Families with Children Are the Most Active
The survey shows a strong variation related to family situation. Nearly half of families with children declared they had sold or passed on a Christmas gift.
According to FINN Torget data, it is families with children who are the most active on the second-hand market after Christmas. This is linked to the changing needs of children, especially regarding clothes, toys, and equipment used by the youngest.
