Boom, Christmas gifts are being resold more than ever on the Internet due to inflation

For Christmas, on the one hand, there are those who explicitly ask what to give to the person they want to spoil, and on the other, those who prefer to amaze. It is therefore not surprising that, every year, many gifts are returned to shops or resold directly on the Internet.

Inflation disinhibits the resale of Christmas gifts on the Internet

According to France Newsin 2022, seven million French people intend to part with their Christmas presents, or 500,000 more than in 2021.

What explains this sharp increase? Inflationso strong, that we no longer have time to joke with the kindness that would make us pretend to love a gift that we don’t like for a single instant, so we would sell it immediately.

Where to resell your Christmas presents discreetly and efficiently?

If you don’t know how to do it, in a discreet and efficient way, you can always create a different nickname than usual on the most popular second-hand sales platforms. Depop is a hit for clothes offered to teenagers or young adults. Vinted works best for clothes for the whole family, or even home decor, video games or DVDs. And obviously LeBonCoin allows you to sell absolutely everything or almost everything, if you don’t want to multiply the second-hand resale sites. I promise, anything can be redeemed, even the magic of Christmas.
