Did you know that in 2020 the average consumer spent $850 on Christmas gifts? If you're earning the average women's salary of around $36000 per year, that's more than 2% of your annual salary on gifts for the Christmas season.
For Ashley, this brings up feelings of guilt and obligation around gifting during the Christmas season. And she's alongside Sumi to unpack these feelings and explore ways in which women can rewrite the gifting rules this Christmas.
There's practical advice on what to give children, when to make something yourself, and how to become more savvy with your finances when it comes to gift-buying over the festive season. Ashley and Sumi agree to disagree about Secret Santa, proving that everyone has their own unique approach to gifting at Christmas. And with this episode to listen to, you'll be sure to make smarter gifting purchases going forward!
