Other key differences between the generations this holiday season include re-gifting and exchanging gifts. Gen X is more likely to re-gift both gifts and gift cards, while Gen Y is more likely than other generations to exchange gifts for something they would rather have.
Regardless of age, Americans still prefer personally selected gifts over gift cards and the majority would rather give than receive. Click here for complimentary report with full lists.

Majority of Americans Do Not Make New Year’s Resolutions According to National Survey
Of U.S. Adults Who Do Make Resolutions, 60 Percent Already Know They Will Break Them Before They Make Them
GLENDALE, Calif., Jan. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – At the beginning of every new year, we always hear about people making New Year’s resolutions. But surprising findings reveal a majority of American adults don’t actually make them! According to a recent national survey* sponsored by Nestle® Raisinets®, less than one-third (32%) of American adults will make New Year’s resolutions in 2012. Moreover, of those who will, 60% already know they will break them at some point in the new year.
Regardless of whether or not Americans make resolutions, health is still top of mind for the new year. According to survey results, a whopping three-fourths (75%) of American adults are planning to lose weight in 2012. But some interesting findings are revealed about the ways American adults prefer to lose weight.
- Americans Want To Kick Up The Cardio: When asked about the optimal way to lose weight in 2012, among those who plan to do so, “kick up the cardio” (i.e. increasing cardio exercise) led the pack with 33%.
- Eating smaller portions came in second at 30%.
- Choosing “healthy” over “hearty” finished third with 28%.
- Americans Prefer to Lose Weight Solo: Americans who plan to lose weight in 2012, plan to do so without a partner. Only 6% of those surveyed said their optimal way to lose weight would be partnering with a friend. Even more surprising, of those who plan to partner with a friend, respondents who are single and have never married (10%) were twice as likely to partner with a friend vs. their married (5%) counterparts!
- Age Matters: Optimal ways to lose weight vary by age.
- American adults age 55+ who plan to lose weight in 2012 (41%) were twice as likely to choose “eating smaller portions” than 18-34 year-olds (20%).
- And those 18-34 year-old (39%) were nearly twice as likely to “kick up the cardio” as their optimal way to lose weight, and six times as likely to partner with a friend as those 55+ (23%).
Lastly “Deprive Myself and Hope for the Best” was the least popular choice among Americans who plan to lose weight in 2012. With only 3% choosing deprivation as the optimal way to lose weight, Americans are getting smarter about shedding those extra pounds.
“It’s great to know that Americans are continuing to educate themselves about healthy food choices, but we all know deprivation equals diet disaster,” said Tricia Bowles, Nestle Confections & Snacks. “Indulgent treats are part of the joy of eating and Raisinets is a great choice with plump California raisins covered in milk and dark chocolate. The perfectly balanced treat for guilt-free snacking in the New Year!”
Nestle Raisinets provide real fruit in each serving and are a natural source of fruit antioxidants. With 30% less fat than the other leading chocolate brands, Raisinets can be enjoyed as a delicious treat straight out of the package or as an excellent addition to your favorite recipes.

* The Nestle Raisinets New Year Health Survey was conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of Nestle from December 6th-8th, 2011 to a nationally representative sample of 2,246 American adults aged 18+.
