If you did not get enough shopping in the run-up to Christmas or Hanukkah, fear not, Monday is coming.
Major retailers and smaller shops alike are opening early on Dec. 26, offering customer support in exchanging gifts, and offering plenty of deals for those who received cash or gift cards for the holiday.
According to a survey by the National Retail Federation:
- Women are more likely to have wanted gift cards as presents – 69 percent vs. 53 percent.
- Department store gift cards are the second most gifted cards for the holidays. Restaurant cards top the list.
- More than two-thirds plan to shop after-Christmas sales, either online or in stores, up slightly from last year.
- Millennials are the most likely to do so, with approximately eight in 10 planning on it.
