What do people commonly forget they need when moving into their own house?

i think that could be hidden treasures we put away long time ago. i'd left old wallets with money & others could be jeweleries. so i'd say small stuff in drawers / cabinets / under the bed frame. so check out all furnitures esp those you intend to get rid of.

also be aware of the movers when they move boxes / stuff into your new home. be sure that all are in, nothing is left behind & count them. always take your own valuables, including laptops by yourself. hope this helps. happy moving!

i have in the past forgotten things like;
kitty litter
shower rings
shower curtains
kitchen items like a can opener, wooden spoons, skillets, etc
laundry detergent
kitty food
i also have forgotten curtains
light bulbs

Anytime I have moved in the past, I fill my laundry basket with certain items. This will be one of the last things to go into the truck, so that we can access it the minute we get to our new place. In it I put, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hammer, bag or box of nails, a few towels, cleaning rags, laundry soap, light bulbs..etc..it makes it a lot easier to not have to look for these items.

Others include:
Rugs/mats
Vacuum
Shower curtain/rod/plastic curtain liner

Mostly all your basic cleaning stuff....laundry soap..dish soap...cleaners..sponges .. vaccum do the bedroom have built in light? maybe a table lamp is needed.......do all the bulbs in the apt. good? kitchen garbage bin & bags...
