What's your Christmas Gift Game? Over 50% claim to practice “Gift Recycling”
December 05, 2016
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – In an online survey conducted by
Lazada Philippines, the country’s largest online retailer, 51% of the 220
respondents admitted that they recycled gifts. The practice of Gift Recycling,
where people re-purpose gifts they receive into gifts for others, is often
considered taboo. Another prevalent practice is “bulk gift giving.” 63% of respondents
practiced giving the same gift to multiple people during Christmas. Top of the
wholesale gift list in the survey included Christmas gift baskets, pastries and
personal care.
Filipinos have a very high regard for the Christmas
giving tradition. 82% of respondents believe that gifts for others must come
before gifts for oneself. That’s why 76% of respondents describe their
Christmas gifts as “a long list of small gifts.” But size doesn’t matter since
83% believe gift wrapping is an important tradition. When it comes to Christmas
gift giving games, Kris Kringle reigns supreme with 59% of the respondents into
this holiday tradition.
Why the love for gift giving, yet the prevalence of “Gift
Recycling” and “Bulk gift giving.” Inanc Balci, Lazada CEO has a theory.
"While we all practice gift giving, finding the right gift is extremely
hard. There’s the traffic, the lines in the malls, time spent, and the severe
lack of options. That’s why it’s no surprise that Filipinos will cut corners to
the formal, personalized gift giving process.”
Fortunately, Lazada, with its over 4.3 million items, is
a convenient way to find the perfect gift for everyone on your shopping list.
With, its free nationwide delivery, cash on delivery and ongoing Online
Revolution Sale, gift hunters will find the best deals to complete their
Christmas lists. And don’t worry about giving gifts late. 81.6% of us believe that it’s fine to give
gifts after Christmas.
Yes, it’s the thought that counts with Christmas gifts.
But with Lazada, putting more thought into gift giving is more stress free.
