a About 30% of French consumers will give second-hand items as gifts to stretch out their tight budgets but also to do their little bit for recycling, according to studies,

Concerns about the ecology and the economy have come together and are now seeing people who accept the types of gifts that were not appreciated just a short time ago, studies showed
Second-hand gifts maybe more widely accepted in France because the French are accustomed to garage sales and second-hand stores.
