You can get more creative in finding ways to meet your gift giving goals without over spending. 2. Use Coupons. Your local Sunday paper is full of coupons; scour the internet and check out retailer websites. 3. Ad match. You might find a place you wouldn't normally shop has a better price that your normal store. 4. Ask for discounts at the register. Hey, all they can say is not. It's worth a shot. 5. Leave the kids at home when you shop. You won't be tempted to purchase things you don't need. 6. Make homemade gifts to give to extended family. Set a small budget per person and check out the local craft stores. 7. Check if your favorite local retailer is offering online specials. Find out if they are offering unique discounts, merchandise or free shipping. 8. Shopping for toys? Don't just look at the big discount stores; a number of retailers will get toys in stock just for the holidays. 9. Purchase restaurant gift cards at the restaurant. If you purchase elsewhere, you might miss out on the bonuses the actual restaurant will give you. 10. Save your receipts and read the return policy. 20 Tips for Your Workplace Holiday Party 1. Do act as if you're being observed. Because you are. 2. Don't talk shop. Well, OK, you can a little. But not a lot, and not exclusively. 3. Do ask about a dress code. You'll typically be aiming for a snazzier version of your usual professional look. 4. Don't spend the whole evening talking to the colleagues you spend all day with. 5. Do take this chance to get to know other coworkers, and your boss, a little better. 6. Don't get drunk. Not even tipsy. If photos are being taken, put down your drink first. 7. Do act pleased to be there. This shindig cost your company money, so be grateful. 8. Don't flirt. With anyone. 9. Do network. It's a great chance to schmooze with other departments, your boss's boss, etc. 10. Do stay at the party for at least an hour. This is part of the "grateful" thing. 11. Don't be the last one to leave (unless you're helping clean up). 12. Don't make a pig of yourself at the food buffet. You can eat later if you're still hungry. 13. Do always speak and act in ways that make you appear intelligent, agreeable, and sane. 14. Don't talk politics or religion, tell dirty jokes, or use foul language. 15. Do choose subjects that are cordial and uplifting-like hobbies or travel or books. 16. Don't pull rank (i.e. ask a subordinate to get you a plate of food, or a drink). 17. Do hold your beverage in your left hand so you can shake hands with a dry right hand. 18. Don't gossip. (You won't if you're observing rule No. 13.) 19. Do find out first if guests are invited. Then, choose a guest who will reflect well on you. 20. Don't forget to thank the party organizers. Tips from your friends at Stor All 1) Need Moving and Packing Supplies?
