Definitely an extra PTFE coupler and a spare nozzle as well. If you have the extra cash I would just get the hot end pack.

Aren't new UM2 buyers getting a "care package" with a nozzle and 2 PTFE couplers?
Actually:
From Q2 2015 we will ship every Ultimaker 2 with 2 additional nozzles and 2 additional PTFE teflon parts to assist you in a successful, trouble free printing experience.

Thanks all of you for the great input! I will be well prepared now.

You shouldn't need anything for the first month. I would get a spare isolator if it's for sale and follow this thread and get this thing Swordriff is making when he has his polyimide washer for sale (post #250):

Also possibly get his heater block and temp sensor - but mainly this polyimide washer should increase the lifetime of the teflon isolator from a few months to a few decades.
Other than that you should get some wood glue and mix with water to coat the glass (easier to use than glue stick to get a very very thin coat). And a paint brush to paint it on. Also get a small putty knife and sharpen the hell out of it until the edge is as thin and sharp as a razor blade. Also get some screwdriver hex drivers when the printer arrives - I forget the sizes but 90% of the screws all have the same metric hex size - probably 2.5mm? or 2mm? And then the fan screws might have a smaller size.
Screwdriver style handles for hex wrenches is what Ultimaker assembly people use and they are 10X faster and easier than those stupid L shaped hex wrenches.
