Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack.
Speaker A:Even if you love holiday shopping, we've all got that one person that's hard to shop for.
Speaker A:And for most of us, it's Grandpa, right?
Speaker A:There's a new poll online.
Speaker A:Said, how easy or difficult do you think it is for other people to pick out gifts for you?
Speaker A:Now, the total results.
Speaker A:20% said very easy, 38% said relatively easy, 21% said kind of difficult.
Speaker A:And 9% admitted that it is very hard to shop for them for presents.
Speaker A:But if you break it down by demographics, yeah, it's men over the age of 65 that are consistently the hardest to shop for.
Speaker A:Southern millennial women are apparently the easiest to shop for.
Speaker A:And then they asked people, how good or bad do you think you are at picking out gifts for other people?
Speaker A:20% said good.
Speaker A:About half said kind of good.
Speaker A:16% said, meh, kind of bad.
Speaker A:7% said very bad.
Speaker A:And no big shock here.
Speaker A:Grandpa's most likely to admit they're terrible at getting gifts.
Speaker A:Another survey.
Speaker A:Grandpa's also the worst at wrapping presents.
Speaker A:So you know, if you're going to have to get a gift for Grandpa, the best thing to do is get him to get it for himself, but then you have to help him wrap it.
Speaker A:Overall, 61% of people said they're at least decent at wrapping presents.
Speaker A:But regardless of what generation you're going to give a gift to, what generation your recipient belongs to, you will know that you have absolutely failed as a gift giver.
Speaker A:If you recognize anything from today's list of the ways to know someone hates the Christmas gift you gave them.
Speaker B:Well, gather round, folks.
Speaker B:It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a lighthearted way.
Speaker B:Tuning for the giggles.
Speaker B:And let's kick back.
Speaker B:Here comes the fun.
Speaker B:It's the morning six pack.
Speaker A:One more time.
Speaker A:These are the top six ways to know someone hates the gift you gave them.
Speaker A:Coming in at number six, they say, oh, you shouldn't have, and then add, seriously, you shouldn't have.
Speaker A:Number five, they toss it in a box labeled Goodwill.
Speaker A:Number four, they roll their eyes and huff, kind of like your teenager does to everything in life.
Speaker A:Number three, they shake it to see if any money falls out.
Speaker A:Number two, you see a homeless person and they're wearing it the next day.
Speaker A:And the number one sign that someone hates the Christmas gift you gave them, your gift is from TJ Maxx.
Speaker A:And no, it's just.
Speaker A:That's it.
Speaker A:It's just from T.J. maxx.
Speaker A:Chop Walmart.
