Many X-Mas presents will be re-gifted re-wrapped
More of us will this year re-gift unwanted Christmas presents than ever before… and we'll even wrap them in festive paper we tore off our own presents last year.A study of festive shoppers found that many of us are opting to re-use yuletide paraphernalia from last year in a bid to save money.
73 percent of people will apparently recycle unwanted presents they were disappointed with last year and 52 percent will re-use some old wrapping paper they have stored.
The poll of 1,000 people also found that 24% have given up sending Christmas cards altogether.
However, the re-gifting and re-wrapping does introduce one problem… remembering what someone gave you last year, so you don'e give it back.
A spokesperson for AnyJunk, which conducted the study, said: "The British public is obviously taking the recycling and re-using message to heart.
"It was a surprise to learn that more than more than half of our customers will be recycling at least some of last year’s wrapping paper.”
