2020 has been a year like no other. In an effort to better understand how shoppers are preparing for the holidays this season and reacting to the impact of the Coronavirus, we asked women in our community to share their thoughts and experiences.

Thank you to the more than 1,400 women who completed the survey. Here's what you had to say...
 

Half of all shoppers feel good about their personal/family finances. Approximately one-third are very/somewhat concerned.

 

 

There's a big change in planned holiday spending in 2020. 21% more people say they will spend less this year vs. last year.



Shoppers are concerned about the overall economy.

Holiday purchases are more likely to be bought online this year and will start earlier than last year, with 48% likely to start before Thanksgiving. Gift cards top shoppers wish list, followed by clothing/accessories.

*The SheSpeaks Holiday Survey 2020 was fielded online September 7-11, 2020. 1,433 respondents completed the survey.

    i will be shopping mainly online. I do  not feel comfortable shopping in the stores with all of the crowds. There is new data on corvid that states even if you are 12 feet from someone if you spend more than 15 minutes in their presence, be it 6 or 12 feet you can still get the virus. I  may shop a few stores but it will be when the crowds are not as bad. I do wear a mask and gloves when I do go to any store. I have not been shopping in stores, only going to the grocery store about once a week. If I get sick, there is no one to help me or take care of me or my dogs. i will be buying only the things that I realy need, not wants. I need a new lawnmower, air purifier, and some dog food. I would like some of the footsie socks with rubber on the bottom and some new slippers. I do new a new landline phone and answering machine, cell phone case and not much else.

    It will be very different! I will do 90% of my shopping online instead, due to everything going on these days.
    Also I probably will also have less people to buy for because less people will be invited, and also less people will come.
    so that will make it a little easier. 
    But it's still such a stressful time of year for money. Trying to make sure that you have enough gifts for everyone. 
    and especially my 16 year old son is always wanting expensive items lately 😬
    But overall I love Christmas! 🎄

    This year I'm not going through all the hoopla of shopping online nor off line. Gift cards all around. With money being tight, this is the best solution for me anyway.

    Very different this year - much too unsafe to do much entertaining and traveling.
