the Cost of Personal Shoppers

My daughter was having a birthday party and wanted a Disney theme. I planned out everything and hired the appropriate people to make the cake, cater, etc. My daughter really wanted her and I to decorate ourselves but I just didn't have time to buy all the supplies to decorate this rather elaborate party. For this reason I hired a personal shopper to get the items on my list for decorating the party.

This service was great. I told my shopper exactly what we had in mind for the party and she managed to track down everything on my list. During her search she also found some other things she thought might tie in well. With my permission she picked a few additional things up that ended up really tying everything together.

If you're going to hire someone to shop for anything make sure you clearly communicate what it is you want. Don't be afraid to send something back if it's not what you're looking for. Try to find someone that will work for a flat fee as opposed to by the hour as they tend to pad their hours when the contract is worked that way. Try to find someone who has a similar style to you.
