Q: Survey says that when it comes to gift giving we do this during the 7th year of marriage?

A: spend the least amount on our spouse for Xmas

According to a new survey, 71% of people buy themselves presents when they’re out Christmas shopping.

Here are a few more results from the survey . . .

  1. Half of men leave their Christmas shopping until the last minute, versus about one-third of women.
  1. People spend the most on presents for their significant other during their first two years together . . . and the least when they’ve been together seven years.
  1. 53% of people agonize over what to buy for gifts.  And men struggle more than women.
  1. Only 6% of people say that the most important thing about a present is how much the person spent.  50% say it’s the thought that counts.
