According to the experts, around 89% of Brits avoid telling the giver they dislike their gift, often pretending they like the present or appreciate the thought behind it.
When it comes to doing something with the unwanted items, nearly a third choose to regift or donate to charity, while others let them gather dust (18%).
They also found that Brits prioritise spending time with friends and family (71%), eating good food (53%) and relaxing and recharging (49%) with gift-giving being lower down the list at 33%.
Rachel Mumford, KAYAK UK Travel Expert, says: “Brits value quality time with family and friends over the Christmas period, so instead of gifting presents that sometimes aren’t quite to taste or are left unused, why not consider a snowy escape or a sunny beach holiday together where you can have good food and relax and recharge whilst making memories?”
