I'm writing a story about moving house and wondered what sort of items would you unpack first to make your new place feel like home and no, I don't mean just putting the kettle on - any idea would be a great help - thanks

If it hadn't have been Christmas, it would still have been wine glasses, but then ornaments (partner is South African so we have wooden carvings, nice candles etc) and lamps (I hate bright overhead lights!) and the softer the lighting the better I look :-)
Stan/LeeH you have your priorities right:)
Those two should get together and write superhero comics.
When I was single and moved house one of the first things I unpacked was the hi-fi so I could listen to music while unpacking everything else!
Family pictures might be important, especially if this was the first time the person lived alone, or if they'd moved a long way from loved ones.
Personally Lee's suggestion sounds pretty good. I'd need to unpack the plates and glasses too - can't be doing with plastic ones.
