A set of cleaning supplies:

Broom
Mop
Scrub brushes
sponges
dish towels
dish soap
hand soap
toilet cleaner
oven cleaner
paper towels
brillo

When I moved into my first place, I had to clean it before I moved in. The supplies were an expense I forgot.

Plus:

Plastic utensils
paper plates
disposable cups and bowls

Most people take a little while to unpack, and disposable are useful until they get settled.

OH! Cheapo curtain rods and curtains, until they can get nice ones. I forgot those too, and had to hang up sheets so my neighbors wouldn't see my nekkid behind running around. Chat Icon

From personal experience--the morning after my wedding, I woke up (in our new home) and while taking a shower, realized we had never bought shampoo. Very annoying.
