Beyond the love and affection that one wants to convey with a Christmas gift, in the United States, it is customary to give unusual and humorous gifts.
Diario NY reported that the Duck survey, conducted with 1,000 Americans, revealed that Christmas cards are among the most popular Christmas gifts in the United States, with a 71% preference. Following this, Americans also enjoy giving snacks such as dried fruits and candies, as well as personal care items like lip balm and makeup.
At least 18% of people choose to give weird gifts as a joke and leave in Christmas stockings or boots gifts like coal, cans of sardines, slime, olives, and toilet paper.
Above all the mentioned gifts, what people most desire to receive are practical gifts, something that is useful to them, whether at home or in the office.
According to the mentioned source, Ashley Luke, product manager at Shurtape Technologies, LLC, the company that markets the Duck brand, stated that "dropping extravagant gifts into Christmas stockings can make family and friends laugh, but most (78%) of people prefer to receive a practical or useful gift rather than a rare or funny one".
He stated that "we also found that most people feel that Christmas stocking stuffers are underestimated Christmas gifts, and one of the reasons they appreciate these gifts is that it helps them save money on essential items that they would normally have to buy themselves."
