Share of French people having ever resold a Christmas gift 2020, by age group

Barely unwrapped, some unwanted or poorly chosen gifts sometimes end up on online resale platforms as early as December 25th. However, taking a closer look at the profile of these resellers reveals that in 2020, most of them were under 44 years of age. In fact, the generation that used this practice the most were the 25-34 year olds (18 percent). At the time of the survey, only two percent of people in France over the age of 55 had ever resold a Christmas gift offered by their family and friends.

未及拆封，部分不甚适宜或挑选不当的礼品往往在圣诞节的次日即被置于在线二手交易平台上。然而，若细究这些转售者的背景，可以发现，在2020年，其中大部分人的年龄均未满44岁。事实上，最热衷于这种做法的群体为25至34岁的人群（占比18%）。在调查进行之时，仅有2%的法国55岁以上人群曾转售过由家人或朋友赠送的圣诞礼品。
