Re-gifting Down? Not For Fruitcake.

Online selling of unwanted gifts is up; so says survey paid for by eBay. But fruitcake remains re-gifted.

The most popular items adults who took the survey said they would re-gift include wine, champagne or spirits (21 percent); trinkets or collectibles (21 percent); beauty or bath products (21 percent); DVDs, CDs or books (16 percent); electronics/appliances (14 percent); and fruitcake (14 percent).

The most popular items adults resell online include personal electronics (12 percent); DVDs, CDs or books (11 percent); home technology (10 percent); event tickets (10 percent); trinkets or collectibles (8 percent); and sporting or fitness equipment (6 percent).

Fruitcake only got a 14% on your list? That must be because the people surveyed have never received one. 65% of those people who have received fruitcake plan to recycle it. Of those who have actually tasted a fruitcake, the number jumps to 95%. Experts agree that the other 5% either like fruitcake, or were lying.
