Gen Z shoppers are 2X more likely to buy holiday gifts this season compared to the average shopper — and 10.5X more likely than Baby Boomers.

In fact, 74% of Gen Z said they plan to reduce their spending in these areas, compared to 59% of all shoppers.
The best place to capture the attention of these generous Gen Z gift-givers will be on social media, where this cohort is 2X more likely to look as they hunt for holiday inspiration and special offers.
