Congrats Myles! The Old Spice Mug looks great!
We moved last year and got empty corrugated cardboard boxes with inserts free from a local business. Find a store or two that sells fragile items, and they may be able to help you with these kinds of boxes. Most of them will have slots on the sides to make them easy to carry and stack. It will save you a few bucks over buying new boxes.
You can get rolls of bubble wrap, packing tape, and packing paper at Walmart. You'll spend a few bucks here, but it is money well spent. Use more packing than you think you'll need as boxes
will get rolled, stacked upside down, or dropped. I bubble wrapped all my shave gear individually, dropped stuff in boxes with cardboard inserts, and nothing got damaged. Go for smaller boxes (takes more of them, but it is easier to carry and stack heavy items this way), tape 'em up good - sides, top, and bottom, and label them with a sharpie. Box up all your heat-sensitive items (soap, cream, aftershave, cologne, etc.) together so they don't end up cooking or freezing in storage. It sounds like a lot of preparation, but it makes a big difference when you finally start unpacking. Good luck with the move!
Oh yeah...if you have any MWF, throw it away. There's no need to take it with you.
