As the winter holidays creep up on us, tension and excitement build as we think about gift giving and parties and that feeling of festive goodwill that fills our souls. Instead of trying to schedule quality auditing assignments around mall visits, use your assignments to buy gifts and make money at the same time. Holiday quality auditing can save you money and make your work more enjoyable. Get our holiday quality auditing tips by reading on below.
Department Stores
No matter whom you’re buying for, you’re sure to find a perfect present at department stores. You can buy costume jewelry and stocking stuffers that are totally covered by your shop payment or considerably offset the cost of pricier items with your shop reimbursement. And don’t forget the flat fee you also get for each shop.
Home Improvement Centers
So much more than paint and lumber, these stores offer a treasure chest of gifts for everyone on your list. From colorful throw rugs to decorative bathroom accessories, unique switch plates to add character to any room, useful hand tools for small projects, lamps and light fixtures, home improvement centers are perfect for gift buying. If you wander throughout the store, you’ll find even more ideal items you never thought of.
Book Stores
Even with the popularity of electronic books, nothing can replace the look and feel of a real book. Whether you’re shopping for a storybook for new parents to read to their baby, buying a preschooler their first book, treating your friend to a bestselling mystery, or giving an aspiring chef a popular cookbook, book stores have it all. In addition, book stores typically carry many novelty gifts like mugs, keychains and knickknacks ideal for Secret Santa gift exchanges.
Liquor Stores
Nearly everyone has a favorite wine, liquor or beer that they rarely treat themselves to. Liquor store quality shops give you the opportunity to buy them those treats without breaking your bank account. For more frugal spending, consider shot glasses, corkscrews, whimsical swizzle sticks, and bar accessories like strainers and shakers. Miniature bottles of high-end liquor brands make excellent stocking stuffers.
