Tips for shopping in a hotel gift shop



The hotel gift shop is convenient if you need to get some last minute shopping done before you travel back home or if you are looking for something unique. 


Opening hours tend to be flexible, and one can always chose to pay cash in dollars, shillings ,euros,credit card, or charge goods bought to the their room. If you are embarking on a safari, take the time to look at the prices of items at the gift shop.


 This will give you a comparison base, for the prices of goods offered by other vendors, thus giving you an edge when bargaining.

 


Always let the shop assistant know what mode of transport you will be using for your next trip, so that they can wrap your goods accordingly. If you need to store the goods for sometime, the shop assistants can arrange that for you, through the hotel porters.


 Be on the look out for special offers and discounts being offered
Happy Shopping!
