It’s a confession most people are reluctant to make, but 61% of women and 44% of men admit they reuse gift wrap. A Scotch Tape survey on gift wrapping habits asked participants questions about who does the wrapping in their household, and who does it best. Some of the results:
-
71% of gift wrappers do the wrapping
themselves – usually in the week before giving the present. One in five
say they put gifts in bags, and 3% say they have gifts wrapped at the
store.
-
71% of respondents say women are superior
wrappers, based on the appearance of the finished product. And 74% say
the woman of the household bears the majority of the wrapping
responsibility – just 19% of households say the man of the house does
the wrapping.
-
When asked what they would be willing to
do for their significant other to get out of wrapping responsibilities,
33% of men say they would buy them an extra gift, 18% said watch the
latest chick flick, and 9% said they would take out the trash for a
week. But half of all women say, “It wouldn’t matter, because they would
never agree to it.”
