You just found out.
We already made the list.
Something is happening in three days and you do not own any of it. Tell us the moment — a guest arriving, a hospital stay, a 6am flight, a cold snap — and you get back the whole list: every piece, why it is on there, what to check before you choose, and a straight link to buy it.
Tell the concierge what just landed on you.
The concierge is automated — it reads what you typed and builds the list instantly. No account, no cart, no waiting on anyone.
Guests arrive Saturday — the spare room is a storage room.sheets? towels? is there even a lamp in there?

5 things to sortHow a list gets made
Curated, not tested — and we say so.
Plenty of sites claim to have field-tested everything they link to. We do not, and we will not pretend otherwise. What ReadyHarbor does is narrower and more useful when you are short of time.
- 01
Work out what the moment actually needs
We read what people who have done this say they wished they had, and what they say they wasted money on. That becomes the list, in the order things bite.
- 02
Say why each thing is on the list
Every item gets one line on the job it does in this specific situation. If we cannot say why it is there, it comes off.
- 03
Tell you what to check before choosing
Sizes, fittings, the spec that catches people out. Then you pick, on Amazon, with the live price and the real delivery date in front of you.
