Pack a mug, plate, knife, fork, and spoon for each member of the family. Mugs are better than glasses as they can be used for both hot and cold beverages. Wrap glasses and pack plates and utensils well to ensure they arrive at your new home safely. For cooking, pack one all-purpose pot that can be used to boil water or stir-fry vegetables. Only include this essential if your household goods are going to take longer than a few days to reach your new home.
