With the arrival of December, it seems Christmas shopping is now at the forefront of people's minds – unless you're a man.
According to a new survey, carried out by buyagift.com, a number of men do not prioritise gift-buying with one in five men leaving their shopping until Christmas Eve, while 10% admitted they don't even bother to buy their partner a present at all.
A further 5% just opt to giving their other half cash on Christmas morning.
Research has suggested that men will start thinking about their Christmas shopping this week, but only 4% have bought any gifts. Some 35% blame being disorganised as the reason for last-minute panic buying, while 10% say they deliberately leaving their shopping until after the festive holidays so that they can grab a bargain in the sale.
For 40% of men polled, they buy their partner their gift while they are out shopping together.
However, it was revealed that a third of the UK have absolutely no faith in their partners' ability to buy them a gift, while perfume, wine and chocolate are the most popular gifts men buy women at Christmas.
Dan Mountain, CEO of buyagift.com, said: "There is a lot to organise at Christmas and it can be a busy and stressful time of year, but that's no excuse to be a scrooge this December.
"Though it looks like the nation's men are letting the side down, many of us have no faith in our other half's gifting abilities."
The top ten most popular gifts men buy women at Christmas are:
1. Perfume
2. CD/DVD
3. Bottle of wine
4. Smellies
5. Gift vouchers
6. Socks
7. Scarf and glove set
8. A selection box
9. Pyjamas
10. Board game
