Help retail returns go smoothly

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

When buying an item or gift at the mall, always ask for a gift receipt.  If you have one, retailers may be more lenient when you decide to return your purchase.  With a regular slip, you often have 30 days to take good back, but stores often accept a gift receipt for up to 60 days.

Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

“What do I get my bridesmaids?”

If you had been pondering this question, here are just  a few ideas:

  • Spa certificates: or plan a trip to the spa, and treat everyone to a massage.  Your “maids” will appreciate the special pampering.
  • Personalized picture frames: Including an individal photo of you with each bridesmaid in their frame.
  • Jewelry: Maybe something to wear at the wedding, choosing something they will wear again.
  • Monogrammed totes: A fun canvas bag and fill it with several of the items they will need the day of the wedding.  i.e. hand cream, clear nail polish, hankie, kleenex, mints, etc. (for more ideas of bag inserts, check out my website under bride’s room emergency list)
