kit and caboodle

The entire lot

Kit and caboodle means everything—the whole collection or group, with nothing left out.

Almost always appears as the whole kit and caboodle: They packed up the whole kit and caboodle and moved to Florida.

The phrase is informal and slightly old-fashioned, with kit meaning a set of items and caboodle (from boodle) meaning a bunch or lot.
