Recently moved and my box of scissors and rotary cutters was missing for two months!!!! The day I received a new rotary cutter I found my box!!! Lesson learned order cutter immediately, then you will locate the missing box!!!! Good luck with your move!!

How about "feminine hygiene products"?

If you have a lot of fabric and need something other than fabric you could use cottons, color names or intended use like quilt backs. Or you can also label with the old location name so you have an idea what the contents will be. I do this with kitchen items too. Knowing that the box contents are from "lower LH corner cupboard" would tell me that it has the plastic storage containers. "Misc Quilt Supplies" covers anything that you might want to slip by a unhappy helper.

Good Luck!

I found a code for a couple of boxes of fabric that worked...under bed. He figured it was shoes or off season things.

Sewing room, craft supplies, kids' toys, Mom's stuff, Grandma's stuff.

Good luck with the labeling!

This could take care of about 10-18 boxes: "Laundry Room", "Items w/ Stains to be Removed", "To Be Ironed", "Needs Mending", "Oven and Window Cleaning Supplies", "Magazines w/ Recipes to Try". All boxes DH would never think to open. Thankfully, he knows everything I have for sewing and would be right there helping me pack.

Make a list of simple numerics. And make notes of what is in each box.

Thanks all for the good suggestions. NanaCsews2, I'll be sure to use these. My sister also added "Instruction Manuals."
