💜 Call Your Mother Move-In Day kit

The one bag I packed separately (and used within the first 10 minutes)

When we arrived at my son's dorm, there were boxes everywhere. I didn't want to spend the first hour digging through everything looking for scissors, tape, or paper towels.

I packed one laundry basket with everything we'd need during move-in. 

It ended up being one of the best things we did.

Here's exactly what I packed.

Every item below is linked to the exact Amazon product I recommend. I packed everything inside one laundry basket so we could carry it into the dorm in one trip. Shop the exact Move-In Day Kit I used.
