Think about your moving budget

Many expenses can occur during the holidays, and it is probably the hardest time of year to stay on a budget. So, you need to plan your moving expenses properly and to tight your belt if you need to. You can find affordable movers who are able to save you some money during the move. If you cannot find a moving company in Kuwait to fit your budget you can consider some alternatives such as rental trucks. Also, you can get some free cardboard boxes and use your old blankets and towels to wrap your items.

Let’s start with packing!

We know how depressing it sounds – you have to pack instead of enjoying the summer near the sea. But, if you do everything on time and efficiently, you can have free time to enjoy your summer holidays. So, for successful packing process you will need:

  • Clean and sturdy moving boxes
  • Labels
  • Wrapping material, packing tapes, markers

Start with sorting and decluttering your home. When you throw away everything you don’t need anymore you can start packing for the move. The first pack all your unessential items and essentials leave for last. Make sure to label every box and to protect every fragile item with some wrapping material and tape. If you do it right, you will move during the holidays without headaches.

Think about the Weather

Unfortunately, the weather you cannot control on a moving day. If you are moving to somewhere colder, be prepared with clothes. But, if you are making a move to a warmer place such as Kuwait make sure to bring items you need such as light wardrobe and water. If you are expecting the rain, make sure to cover all your belongings to protect it. In case you don’t have enough space in your new home for seasonal clothes, think about warehouse Kuwait where you can store all the items you won’t use.

Prepare your children for the move during the holidays

Probably this is the toughest part of the move during the holidays. You have to prepare your children and help them choose a new school. Be patient and help them with this adjustment period. You can arrange a “see you soon” party and to invite all their friends to celebrate this new chapter of life. Explain to them that they can stay in touch with old friends while making new ones in a new place.
