Buying Christmas Gifts: Lower Income Leads to Greater Generosity

According to research from BigFatBalloons.co.uk, the balloon delivery and teddy bear gifts specialist, the less you earn the more generous you are when it comes to buying Christmas gifts for family and friends.

(PRWeb) December 12, 2006 -- According to research from BigFatBalloons.co.uk, the balloon delivery and teddy bear gifts (http://www.bigfatballoons.co.uk/cat.php?cPath=52) specialist, the less you earn the more generous you are when it comes to buying Christmas gifts (http://www.bigfatballoons.co.uk/cat.php?cPath=54) for family and friends.

In a recent survey, over 40% (41.3%) of respondents who earn less than £20,000 per year admitted to spending over £30 on an average gift for family and friends. Yet only a quarter (25.6%) of those who earn between £21,000 and £40,000 will spend over £30 per gift.

And it seems the more you earn the less generous you become, with less than a quarter (23%) of respondents who earn between £41,000 and £60,000 admitting to spending over £30 each on gifts for friends and family.

It's only when earnings rise above £60,000 that generosity starts to increase again - but only just - with 42.5% of respondents admitting to spending over £30 per gift for friends and family. Yet, as expected, this sector did see the biggest overall spenders with £17.5% anticipating that they will spend over £50 on an average gift for their friends or family.
