82% of respondents said they would give gifts for the New Year, up 6% from the previous year. Among men, the percentage of those who plan to donate something is lower: 78% compared to 87% among women.

Moscow will be the country that will spend the most on gifts: an average of 18 thousand rubles. Among the three cities with more than a million inhabitants in terms of vacation budget are also Krasnoyarsk (17.2 thousand) and Rostov-on-Don (16.5 thousand).
In most cases, survey participants admitted that they would give something to their family (72%), their partner (36%), their friends (23%) and themselves (17%). The proportion of respondents planning gifts for colleagues increased 6% over the year, from 8% to 14%.
