More than a third of Northern Ireland shoppers say they are adjusting their Christmas plans by shopping with charity retailers as a result of the rising cost of living.
According to a new British Heart Foundation (BHF) survey, 37 per cent of people said they will change their plans to buy from charity shops this festive season due to the cost of living crisis.
The survey of 2,010 people, conducted by Censuswide, found that Christmas cards (34 per cent) and books (30 per cent) were among the top of the list of gifts shoppers intended to buy in Northern Ireland.
