While it may not seem like the most romantic option, the useful gift of money is the most desired Christmas present in the United States this year.
According to the latest data from Statista’s Global Consumer Survey (Christmas and Holiday Season: U.S.), when asked which gifts U.S. adults would personally most like to receive this year, 36% of men and 46% of women said cash or bank transfers.
For both groups, vouchers came in second position, followed by clothing, textiles or shoes in third. Respondents could choose multiple options in the poll.
When looking at a breakdown of the data for males and females, however, while there is a fair bit of overlap, some slight differences do emerge.
As our chart shows, smartphones, tablets and accessories were a fairly popular choice for both men and women, being selected by 22% and 23% of the groups, respectively. Women showed slightly more interest in travel-related gifts (19% versus men at 14%) as well as event tickets (19% versus men at 12%). Out of the polled options, ‘decoration articles’ were among the lowest scoring gifts, only desired by 7% of female respondents and 6% of men.
The staff of Advanced Rehabilitation will conduct a hamburger lunch fundraiser to assist one of its staff members whose child is undergoing serious medical issues.
From noon to sell-out on July 19 hamburgers will be prepared in the front lobby of the home. The goal is to sell 100 burgers with a $10 meal deal of a burger, chips and a drink.
Call Cynthia at 940-366-4960 for pre-orders or Tiffany for delivery at 940-255-0402.
The fundraiser is for Tori Mullins, whose daughter, Bryleigh Gresham, age three, has been undergoing treatment for leukemia at Cook Children’s Medical Center. Tori has had to be off work to travel to Cook’s for the treatments.
