Moving is a time that can feel stressful and rushed no matter how much planning you've done. It is very common for items to accidentally be left behind, especially those that aren't used often. Here are a few of the belongings that are most likely to be left behind during your move.

What Are Commonly Forgotten Objects When Moving?

1. Important Documents

Most people store their important and legal documents, like marriage certificates and social security cards, in a lockbox or a filing cabinet. Sometimes, these types of items are so well put away that they fly under the radar and end up being left behind. Pulling files or documents out of storage and placing them out in the open when you begin packing can prevent this situation.

2. Houseplants

Many people aren't sure of how to transport their plants safely in order for them to arrive at their new home alive, so they put off packing them until the last minute. Many times, they end up accidentally forgotten. Try moving your plants near the front door so they aren't missed and dedicate a bit of time researching the best packing and moving methods since they vary from plant to plant.

3. Housekeys

Both the key to your new house and the key to your old house are likely to be left behind in a move. This can be especially frustrating if you arrive at your new home only to find that you'll need to turn around and go back to retrieve the new key. It's always a good idea to keep both sets on you rather than stashing them away in a drawer or other out-of-sight location.

4. Toiletries

Last-minute showers before moving day often result in shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and other personal hygiene products being left behind in the tub. Instead, ensure all family members shower the night prior, so hygiene items are packed and ready to go ahead of time.
