Men Less Prepared For Christmas Than Women
Have you prepared for Christmas yet? Survey results suggest that if you are a woman you will already be prepared but if you are a man you’ll have done absolutely nothing.
A survey by the Halifax building society has shown that women are generally far better prepared for Christmas and for beating the effects of the credit crunch than men. Around one in three (30%) or women who save for Christmas have said that they started saving earlier this year compared with only 15% of men. Nearl half of the women surveyed (48%) said that they had written a Christmas gift list but only 15% of men said they had done the same.
Although there have been reports in the press that the economic downturn is over many of those interviewed have said that they would be spending less this year than last. Around half (47%) of the women interviewed have said that they would be spending less on gifts this year compared to around 30% of men. A large proportion of the men interviewed (75%) said that they would be changing their buying habits by taking advantage of pre-Christmas sales.
Many are turning to online shopping this year with around 28% of women and 43% or men reporting that they would be buying some or all of their Christmas gifts online. Many parents have reported that they tend to leave the high value, main gift shopping until last, particularly if they are buying large items. This avoids having to find secure hiding places away from prying eyes.
Advice for consumers who want to save some cash this Christmas is to shop around, both online and in the high street. Many stores are offering some outstanding pre-Christmas bargains with discounts as high as 25%. There are also lots of online discount codes that offer significant savings.
Whatever you do be sure to have a wonderful, restful and enjoyable Christmas.
