Regifting Trends Across the U.S."},"content":{"rendered":"\n
\u2018Tis the season of\u2026Christmas hand-me-downs? We\u2019ve all found ourselves in a gift exchange situation that left us feeling more \u201cho ho\u2026oh?\u201d than \u201cho ho ho!\u201d Whether it\u2019s socks, appliances, or questionable knick-knacks, sugarcoating a polite \u2018thank you\u2019 would be the mature response. Or so we thought! With almost<\/strong> half of Americans resorting to regifting<\/strong>, we needed to find out why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get in the holly jolly spirit, we decided to deck the halls with nationwide data and find out which states are the \u2018naughtiest\u2019 and \u2018nicest\u2019 when it comes to Christmas regifting. We conducted a survey to unwrap Americans\u2019 habits when it comes to passing on presents, to reveal which states will land on Santa\u2019s Naughty or Nice List this year. We used the following criteria to determine each state\u2019s score: who\u2019s held onto the less-than-thrilling presents, who\u2019s regifted, tossed, or sold unwanted presents, and who\u2019s accidentally regifted a present to the original giver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
