If you’re tempted to buy some gifts at that pop-up store in the mall...

Tis the season for pop-up shopping!

From calendars and accessories, to handbags, toys, tools and more, holiday pop-up stores in malls and shopping centers have arrived. Here today and gone next month – some of them are worth the trip. Christina Norsig, CEO of PopUp Insider says pop-up shopping can be a real bargain if you know what to look for:


• Find out about returns. Ask about their policies and if you’ll have to pay a stocking fee.

• Inspect the goods. If it looks cheap or sub-par, keep shopping. Quality varies from shop to shop and you’ll probably find better quality for the same or similar price elsewhere.

• Ask when their clearance sale starts. Pop-up shops have to pack up and get out right after the holiday and are usually eager to slash prices and sell their merchandise before their lease is up.
