Mrs. Large clued me into a funny trend on social media this morning, people are coming up with 'starter packs' for every type of person online. For example: The 'Every Cheap Italian Restaurant' Starter Pack includes a shaker jar of red pepper flake, a red and white checkered table cloth, sad-looking garlic bread, and "the restaurant is always named after someone."

It started us thinking about what items or advice would be in a 'Starter Pack' for people who just moved into Connecticut? If someone from Arizona or Wyoming moved to Southbury, what would you tell them to do or buy to make them blend in and feel comfortable? Here's what I came up with.
