31% of Americans Have Shopped on Christmas Eve for Last-Minute Gifts

hhgregg has the deals to get procrastinators through the holidays

Black Friday has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean holiday shopping is in the bag. In fact, leading appliances, electronics and furniture retailer hhgregg (NYSE: HGG) launched its second annual holiday shopping survey1 to uncover the truth about holiday spending habits and found that nearly one in 10 (nine percent) Americans put off even starting their shopping list until the final week. Even more last minute? One in three (32 percent) say they sometimes or often shop on Christmas Eve.

“We know our customers are shopping throughout the month of December, so the deals don’t stop after Black Friday,” said Dennis May, CEO of hhgregg. “We’re here to help customers continue to cross the hottest holiday gift items off their lists, up until the very last minute if that’s the case.”

So what are Americans looking for this holiday season? Among the survey findings:

It’s a 4K Holiday. A third of Americans (34 percent) say they would be most excited to receive a 4K Ultra HD TV, while more than a quarter (29 percent) say they would be most excited to receive a tablet or laptop.

Mutually Beneficial Gifts for Relationships. Three in five Americans (59 percent) in a relationship would rather purchase upgrades for their home than exchange individual gifts. Maybe that’s because over one in four (27 percent) say their significant other is the hardest to shop for.

This or That? Three in five (62 percent) Americans would rather have a 4K Ultra HD TV than a new stainless steel refrigerator.

It’s a Wonderful Life. Of classic holiday movies, a third of Americans (33 percent) would choose to watch ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ on a new 4K Ultra HD TV, followed closely by a quarter (28 percent) who’d watch ‘Home Alone’.

Taking these survey findings into consideration, hhgregg is offering procrastinators some of the best deals and gifts of the season for the final shopping push December 20-24, 2015.
