With only two weeks left until Christmas, 33% of Americans nationwide still haven’t begun their holiday shopping yet. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows that 22% have already finished leaving nearly half somewhere in the middle.

Nine percent (9%) began their shopping within the last week and 11% finished.

Not surprisingly, men have procrastinated more than women—38% of men have not yet bought their first gift along with 28% of women..

Only 12% say they’ll spend more on gifts this year than last while 62% plan to spend less.

More women under 40 (18%) are likely to spend more this year than women over 40 (8%). There is little generational difference among men.

A separate survey conducted earlier this month showed that 66% are buying gifts for fewer people this year to concentrate on their families.

When adults are shopping for their loved ones, most are buying specific gifts (62%) rather than to gift cards (12%).

Today, 48% find holiday shopping is a fun experience, but 34% think it’s an unpleasant chore. That’s an improvement over last week. Women (53%) find shopping much more enjoyable than men (41%).
