Millions of thrifty Brits are reselling unwanted Christmas presents on marketplaces like Vinted and eBay to help with the rising cost of living, according to new research from independent parcel carrier Yodel.
The survey of 2,000 people reveals that one in six of us (8.5m people) have already resold, or are planning to resell, a gift they received for Christmas.
The most common reason for reselling a gift is to help with the rising cost of living, accounting for over a quarter (27%) of those putting presents on the market, followed by gifts ‘not being my style’ (24%), being unable to return or exchange a gift (22%), or being bought two of the same thing (18%).
