Why you need one
The first night in a new home is when you can’t find the phone charger, the shower curtain or the coffee. A first-night box solves that: everything you need for one night and morning, in one place.
Pack it last, open it first
Pack it the night before, label it OPEN FIRST on every side, and keep it with you in your car. Then nothing important is buried in the truck.
Austin tip
In a Texas summer, keep medication, electronics and anything heat-sensitive in an air-conditioned car rather than a hot truck.
