A quarter of men will still be hunting for presents in the last shopping hour on Christmas Eve
A quarter of British men will still be shopping for presents as shops are preparing to close on Christmas Eve, the latest research reveals, as the nation prepares for a last minute dash to the shops this weekend.
The study from Showcase Cinemas revealed a huge 25% of men will head to the high street on Sunday around 4pm compared to just 13% of women; who typically buy their gifts ahead of time. According to the research, partners (30%) are the most difficult loved 1 to buy for followed by dads (20%), mums (18%) and siblings (12%). Elsewhere, the nationwide poll of Brits found out that 23% of people buy loved ones presents that are actually for themselves, with the same number admitting they are more tempted to purchase a gift that they’ll benefit from too. Elsewhere, vouchers and gift cards (46%) were revealed as the perfect Christmas present. This comes as Showcase Cinemas launches its Christmas gift card offer. When a £25 gift card is purchased, the buyer will receive a bonus £5 voucher to use for themselves for free. Jon Dixon, UK Marketing Director at Showcase Cinemas, said:- "Christmas is renowned for being the most wonderful time of the year, but there’s no doubt we all experience the stresses of last minute shopping as we get nearer to the big day. We’re hoping our gift cards can help take away some of those stresses and provide the perfect gift for film lovers and cinemagoers across the nation, while also allowing the buyer to bag a cheeky bonus for themselves. What could be better than giving the gift of film (and tasty cinema snacks) this Christmas?!" To purchase a Showcase Cinemas gift card, and earn yourself £5 for every £25 gift card purchased, head to your local cinema’s box office or visit the website. Also, if you are in Southport, and stuck for a Christmas Card or some added Xmas gifts, you can get that extra item from the greeting card shop, Paperbox, that located on:- Chapel Sreet, Southport, PR81AE.
