Oddest one I've seen -- "a bag of a**holes" :)

I move frequently, so tend to hold onto my boxes between moves to prevent the mad dash around town for more. But they get so marked up, it can be hard to tell what's what after a few moves. Enter large white mailing stickers!

I write a standard three line description on each sticker: 1) My last name 2) the room the box goes to in the new location and 3) brief box contents run down. I add "FRAGILE" if needed. I place the sticker in a uniform place on each box to keep it easy.

I just tell the movers to read the second line if I'm not around to direct them to the proper room (but they often don't do this anyway, so be prepared to lug a few boxes within the house). To save some time, you can even run the stickers through your printer to print out your name and room name so all you have to write is the box contents description as you pack.
