Last time I moved, almost 28 years ago, I didn't bother with boxes for 
that sort of thing.  I just put them in my car, instead of the truck.

BTW, if I look I might find some boxes I haven't yet unpacked after the 
previous move 40 years ago. ;-)

I recently threw out some stuff from that era. :-)
