Moving out? You'll want these.
Plates, bowls and utensils for the days around a move, sturdy enough for a real meal, packed by the day so you buy exactly what you need.
Check dishes and headaches off your moving checklist. Your moving company or the moving truck company can't get you this kind of moving supply.
Pick your move length
Every kitchen kit holds full serveware for lunch and dinner (plates, bowls, platters, utensils, and napkins), sized to the length of your move, with nothing left over to store. Count the days your kitchen will be packed, from the last box to the first unpacked pan, and round up.
The quick move. Pack the kitchen Friday, eat like a person all weekend, and don't end up borrowing a fork from your neighbor.
For longer moves, when the kitchen boxes are buried and setting up drawers and cabinets exactly right is absolutely not happening today.
For movers who never want to think about it. Take your time unpacking. With this much on hand you could have friends over for dinner.

What's inside
Thin plates buckle under anything heavier than a slice of cake. These don't. You can eat takeout, leftovers, or something you actually cooked on a hot plate without doubling up.
The origin story
Me! Olivia, mover extraordinaire with terrible anxiety about packing and unpacking.
I've moved from Brooklyn to Westchester, New York to Montana, and all the way back east, crawling further and further up the Hudson. I've settled in Albany now, but in ten years in the Capital Region, boy have I moved. My life has seen more storage units than the average person's.
After five moves in two years, I promised myself I'd never let packing dominate my life again. Then in the spring of 2026 I packed up a beautiful studio next to Washington Park in the course of a single weekend.
Somewhere between the anxiety and the poke bowl I ordered after boxing up my entire kitchen, I started thinking there had to be a better way. Most of us do our own packing, with far too much going on to plan it properly. And the kitchen is the worst of it, the room with the most boxes, right when you're trying to eat cheap, clear out the fridge, and keep track of every last fork.
I had to borrow a fork from my neighbor. That's when the kitchen kit was born.
Instead of a 20-pack of paper plates you'll have to find somewhere to hide in your new place, get just enough to make it through the move. No more, no less. Eat your takeout on real serveware, skip the dishes, and let the week feel a little less hectic.
I made these for anyone with anxiety, with OCD, who hates packing, or who just wants it to be simple: a small solution to a problem nobody thinks about until they're standing in front of a wall of boxes wondering where the forks went.
I pack and ship every kit myself. If something arrives wrong, you're emailing me, not a support queue. Say hello.
