In Latvia, 49% of respondents re-gift presents they do not like, compared to 42% in Estonia and 40% in Lithuania.
One in ten donates gifts to charity shops, while about 8% of respondents sell them. Approximately the same number of respondents give away unwanted gifts for free, for example, in themed groups on Facebook.
