"How much money is lost in gift cards each year? How often are gifts regifted, returned or left unopened? Whose gifts are valued the most? Group payment system WePay has put together the infographic above to illustrate the answer to those and several other questions pertaining to holiday gift-giving.\nAmong the more interesting findings:\n\nNearly $1.3 billion will evaporate in unspent gift cards this year, simply because people won't make the time to spend them. Another $1 billion will be lost in forgotten gift cards.\nEvery year, at least one gift per person is regifted, returned or left unopened.\nOn average, recipients value the gifts they receive 18% less than their actual (retail) worth.\n\nAs WePay suggests, it's perhaps a little wiser to spend more on gifts for yourself this holiday season than for your family and friends.\nLead image courtesy of Flickr, flashfire."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
