Buying a Christmas hamper could allow consumers to dodge the shops Published on 14/12/2011
Those wanting to minimise the hassle of shopping for gifts in the run-up to December 25th might find they are able to do so by picking up a Christmas hamper for their loved ones. An increasing number of Britons may find this a preferable option to hitting the high street, both in terms of the recipient's happiness with the gift and the simplicity of purchasing it, as an Ofcom report has highlighted the popularity of e-commerce. Entitled the International Communications Market report it found that 79 per cent of web users in the UK purchased goods or services online in 2010, in comparison to just 27 per cent who claimed to have done so in Italy. A Christmas hamper could also be an affordable choice, something that may prove key for many as recent findings from Gocompare.com indicated that 30 per cent of people plan to reduce the number of gifts they buy to save money.
