One tip I’ve heard is if your using a removal company don’t write the contents of a box on it. Write a number an the box and then write a list with each number and what’s in that box somewhere else. This minimises the risk of someone stealing a box if they think it contains something valuable. Of course most employees will be very trust worthy but you can never be too careful
Great tip! Thanks!
It’s a good idea to keep an inventory! So you can see when box 5 has gone missing quickly!
I think just in general this is a good tip. Why let someone (who has intention of stealing) know what’s in the box.
We use duct tape strips on the boxes. One color for each room. When you get to the new house put a strip on the coriespondin room door so all can help unload and use tape strips to put in those rooms.
Yes that happened when my mum moved. She wrote soccer ball on the box. Box disappeared.
A moving tip: Put a set of bedding for each bed together & set up the beds first when you arrive at the new house. That night when you are too exhausted you can fall straight into bed as they were the first thing set up.
Thanks bc we are moving in a month and I have noodle arms and I will have to move boxes TwT
I have a futon I just lay on the floor, super portable, but will definitely remember this for my dad's bed. We have a cot for emergencies, but I'd rather not use it if we don't have to(he's getting older and it's hard on him to sleep on)
Oooh thank you
Excellent idea! Thank uyou!!
I also recommend a 1st to Open kitchen box, which for us means tea kettle, French Press, coffee grinder, coffee beans, tea bags, cocoa packets, a small Tupperware of sugar, and dry creamer (just in case). And 4 cups/mugs. Because no one in our group wants to start the day without our own coffee, etc.
The vacuumed trash bag and the paper plates between the breakable plates are simply genius.
1:09 Free moving boxes
1:32 Cut slits into the box for handles
2:10 Declutter first before moving
2:21 Vacuum Pack Bag
3:52 Pack bathroom Hygiene Essentials separately
4:37 pack same thing for kitchen
5:34 pack frames 🖼 horizontal, side by side not on top of each other
5:54 fill in the spaces with fluff-
-If it don’t shake it don’t break 6:07
6:30 fold over tape end before putting it on the box
7:05 weighing
7:12 packing books- suitcase
7:31 packing knives
7:47 packing glassware
8:24 label boxes
8:38 color code boxes
9:10 take a photo of arrangements to recreate at new place
9:23 save screws and coordinate to item
9:58 for big items- tape newspaper to bottoms
Why do the creators of this kind of content never timestamp? So annoying
Thank you!
Bless you, thank you! Preparing for a move means I need more time. I appreciate this.
9:58 Newspaper is fine, but not enough. Table legs should also be covered with socks, like the stemmed glassware shown earlier.
5:34 The box is flat and horizontal, the wrapped frames are actually shown as being placed vertically. Some padding in between frames, especially those that may jut out a bit, would help avoid breaking during any impact.
frames must be vertical, she kept vertically but said horizontally ..lol.. maybe a bit of confusion with the wordplay
My tip would be to film a tour of your old house with everything in its place before you start packing up. I did this before I moved out of my very first apartment and it’s so nice to look back on, to remind you of a home you loved 🙂❤️ good luck with the move Emily, sooo excited for you! X
I’m doing the same ting
That's a great idea, thanks! We are moving soon.
This video has aged well. I’m moving too! Great hacking tips Mahalo 🤙🏽
Bravo...just bought my first home...and preparing now for the move. Thank you for these very useful hacks!
Yesss! That’s so crazy because I literally just did that today, and this is probably my 30+ move in my life but I’ve never done that before and always regretted. So for this live, it was the first thing on my list of things to do before anything else. Now that it’s done, I feel like I can really dive into the huge project of moving, while feeling a sense of freedom and completion because I‘ve captured and honored the place that I’m now leaving. It’s so funny you mentioned this and I came across it today!
I used to have SO MANY books. And I moved 4 or 5 times with them. To prevent heavy book boxes, I packed a few books in almost every single box, with other things. So I never had a crazy heavy box of books. And we've done the color coding with tape. SUPER helpful.
Or lots of little boxes
👏🙌🚛this helps me.
Hmmm, I may have to try this. I’ve had movers comment before about how many books I have 😂 I did pare down since then, but I’m getting ready to move and I’m pretty sure the count has crept back up again.
I just thought.. how am I going to get the books down the stairs again. Great tip!!
I’ve moved a lot.
Another thing I’ve always done is pack stuff you don’t need ahead of time and the essentials last. That way you don’t have a mad panic on the day.
The party plate idea is genius! Will definitely be using that in the future!
Thought about that too.❤
Just watched this with my 10 yr old granddaughter she said oooh she’s one smart lady 😂 I agree 😊
Ah thank you both 😘 Thank you so much for watching and stay safe Louise xx
@@mrsemilynorris Hi
Awwwww that's adorable.
Im ten because im a puppy
@@wafflesking8757 wtf😟
I have moved 8 times in the past 10 years and I learned some of these the hard way. I really didn’t think of cutting handles into boxes that’s something I didn’t know. I’m amazed with the content and I’m sure this video will help so many.
Wow that is a lot of moving. Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx
Emily Norris thanks. Stay safe Emily!
@Nadia same I’m moving friday
yeah, making holes in moving boxes so the bugs and other critters can get in them while they are either in a garage or storage waiting to be shipped to their new home. LOL....DO NOT leave open holes in moving boxes. The entire point of taping up the box to start with. If you you need handles on a box, its too heavy or too bulky for you. Pack smarter, not harder.
@@Gonzo3313 you could use packing tape to tape over the handle holes
When labelling your boxes make sure to write any important info on the top and the sides of the box! You want to be able to read it if boxes get stacked on top of each other.
Good idea! Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx
Hack 2: plastic grocery bags work super well to wrap breakable items. Even the plastic grocery bags you ripped open can be used to wrap breakable. It seems a little thin at first but you'll realize as you wrap items and place them in boxes together that the plastic wrapped around everything makes really thick protective puffy barriers that compliment each other and everything is padded and safe!
Thank you! I went shopping for moving/packing supplies and they are so expensive!
I never would have thought of grocery bags! That's so smart
yes! and parchment paper
Just use your clothes and towels to wrap fragile items to protect them
One more tip: if you have any broken cardboard boxes or any smaller ones you don’t want to use, break them and put them next to the walls of bigger cardboard boxes you are using, for extra padding and cushion specially when packing glass ware or decor items 💖
You can use nappy bags to pack small stuff like potpourri or any decorative gems
Put a rubber band at the top of your hangers to keep them together so they don’t fall to the bottom of the bag!
The black sack vacuum hack! Genius and unless I saw it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it.haha.
Total game changer ! Thanks Emily some brilliant tips there.
I used duvet sets and sheets to wrap up a lot breakables and saved in the bubble wrap. Good luck moving. Xx
Good idea!! Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx
Same!!!!
Yes, I'm moving and will definitely do this now!!
I love this idea, but my suggestion is use any other color than black. That way, movers or people who are helping with your move don't mistake them with trash ! 😢😢
Fab tips. One that we used was having our picnic bag in our car so we had plates, forks etc for the takeaway and breakfast the next morn. 😊
Love this Kate!! Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx
Great hacks. Banana boxes from supermarkets are a lifesaver. The have the built in handles, keep the thick paper so nothing falls through the holes, as long as you don’t pack them with too much heavy stuff like books, they are easy to carry. They also stack, winner winner. !!
I also write the box’s contents on one side. Example: “Kitchen- plates & bowls” That way, I don’t have to dig through every kitchen box to find the one thing I’m looking for!
but only for not valuable things! write „jewelry“ or „electronics“ on the outside and you will never see it again 😂
I’m very sentimental and I have learned that the “everyday” things are what make up “the good ol’ days”. Each home I have lived in is a season of my life. While I do end up with many pictures within the home, one of the best things I’ve learned to do is take pictures of each room without anyone in it, same as if you’re taking a picture of a loved one. I wish I had always done this, it’s like a visual time capsule. Then you can start de cluttering and packing, etc. One day your children will be grown and moved out, and these pictures will make nice momentos.
Pack crockery with the contents of your linen cupboard, fold the linen around the plates and stuff. Saves space and packing materials and works.
I really liked the way you packed the clothes in vacuum bags and the plates, thanks
Getting ready to move into my first owned home and found that the vacuum trash bags was bloody brilliant! I don’t have money to spare at the moment buying moving supplies due to the closing costs of the home but this was very helpful!
Some dollar stores now sell vacum storage bags
Use the socks for the table legs, no worries if the paper rips! Great tips Emily!
Love the handles on boxes, never thought of that, I fold my tape over when I cut it so when I put it away, I don't have to go crazy looking for the end!!! I love all your hacks Emily, you could write a book of them all. Cheers Diana NZ :)
I just moved with a 3 year old and a 6 month old. It’s just like you say about travelling with kids for holiday: “The thought of it is worse than the reality” 💕
Good to hear Diana! Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx
Love this video!! My favorite hack is the essential bag idea!! So smart for after a long day of moving, avoiding rummaging through packed boxes to find your toothbrush!
News paper in the legs to protect the new floors! Loved it!
Seems like it might rip-perhaps cheap socks instead
I'm litterly moving in two days and I haven't even started packing, great tips 👍🏻
Banana boxes are great for books. You can carry it easily and you can stack them too.
Aww ill miss this house. It's so lovely.
Me too 😢 Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx
I'll miss it tooo soooo much.. hmmm.. excited to the new house, though..
Same here! 🥰
I was thinking the same! I’m imagining a beautiful farewell video from Emily that will probably make us all cry. 😅
Awww so sad where are you moving to😥
Fabulous tips! I especially liked the tip about getting boxes from the supermarket - I was quoted $130 for boxes. After watching your video I called my local supermarket and was invited to collect as many as I wanted for FREE! I also loved the tip about cutting handles in them and covering furniture feet in newspaper. We will be moving into a home with new hardwood floors so this tip is a saviour! Thank you 💓
I have not seen this kind of organised person ever in my life... Good luck for moving stay safe..🥰
Haha thanks Mahmuda! Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx
I am not usually one to comment but I have to let you know .. its been 2 years I have been watching your videos. You are an inspiration for me. Whenever I watch your videos I personally feel that I am calmer and personally developing my inner self with your videos. I am thankful for your videos. You are my go to when I am in down time or even happy time. I love how happy it makes me watching you and your kids as well. I am a new mom with 2 years old and one more on way and your videos has been a lot help. I wish you and your family well wish and love. ❤❤❤❤❤
So timely! We are about to move (also awaiting our completion/exchange dates) - definitely decluttering!! The last time I moved I still had unopened boxes for over a year! When I finally came to do them, most items ended up at the charity shop anyway! Hopefully I've learnt my lesson this time round!
Haha sounds quite common Laura! Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx
Really useful video! We are moving too dear Emily!Thank you for sharing as always..my favorite hack was for the plates and for the table.I also found very clever and convenient putting the books into the suitcases!
After ten straight hours of prepping the house for our impending move this is ideal to unwind to. Good luck with yours! Xx
My favourite was the way you packed the frames, the bin bag working as a vac pack and the paper plates .... so basically everything 💜
Never clicked on a video so fast!! I’m moving in 4 weeks and had already looked back at your videos to see if you had any tips on moving! I’m coming back to this in half an hour after my daughter’s in bed with a cup of tea! Saving me once again! 💗
Wow great timing Jaimé. Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx
For knives, insert them into cardboard for an easy non-slip sleeve! For books, I've found donated boxes from liquor stores to be the perfect size without them getting too heavy or cumbersome.
It's so amazing how you share something as stressful as packing for a move to help others!
Ah thanks for the appreciation. Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx
I like all of them! The idea of socks, well guess what? I have a whole bag of socks not matching and I was about to throw them away! Now I know what to do with them!!
The suitcase thing is awesome for photo albums. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!
Thanks for the tips! Will definitely use a laundry basket for day 1 items, pots for pantry, and local grocery stores for box sourcing.
I can't wait to see your new home Emily. I'm so happy for you guys! X
I’ve watched so many moving videos and this one by far is the most helpful!
We just moved this week.😃 Hubby and I took 30 minutes turns packing then watching the kids. I played 30 minute clean with me music playlist to motivate from my channel! 😃
The paper plate trick made my jaw drop. Thank you so much for all the tips!
Folding tape at the ends. Brilliant. All were great and presented beautifully without all the added dribble thank you 🐶
Honestly your content is always well thought out. Even when I think I’ve done it enough times to know, you teach me something extremely helpful!!! Thank you for your time and effort ❤️
V good im a serial mover, 2 more tips, put elastic bands around a load of clothes on hangers so its easier to take out of wardrobe and lay rugs on floor and roll whole lot together and put packing tape around!
I will say i didn't care for vacuum seeling. Everytime i pulled something out, i had to rewash it because it was SO wrinkled. I loved using the bags over the clothes, especially if you have people helping because your clothes just get thrown everywhere and at least in the bags they are protected
Loved the box handle tip and the newspaper around the furniture legs tip - thank you! I’ll be using these for sure. 😊
As soon as I found out I’d be moving to Michigan in a week, I started to declutter everything.
I actually just got rid of 2 garbage bags worth of clothes.
I threw them both in a donation bin. :)
I hope you kept all the warmest clothes!
We recently moved (a day before lockdown! 😬) And I did a few similar hacks, the bathroom essentials, using pots and pans to store herbs and spices and I work in an office with lots of boxes, so I was allowed to take loads! We also passed on those boxes to other people who needed them for moving. Also make sure you know there will be an open Chinese or Indian take away nearby, so you can plan to not need to cook on moving day. You’ll need that at the end of moving 🤣
Great video, I will use some of these tips for my upcoming move...especially the paper plates between the dishware! So great, thanks!
Thank you we are moving to a new place and this was very helpful. I love the idea of wrapping the furniture legs with paper and stacking plates with paper plates.
Excellent. Using paper plates to protect glass plates. So many clever ideas.
Hoping to move soon and have literally written down every tip from the video and these comments. These tips are going to make it so much easier. Thank you
You’ve got the frames packing hack the other way around 😁 should pack them vertically rather than horizontally 😊
Naomi Scott I was a bit confused as well 😁 I asked myself “does she show us the wrong way first and afterwards the right way? Or is she just confusing vertically and horizontally?”
Nonetheless, it is a great hack 👌🏻
I noticed this too! A lot of folks get vertical/horizontal reversed! 😉
I'm really looking forward to finding a new home for our little family and when we do I can't wait to show off with these packing hacks 😁 thank u👌 hope the move goes perfect when u move x
Using beach bags is a really good hack :)
This was so great! Especially, color coding boxes according to the room they should go in - brilliant! Thanks!
Love that sock hack to wrap glassware. I don't have a newspaper subscription so this is great for me.
I love all of the tips. This is by far the best moving hack video out there for sure. I've seen a bunch of them and all of them shows pretty predictable things. This one had quite a few genius hacks!! Well done!
Preparing to move in two weeks and will be using extra random party plates to pad my ceramics. Will also be using the bathroom basket full of essentials. Excellent tips. Thank you!!
Absolutely genius. Thank you for your great tips!!!
Liked your video, helpful! Thank you. Just wanted to add my family owns supermarkets I wouldn't use boxes from markets bc they could contain roach eggs or mouse poop.
Best packing hack video. Glad i found it b4 moving to a new house. Taking books to a suit case is genius.
Dear Emily, I wish you and your family a lot of love and fun in your new home! Good luck with the move!
I loved all of these. We also used furniture wrap for our furniture and things that we wanted to make sure wouldn't get scratched.
I love these tips and everyone's tips below. I have used many of these before and found them helpful. To offer an iota of idea: I dust picture frames and furniture before packing it. I don't like moving with "old house grime."
I use drawers for packing clothes. And laundry baskets for bedding or clothes.
The content on your video was very helpful. Thank you! My favorite suggestions were the use of paper plates for packing and the use of wrapping newsprint to furniture legs for easy gliding.
Love this vid,Emily. ♥️♥️♥️ this helps me to get out from my overwhelmed head, stressing out about moving. God bless you.
Love these tips! I’ve never paid for boxes in my life, I just go to walmart or local shops on recycle day and take them! Ahha
Thank you for this video - some really useful tips in here!
Such a great idea with the table legs!! That tape-fold-over-trick is a life-saver: i try to always use it!
I'm moving soon and so stressed as I have chronic pain, so thank you for the helpful tips! ❤️
Thank you for the tips! The DYI vacuum bag is a lifesaver. Also good to pack vertically to protect other stuff like the frame. Enjoy your holidays!
The make your own space saver bag was brilliant.
Omg the bin bag vacuum hack is genius! Mum and I were like 😯 💕
I like the idea of using sock while packing glass item
And I also packed books in suitcase while shifting
thank you so much. moving very soon as just trying to get some ideas before i start preparing. thankyou again
My family's been moving around renting houses for years since I was born (I'm 22 now) because my mom likes to think of it as an adventure and being able to live in a new kind of surrounding. Some of these hacks I am familiar like using a bin bag which we've also been using for our clothes because we don't really have suitcases and I think it's clever to suck the air using a vacuum that can give us more space in our car that we usually use since we only rent trucks for our big furnitures like beds, sofa, and our dining table. I would definitely use these on our next move or maybe when I get to move abroad. Thank you.
I’m moving for the first time in a month so this is SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much!
Emily Thank you so much for showing the bag vacuum trick and cutting the handles for the boxes if the don't have one. Also, thank you for the hack when packing clothes on the hanger 😍😍😍👏🏽👏🏽
Thanx so much for the hacks and tips. I was stressing so bad how to pack for moving, you have given me much to use in this situation. 😊
Horizontal direction for pictures in the box was my favorite, never thought of that!
It’s worth asking your removal company whether they expect you to empty drawers (especially clothes). We were amazed that our removal company literally picked up and moved our chest of drawer/wardrobe which meant we didn’t have to pack our clothes. Worth asking :) all the best for the move. I love your videos xx
I just did the same thing and they said yes. Mine is a local move but nonetheless a tough one as I'm 60, not in great health and live alone. I already did the black bags on hanging clothes, BUT (dummy me) did them upside down! I still have some clothes on hangers that I want to have when I 1st get there. I'll but the bags on right side up now. PS Wonderful video!!
@@SissyD61, if you haven't changed out the bags already, just take another bag and tie it onto the bottom of the bag making a completely enclosed garment bag out of the two tied together. I feel your pain and then some. I'm 60 and in a wheelchair, so can't really do much but "directing". I know I'll be loved the day of the move. (Sarcasm inserted)
That's so wonderful, and such a blessing!😊.. When I move; I now just take out the drawers and move the empty dresser, then replace the drawers once on the moving space.. Then do the opposite to remove from moving space (truck/van/trailer) into new area.. If I don't have time to pre-organize the drawers I just cover the top space with, (towel/t-shirt/sheet/throw blanket).. It just helps with appearance and my stress! Lol..
Amazing! Love the newspaper on legs and paper plates between dishes
The hand cut-out hack for boxes is the BEST!
I don't think I've ever subscribed so fast to a YT channel. So many tips that were fresh to me and will help us with our coming move. Thank you!
I’m so exited to see the notification on my phone saying:
Emily Norris Posted: My Brand New House Tour!!
Haha I cannot wait to make it Katie! Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx
And btw great hacks! And thanks for liking my comment that made my day!
Some great tips .I've been purging ,we've lived in this house for 45yrs, but as we get closer to when I'll be packing the day to day items I was wondering if I should check on TH-cam .Sure enough I came across you , thankyou for the tips
Paper on the bottom of the table legs was my fave. I will be using that one for sure. Thanks a bunches.
These are all so useful!!! I’m definitely using the trash bag and vacuum hack for my clothes next time I move! Genius! Thank you! Great video! 😊😊😊
Let’s hope saving this video will get us to move out faster 🤞🏼 thanks for the tips
Thank you so much! I am moving and I love the idea of using socks for wine/champagne glasses :)
Thank you so much for these hacks! Definitely will be using them when I move soon!
Love these hacks! I made sure to watch Emily's video before my big move because I know she'd make me less stressed
I never thought I’d say this because I’m not a fan of moving...but I can’t Wait for my next move so I can try out all of these hacks!
I loooooved the paper plates hack. So smart!
Great hacks! Ww moved a lot when I was a kid. Our number 1 hack was to label every box with what was in it and what room it was going in.
