Survey helps point shoppers in the right
direction so their last-minute gifts don’t go unused and
unnoticed
With Christmas less than two weeks away, millions of people are
still searching for the perfect last-minute gifts for their family
and friends. And while shoppers are busy trying to cross everyone
off their list, they should keep in mind that more than half of the
presents they give this holiday season will likely be forgotten by
this time next year. According to a new survey by Groupon (NASDAQ:
GRPN), the ecommerce marketplace for everything you do locally,
more than half of last year’s presents––53 percent––have already
escaped one’s memory. In addition, the study of 2,000 people found
that the average person receives at least three gifts that miss the
mark every year.

“It’s incredibly stressful to find the perfect gift that our
loved ones will cherish forever, but it doesn’t have to be this
way,” said Aaron Cooper, President of North America, Groupon. “We
found that the gifts people remember the most are those that are
given with love from someone they care about, fill a need, provide
a great memory, have a sentimental meaning and result in
compliments from other people.”
The survey, conducted by market researchers OnePoll and
commissioned by Groupon, found that the most remembered gifts
identified from a list of items included clothing and apparel,
dinner at a local restaurant, the latest gadgets, a spa day and a
trip to a getaway destination. Gifts to avoid were identified as
wrinkle cream, a scale, exercise equipment, underwear and cleaning
supplies.
Respondents were asked why they thought people gave them gifts
that were easily forgettable and the top reasons included: they
were just checking a box, they thought it was funny, they
personally would have used or wanted the item for themselves, they
were sending a message or they were being passive aggressive.
The study also found that your partner is most likely to give
you the best gifts, while your sibling is most likely to give you
the worst.
The Groupon Holiday Gift Shop is available 24/7 with curated
items and experiences that everyone on your list won’t soon
forget.
