Three quarters of Scots never spend more than £50 on gifts and the maximum spent on presents in Scotland is £300, compared to five percent of Northerners who spend in excess of £350 on loved ones.

Men are more generous when it comes to buying presents for family and friends than women. More than a third (36 per cent) of men spend over £50 on each gift, whereas only a quarter of women (26 per cent) stump up this much for presents.

One for you, two for me

With the UK’s average present spend for 2006 set at £37 people are opting for ‘self santa-ing’ to ensure they get the gifts they want this Christmas. One in three Britons are set to spend more than £100 on gifts and treats for themselves in the run up to Christmas, 2.7 times more than is spent on the average present brought in the UK.

____________________________________________
1 Research conducted by YouGov 18-21 November 2005, 2039 adults surveyed

Men are most likely to ‘self santa’ with 38 per cent admitting that they reward themselves to over £100 worth of treats during December and one in five confessing to spending over £200 on themselves.

The ‘Self Santa-ing’ trend highlights a north/south divide. Southerners are most likely to ‘Self Santa’ with one in three saying they spend over £100 and 16 per cent admitting to

spending over £200 on themselves. Whereas over three quarters of people in the north say they spend less than £100 on themselves in the run up to Christmas, saving their money for buying presents for family and friends.

Gary Goodman at PriceRunner said: “Whether people are spending their money on Christmas gifts or ‘self santa-ing’ it is important to have the confidence they are getting the best prices. Price-comparison sites can give people the peace of mind that they have looked at all the options both online and on the high-street before buying”.

A survey conducted on www.pricerunner.co.uk, a division of ValueClick, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCLK), has revealed that two out of five women and men plan to spend between £201.00 and £500.00 on Christmas gifts this year, with men more likely than women to do their Christmas shopping on the internet. The survey also shows that MP3 players and digital cameras will be the most popular Christmas present for 2004 with books and DIY products at the bottom of the nation’s wish list.

Questions asked by PriceRunner in a pop-up survey from 5 to 10 November 2004 included: What will be the most popular gift for Christmas this year?’, ‘What do you most want for Christmas?’ , ‘Where are you going to buy your Christmas gifts?’ and ‘How much do you plan to spend on Christmas gifts this year?’. The survey was answered by 442 women and 736 men and showed that the top Christmas gift for men and women this year is a digital camera or alternatively jewellery or clothes for women or an MP3 player for men.

Below are the results to the question “What will be the most popular gift for Christmas this year?”

“What do you want for Christmas?”

Watch out – don’t buy any of these…

Where are consumers going to buy their Christmas gifts and how much are they going to spend?
Men are more likely than women to do their Christmas shopping only on the internet (18% of men compared to 8% of women). Shopping both on the internet and in shops is what the majority of women plan to do. 2 out of 5 women and men have a Christmas budget of £201- £500 this year. One out of four plan to spend less than £200. More women than men are high spenders and have planned to spend more than £501.
