Moving is stressful. Period. Add in moving during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and it seems like an impossible task. You are working on a tight schedule trying to move while also visiting family and not miss any of your holiday festivities. Not to mention, you have new gifts you have received and gifts you are giving thrown into the mix of everything, If you have to move over the holidays, we are going to help you make it as stress free as possible.

At Apartment Hunters of Arkansas, we are in the business of relocating. We work alongside incredible relocations services companies and would love to discuss who you should use in the area.

Get to Packing

Really, everyone thinks moving your belongings is the worst, but packing is the most tedious part of the whole process. Keep yourself organized while you pack. There is no better time than now to purge your home of unwanted, unused items. Make piles of items you want to donate or throw away and follow through with those plans before loading everything into your moving truck. We also highly suggest not waiting until the week of moving day. Get started early and avoid stressing at the very end. Imagine all of the time you can spend with your family and friends, enjoying the holidays, if you’ve already gotten packing out of the way.

 A Pro Tip from Apartment Hunters is to pack all of your holiday decorations in clear tubs that are easily accessible. That way, whenever you get into your new home, you can pull out your holiday items and enjoy a little festive cheer! It doesn’t hurt to turn up the holiday music too and get in the spirit of Christmas while you get your belongings packed and ready to go.

Want to avoid the stress of packing all together? Professional relocation services can pack your house in half the time that you can. They are trained to work quickly and safely. That means your items are packed the correct way, whereas if you are like most people, you are probably wrapping priceless  family heirlooms inside whatever kitchen towel you can find.

Donate, Donate, Donate

Like we said earlier, this is the perfect time to purge your belongings. Start with a system of 

1. How often have I used this?
2. Am I married to it?
3. Would someone else benefit more from it?
4. Does it spark joy – Thank you Marie Kondo.

This will help you decide if you absolutely can not live without something. And the best thing about donating during the holidays is that many people are looking for gifts for family members that they may not be able to afford, and you will be bringing them joy and helping them spread holiday cheer. ‘Tis the season to give, and you are doing so while downsizing your belongings, making for a simpler move.

If you don’t feel like you have time to run your old belongings somewhere, your local Goodwill and The Salvation Army will schedule a time to pick up your items, for free.
