The same can be said only about <strong>1 European every 10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, in the Old Continent the <strong>British<\/strong> spend the most. Follow them the Germans, the French, and the Italians.<\/p>\n<p>Even though so many presents are bought every year, a good amount of them gets <strong>brought back<\/strong> to the stores.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it is not strange to buy already owned things or to fail that difficult game that it is to guess someone&#8217;s <strong>desires<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the <strong>kids<\/strong> are the more demanding and their parents spend the most in order to make them happy.<\/p>\n<p>The adults are interested in <strong>luxury brands<\/strong>, a market that keeps growing every year, no matter the crisis.<\/p>\n<h2>Time to change our Christmas ways<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13576 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mozartcultures.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/recycle-reuse-recycling-recyclable.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;re-use&quot; bag.\" width=\"910\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mozartcultures.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/recycle-reuse-recycling-recyclable.jpg 910w, https:\/\/mozartcultures.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/recycle-reuse-recycling-recyclable-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mozartcultures.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/recycle-reuse-recycling-recyclable-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 910px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 910\/683;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Times change and we should adopt new, more <strong>sustainable ways<\/strong> to enjoy holidays in a positive way for both our finances and our planet.<\/p>\n<p>Check the things in your house: how much stuff that you own could make someone else happy but not you?<\/p>\n<p>This is to say that you can gift <strong>used items<\/strong> instead of disposing of them if they&#8217;re in a good state, giving them a new life and letting you <strong>save money<\/strong> at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly don&#8217;t forget that you can <strong>recycle<\/strong> the <strong>packages<\/strong> many times.
