Pew Research Center Report: This report is based on interview with 3,493 American adults; of whom 2,038 were internet users. The study found that 24% of Internet users purchased gifts online, but 53% sent emails with holiday messages and 32% sent e-cards. From the responses to these and other questions, the researchers identified 12 trends in the use of the Internet, particularly related to finding information about products and making purchases.
