The study by consulting firm Deloitte found that the average Polish consumer plans to fork out PLN 1,521 (EUR 354) on gifts, food and family gatherings this Christmas.
The survey also found that Poles would spend marginally more on gifts than on food, 36% vs. 34% of the total.
A quarter of respondents said they would buy Christmas presents in November, while 38% said they would do so in the first half of December.
The Deloitte study also showed that online stores were likely to claim almost half the money Poles were setting aside for Christmas gifts this year, PAP, the national news agency, added.
