What is the most popular gift to give on Christmas?
According to Monash Business School’s Australian Consumer and Retail Studies, in 2023, the most popular gifts purchased in the previous year were clothing, footwear and accessories. Gift cards and vouchers, toys, games, books and stationery were also high on the list.
What do most people spend on Christmas gifts?
Deciding on how much you spend on your Christmas gifts this year is such a personal decision and shouldn’t be determined by what others around you or the internet are spending. Just because that influencer is dropping a thousands dollars minimum on their loved ones, it doesn’t mean you need to follow suit—nor does it mean you don’t value your friends any less.
Your circumstances will also depend on how many people you’re buying for and your budget. A study conducted last year saw people spending an average of just under $400 ($373 to be exact) on gifts.
