This Christmas, 80 per cent of us will lie and say we love a present we actually hate

84 per cent of us have received a gift we didn’t like, but only 9 per cent of us can actually admit it

A survey of almost 500 people by Gift Wink reveals that we’re most likely to forget a present for a close friend and 70 per cent of us have re-gifted a present we didn’t want!

London, UK November 21st 2017 00.01AM GMT: A recent survey by Gift Wink has unveiled our gifting habits, showing that 70 per cent of us have ‘re-gifted’ a present we didn’t want, rather than admit we didn’t like it, and almost 80 per cent of us are willing to say we love a present we actually dislike.

Gift Wink, a company that aims to take the hard part out of buying presents for loved ones, conducted a survey of almost 500 respondents from across the UK. It found that 84 per cent of us have received a gift we didn’t like, but only 9 per cent could admit it.

The survey also found that we’re more likely to buy the wrong present for someone between the age of 35 and 44 and that we waste a huge amount of time on gifting! 40 per cent of us spend more than two days a year or ‘way too much time’ when weighing up all our hours spent buying, wrapping, sending, thinking and discussing.
