Christmas is right around the corner, and we’re sure you’re as excited as we are.
Expect, for some people, Christmas doesn’t only mean a time of joy.
This time of year can actually be an extremely stressful, worrying time for a lot of people.
The pressures of buying the newest festive foods, getting presents for everyone they know, and having an even better festive period than the last can weigh heavily on people’s mental health and their finances, too.
In this blog, we’re taking a look at some research around how Brits are planning their spending this Christmas, and offering some budget-friendly gift options to help you enjoy your Christmas with as little stress as possible!
2024 Christmas Budgets
Christmas budgets for many will look different this year, and that’s to be expected following the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis that we’re still very much feeling the effects of.
Whilst this Christmas may look better than last for some people, according to retailweek.com, 24 million households in the UK are classed as ‘recovering residences’ this year.
This means these households will still be facing struggles following these huge events, and for them, Christmas only brings about more stress and worry.
Plus, research done by GoCompare found that financial worries are going to have an impact on how Brits plan their 2024 festive periods.
35% say that they’ve made the hard decision to cut their Christmas budget this year, with nearly 1 in 10 planning to spend money they simply don’t have.
On average, people will spend a third less on Christmas this year, and as Forbes reports, research by Clearpay found that 58% of Brits planned to shop on Black Friday and Cyber Money to find more cost-effective gifts.
*For anyone worried about their finances this Christmas, GoCompare’s money spokesperson Matt Sanders offers advice in this article.
Whilst these two times are great for saving money, they shouldn’t be the only opportunities to get money-saving deals and incredible products together.
