It became known how many residents of Karelia are willing to spend on New Year gifts

According to the survey of services “Avito Goods”, conducted in November 2026, on average, Russians plan to spend on New Year gifts 11 thousand rubles. The study involved 10,000 people. Of course, the population in our country is much more, but the trend is obvious: to give gifts for us traditionally and the question "give or not?" is not worth it, it is important to spend the money allocated for the gift wisely and profitably.

Among the popular gifts that plan to give most often are sweets, cosmetics, gift cards, tea and coffee sets, but the anti-rating also included very traditional gifts: socks, stationery, board games and, oddly enough, aromatic candles and diffusers for the house.

New Year is a family holiday, so it is quite appropriate to choose a gift “in the interior”. But we do not always know what is suitable and if there are no ideas at all, then you can give a certificate to some home goods store. There are so many of them, everyone has gift cards. It is convenient to give food baskets: it will definitely come in handy during long holidays. But there are also universal gifts that will surely please loved ones and please for real.

For example, such universal gifts can be attributed plaid: it is always useful, on sale there are different in price and quality, you can choose to your taste and wallet. The advice is simple: if you do not know exactly what color is suitable, it is better to choose neutral and monochromatic: warm gray, beige or white. So that such a color does not look boring, pay attention to the texture and volume: lush blankets of large mating look more advantageous or there are still poncho blankets on sale (with buttons on the edge, you can throw on yourself) or a multifunctional blanket - this is the same in fact a blanket, but more practical in terms of application. Such a gift will not leave indifferent those who love coziness and comfort. Also, such a product is perfect for lovers of cottages: on cool days over a cup of tea, throwing this plaid on your shoulders, you will be remembered with the warmest words. If the budget allows you to choose a plaid from delicate alpaca and or wool, and if it is issued in a box with a bow, it will be not only valuable, but also a very aesthetic gift.

A great idea for a designer gift is a portable lamp. It is better to choose those that are charged from the usb cable, they are light, portable and useful in any situation: at home on the table at dinner can replace candles, at night serve as a night light, so as not to turn on bright light, the child will also be useful as a night light. Portable lamp is not replaceable in the country: you can put in the place where you want today - because the plus of such a device is that you do not need a socket or batteries, the main thing is to charge in time. If we talk about design, there are a huge number of variations and colors: there are both delicate translucent and classic black or white, there are many children's variations.

Be careful with gifts for the kitchen. Here the principle is simple: if you know what you need to the one you give, then safely buy. And if there are doubts, it is better to choose a proven option: for example, spice sets (salt and pepper) in automatic laconic designs. First, such “milk” use almost everything, but a variation of electric pepper is certainly not everyone. It's practical and unusual. Also, the original design gift for practical housewives can be beautiful storage tanks: they are usually universal design. It is better to choose glass, necessarily with a lid. In such containers you can store anything: from marmalades to herring.

Gifts can be different, there is still time to prepare for the holidays, you should not leave all purchases for the last day, or then hateful socks or something more unnecessary will inevitably appear in the holiday bag. And of course, it is important to remember the old Russian proverb “A gift is not dear, love is dear.”.
