5 Must-Haves for Your First Few Days in a New Home

Must-Have Essentials for Your First Few Days in a New Home with Kids

Ah, moving day. That magical moment when your living room becomes a maze of mystery boxes and your fridge only contains condiments and confusion. But don’t worry, fellow parent-packer—we’ve got the “bear” essentials you need to survive those first few days in your new cave sweet cave. Here are our top 5 new home must-haves to keep your family cozy, caffeinated, and camera-ready.

1. Coffee Mugs (Because “Moving Day” is just code for “Bring Me Caffeine—Stat”)
   The first morning in your new home is sacred. You’ll need your go-go juice (a.k.a. coffee) in hand and your sense of humor intact. So make sure those ceramic mugs don’t get lost in a box labeled “misc weird stuff?”
   
   
   
   Give the kiddos something to sip too—hot cocoa in their very own silly mug (bonus points for matching moose designs). These mugs won’t just hold your liquids—they’ll hold your memories.
   
   
2. Cozy Pajamas (Because Nothing Says ‘New Home’ Like Matching Moose Butts)
   Let’s be real: you’re going to be living in pajamas for a few days. Embrace it. Pack everyone's PJs in a clearly labeled “DO NOT BURY” box so you’re not digging through winter coats just to find a onesie.
   
   
   
   Our family matching pajamas aren’t just comfy—they’re a whole vibe. Toss in some cool & funny socks or fuzzy feet slippers and boom: your first family selfie in the new house = instant classic. Warning: may cause spontaneous snuggles!
   
   
3. Warm Robes (A.K.A. Your New Mom-and-Dad Uniform)
   After hauling boxes, you'll deserve a robe so plush it should come with a warning label for extreme coziness. Pop one on post-shower or just wear it as your moving-day power outfit. No judgment.
   
   
   
   We’ve got robes for mom, dad, and every tired adult in between. Wrap yourself in one and pretend you're at a spa, not surrounded by packing peanuts and a toddler climbing a moving box tower. Shop our women’s robes and men’s robes today!
   
   
4. Books & Toys (Distract the Cubs While You Rebuild Civilization)
   Let’s face it—you’re going to need something to keep the kids busy while you figure out which box has the forks. (Spoiler: it’s always the last one you open.)
   
   
   
   Plushies and wild-animal-themed storybooks will keep the little ones engaged while you wrestle the Wi-Fi router into submission. Bonus: they might even fall asleep with their new fuzzy friend. You’re welcome.
   
   
5. Blankets (For Fort-Building, Nap-Taking, and General Life Surviving)
   Don’t underestimate the power of a good blankie. Whether you’re curling up on the floor (because, let’s be honest, the couch isn’t built yet) or giving the kids something soft to snooze under, our kids’ blankets are a must.
   
   
   
   They’re cozy, cuddly, and come in prints so cute you’ll want one for every room (and possibly one to hide behind when you see how many boxes are still left). Check out our tall blankets and kids’ hooded blankets if you’re on the hunt for a new one!

The Big Picture (and Maybe a Few Snapshots)

Yes, your house might look like a cardboard jungle right now, but trust us—these little comforts will go a long way. Make cocoa, snuggle in matching PJs, and snap those “new home” memories while you’re still tripping over bubble wrap.

The best moments happen when you’re cozy, a little chaotic, and completely yourselves. So unpack the necessities, laugh through the madness, and start making memories that stick tighter than packing tape. Welcome home!
