Essentials Kit: Pack This Box Last, Open It First

Moving can be challenging and stressful, and after a long day of hauling boxes, the last thing you want is to hunt through a mountain of cardboard to find a toothbrush, a phone charger, or a coffee mug. That’s where the “Essentials Kit” comes in. This vital box is your secret weapon during a household move, helping you have a stress-free first night and ensuring you have immediate access to life’s little necessities without unpacking everything at once.

As part of our partnership with Twin Cities In Motion, we love to get up early to help deliver equipment for their runs, such as the Get In Gear 2026. It’s a little gray and dreary this early, but as it lightens up and crowds start gathering, Minnehaha Park will become a party!
