The Hungarians pile up the gifts

With the holidays approaching, one of Hungary’s largest online stores conducted a comprehensive poll among its registered users about their Christmas shopping habits. About 15,000 people filled out the Pepita.hu questionnaire, and the answers revealed that the gift-giving habits of the Hungarian population have not changed much in the past period, there are of course always exceptions.

Those surveyed take care of purchasing gifts in advance: more than half of the respondents (52.1%) already complete one of the most energy-consuming tasks in the autumn months, and nearly 44 percent in the first two weeks of December. The camp of procrastinators is represented by only 3%, they are the ones who leave shopping until the last minute. To the smallest extent (1.6%) there are those who complete the virtual or physical holiday shopping trip from the beginning of the year.
