I will start of the voting, I would be very upset if someone gave me something that was already used as a Christmas gift. Apparently, most people are fine with it. Check out this study...
According to a new survey, 82% of people are open to receiving secondhand holiday gifts, which is up 11% from last year. Used electronics is the most common, followed by sporting goods, and home improvement items.
If you snagged a Black Friday deal on a new TV, would you consider dusting off the old one . . . wrapping it up . . . and giving it to someone else as a holiday gift?
It seems like every year there's talk about how USED GIFTS are trending, and this year is no different. According to a new survey, 82% of people are open to RECEIVING secondhand holiday gifts, which is up 11% from last year.
And 76% of people wouldn't have a problem GIVING a used gift.
67% of people say the "stigma" around giving previously owned gifts has lessened . . . mostly due to affordability, but also practicality and sustainability. Some people also want things that are no longer available "new."
So what used items are people gifting?
Electronics is the most common, followed by sporting goods, and home improvement items.
People are also giving secondhand books . . . media, like Blu-rays and vinyl records . . . toys and games . . . jewelry . . . ceramics and ornaments . . . video games . . . arts and crafts . . . and bags and purses.
Apparel did NOT make the list.
I will say that people have to be lying about this just to be nice. There is no way if you get an old item as a gift you would be okay with it. I would feel like someone didn't think about me or didn't want to actually spend time and money on me. Just my thoughts but man that number seems high
