What Americans think about giving cash as holiday gifts, according to a new AP-NORC poll
About 60% of Americans consider cash or gift cards very acceptable holiday gifts, with younger adults showing higher acceptance, according to an AP-NORC poll.
- Earlier this month, the AP-NORC poll of 1,146 U.S. adults found about 6 in 10 say cash or gift cards are very acceptable holiday presents.
- Generational differences emerged as about two-thirds of U.S. adults under age 45 call cash very acceptable, compared with 55% of adults age 45 or older, with younger adults also more open to secondhand gifts.
- Survey responses show mixed feelings about gift types, with about 9 in 10 U.S. adults finding cash or gift cards somewhat acceptable and only about 1 in 10 planning Elf on the Shelf.
- Holiday timing habits include 44% of Americans saying they won’t stay up to greet 2026, with about one-third leaving decorations up after New Year’s Day.
- The poll also captured quirky trends, finding about 3 in 10 U.S. adults will give a gift to their pet this year and roughly one-quarter plan to watch sports on Christmas Day.
