Packing and Moving Tips for Women- (From Travel Pros)

Now, that you’ve finally decided to shift to a new home or office, it is important that you know some smart packing tips to make your move an exciting one. Packing is a pivotal part of the moving process. Whether, you decide to do it yourself or simply hire a professional moving company to help you shift to your new house, packing will always be the most stressful section. This especially goes for women, who usually get panicked. There is nothing alarming in a move when you are in the right hands but when you decide to move without professionals hands helping you, it is important that you focus on the below packing and moving tips to enhance your moving experience and make it a memorable time for you and your loved ones accompanying you in packing and moving along.
  • Focus on packing the lightest luggage
  • The lesser items you pack, the lighter will be your luggage. So, make sure that you do not shop before moving to your new premises. Believe it or not, women always have the biggest shoe and clothing closet and they would love to carry all to their new residence but this eventually can lead to stress. Therefore, instead moving everything along with you, give away or donate unused or lesser used items. Nobody finds easy dragging things. 
  • Keep your checklist in your reach
  • It is important that you keep all important packing supplies as well as the complete checklist of your items close in hand in order to have an idea of what to pack and what not to pack. With the help of the checklist, you also remember to keep the necessary items separate.
  • Gather moving boxes
  • Collect or purchase cartons or sturdy boxes. You’ll be glad to know that there are several online sources that will ship the boxes to your door-steps without even charging you shipping fee. And if you see a new neighbor being shifted into your neighborhood, you’re already done finding lots of moving boxes.
  • Pack wisely- Room-by-Room
  • Leave clothes and soft things such as towels, cushioned blankets in the dresser drawers. All that you shouldn’t forget to remove is photo frames, jewelry, clippers, pens and other essentials as they can easily fall of out of the cupboard and dresser when tripped while moving. 
  • The Do-Not Pack List
When it comes to packing bathroom, be sure to confirm the do not pack list with your moving and packing company. Toiletries may leak and thus stain your packed stuff. So, when making up a moving box of liquid bathroom stuff, make sure to use plastic bags and seal each of them with 2 to 3 strips of packing tape.
