    I have a little hammer that has a bunch of different sized screwdrivers in the handle.  I love it and got it for like $5.

    Here's an example:

    I think I got mine at Lowe's or Home Depot.  But you can definitely get them on Amazon if you have time (I just checked).

    I have a little tool kit from ikea that has gotten a TON of use since I got it a few years ago. 

    Maybe a swifter or clorox wipes?

    Diane, painter's tape is a great idea.  When I first moved into my house, I used a lot of Paper Plates, and plastic silverware.  It made it really easy to have meals and be able to throw every thing away, no need to be doing dishes your first week or so while trying to unpack and organize.
