Most people think of the bigger necessities when moving into a new home or apartment for the first time. For example, furniture or repainting or getting along with a roommate. These are all fine and dandy, but it's usually the little things which count most of all, i.e. tools which should be close at hand when the need arises.
Always be ready. Even if you don't need this list now, store it away for future reference.
1) Flashlight
If the power goes, you'll be glad you have one. That's all I'll shed the light on in this case.
2) Light Bulbs
Just supposing the bulb burns out in your bathroom. Ladies, how are you going to put on your make-up and get dressed in the morning? A flashlight is just not effective enough for this purpose (heehee).
3) Scissors
Scissors come in quite handy very often. You can use them to cut open boxes, irritating tags off your new clothes and so many other things. Get a really good pair, rather than the cheap ones. They would cost a little more, but last for so much longer.
4) A tape measure comes in handy when you need to measure the spaces your furniture is going to be fitting into or hang up your favourite pictures and photos.
5) Screwdriver and hammer.
Every home needs a toolbox. How else would you be able to hang up those pictures and assemble your furniture???
6) Sewing Kit
If you are fussy like me about the way you dress and look, you don't want to be leaving home with a missing button or the hem of your dress undone. Why waste time and money on getting new clothes when you can just sew it up.
7) Calculator
Whether you have access to one on your phone or computer, it it a critical piece of gadget you need around the home. How else would you know how much tip you need to give to the pizza delivery guy or how much your roommate needs to hand over to meet the monthly expenses you share?
Enjoy your new place with the minimum anxieties.
