boxes you pack and some of the first boxes that you unpack at your new place. They hold all the essentials you need to make your house comfortable for the first couple of days.
I make a different Open Me First Box for each room in the house. Each one is distinguished with a special neon color sticker so that the movers and I can easily recognize them when they get moved into the new house.
