For many of us, Christmas is the happiest, most fun time of the year. Getting together with friends and family, some of whom we don’t get to see as much as we’d like; giving and receiving gifts; overdoing it on food and drink in front of the TV – that’s comfort and joy right there.
But there’s no denying that preparing for Christmas can take up a lot of time as well, which is very nicely illustrated by a new infographic put together by Scoro.

Christmas involves many time-consuming tasks:
- Shopping for food and gifts
- Wrapping presents
- Writing greetings cards
- Decorating
- Visiting with friends and family
- Travel
- Preparing meals
- Cleaning up before and after
So Scoro’s estimate that the average adult spends around 66 hours getting ready for Christmas could be pretty accurate. It might not seem like that long, but remember many people start their plans from November onwards, so the time accumulates over a couple of months. Of course most of that time is spent very enjoyably, but clearly it makes sense to plan ahead.
One interesting statistic that we picked out is that 15% of the time we spend on getting ready for Christmas, or almost 10 hours, is used in choosing and buying gifts. We also spend over four hours just on wrapping. Now what if there was a way to dramatically cut that time, while still ensuring the recipient loves their gift?
You guessed it – this is where Tinggly comes in!
We help you give your friends and family the gift of choice.
When you buy a Tinggly gift for someone, it’s sent to them in the form of a voucher, enclosed in a stylish presentation box. No wrapping necessary unless you want to add your own. You can add a personal message for the recipient through our automated system too.
They then have up to two years to redeem their voucher against 100s of fantastic gift experiences in our collection.
Just browsing the map can provide hours of amusement as people read up on what they can exchange their voucher for, in dozens of countries around the world. For the romantic, there are couples’ sunset sightseeing cruises or spa sessions that are perfect for weekend city breaks. For those with an adventurous spirit, there are scuba diving lessons, bungee jumps and race-car driving experiences, and for those who love nothing more than indulging their palate there are wine-tasting sessions, guided foodie tours and unusual meals in destinations all over the planet.
When you give someone a Tinggly gift, you let them pick out an experience that suits their personal preferences, their holiday plans, or their longheld dreams and ambitions. It’s great for them, and it naturally also saves you a huge amount of time. The purchase process couldn’t be simpler – just select the gift range you want to buy, from Essential, Premium and Ultimate, add the recipient’s details and a personal note, and then make the payment. Within days the gift box will be on its way, meaning that Tinggly experiences are also a great last-minute gift idea!
So, this holiday, take some of the pressure off by giving your friends and family the perfect Christmas experience gift, leaving yourself much more time to enjoy the celebration!
