The Little Just-in-Case Box | Simple Home Preparedness
Being prepared does not have to mean turning your home into a survival store. It is much simpler than that.
Positively Prepared
At Handmade Luxury Home, we like to guard our home -and our families- against calamities. We are positive preparers; no dystopian thoughts, alarmist ideas, or anxieties.
We prep, but not the obsessive, anxiety driven kind of prepping. Not the 'tomorrow the world as we known it will end' kind of fatalism. Not the hoarding kind of way.
On the contrary, we joyfully prep.
Our goals is to share upbeat, anxiety-free prepping tips that won’t send you into a panic—or bankrupt you.
Come along with us on our journey.

Where and How to Start Preparing Your Home: A Gentle, Practical Start
Many European governments recommend being prepared for 72 hours in case of a large-scale emergency. This allows services to organise a coordinated, large-scale response—both geographically and in numbers. But let’s be honest: even with official guidelines (like the Dutch DenkVooruit.nl), it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. We’ve been there too.
Self-Reliance: The New Luxury
One of our neighbours has everything. A beautiful house, two cars in the driveway, a lovely terrace, a pond, a perfectly tidy garden, designer clothes and a dog that required years on a waiting list. It all looks very comfortable. And it is, I am sure.
