When you open a gift, whatβs your move? Do you rip into it like it owes you money π₯πβor carefully peel the tape like, βI might need this next yearβ? π
Turns out, a LOT of us fall into that second category.
A poll of 30,000 Americans found that a full 34% save wrapping paper after the gifts are opened.
π¦ 18% actually keep it and reuse it
π¦ 16% save it with good intentionsβ¦ but rarely follow through
So yes β that drawer full of folded paper? Youβre not alone.
And if you think this is strictly a Depression-era grandma habitβ¦ think again. π΅βYounger people are MORE likely to save wrapping paper than seniors.
π Only 25% of seniors save itπ A whopping 44% of people under 30 do
Apparently, Gen Z is very eco-friendlyβ¦ emotionally attachedβ¦ and mildly chaotic. π π±
Women are also a bit more likely to save wrapping paper than men:
π© 38% of women
π¨ 28% of men
So whether youβre doing it to save money, help the planet, or because you canβt throw away a perfectly good snowman patternβ¦ just know youβre in good company.
