Offenbach - It's that time again:

Christmas

is just around the corner.

Despite the Corona * crisis, millions of Germans will buy tons of

Christmas gifts

in 2020

- online retail in particular is booming during the pandemic.

But which

gifts

are particularly popular?

The online portal “vergleich.org ”has evaluated the most widely read product comparisons in the Advent season and shows which products are popular with consumers before

Christmas

.

First of all: Electronics are still extremely popular, many technology

gifts

will probably be under the Christmas tree.

Gift ideas 2020: These products are very popular before Christmas

The

IPL device made it to

fifth place before

Christmas

.

Numerous women and men are tired of using razors or epilators all the time, but many do not want to do without smooth skin.

IPL devices provide a remedy here.

The manufacturers promise buyers permanent hair removal with the help of light pulses - this can save a lot of work in the future.

Due to the heat generated, the hair roots become deserted and hair regrowth is prevented.

Consumers should

however pay attention to important information

with this possible

Christmas present

.

If the hair is light blonde, white or gray, an IPL device hardly works.

The hair removers achieve the best results on people with fair skin and naturally dark hair.

Attention: The warning and usage instructions must be strictly observed.

If the IPL device is used too frequently and improperly, the light pulses may be overdosed: Burns are the result.

Gift ideas for Christmas: Many consumers miss a quick pick-me-up in the home office

In fourth place of the most clicked comparisons before

Christmas

is the fully automatic coffee machine.

Logical: Normally the coffee machine is in the office, one push of a button is enough and numerous specialties can be brewed - from cappuccino to espresso.

But in the Corona crisis, many work from home.

However, many people cannot do without the quick wake-up call in the morning.

A fully automatic coffee machine is a

gift

.

The prices of the popular

Christmas gifts

fluctuate greatly.

Inexpensive entry-level models start at 250 euros, fans should expect a model with subtleties and many functions at 350 to 650 euros.

But there is no upper limit: The coffee machines can quickly cost well over 1000 euros.

Christmas 2020: razors are indispensable for men and a great gift idea

When grooming a beard, a good men's razor is part of a morning ritual.

The razor therefore ranks third.

The question of all questions is basically: Should men with sensitive skin shave wet or dry?

Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

However, it is undisputed that a good razor is part of the basic equipment for almost all men -

an electric razor is always suitable

as a

Christmas present

.

That moment when you realize that Christmas will be in 14 days and you:



- have no presents,


- have no cookies and


- the tree is still missing.

Important to note: The razor should be waterproof so that it can be used for wet shaving as well as dry shaving.

So that the shave with the brand new

gift

does not end too quickly and suddenly, the battery life should be at least 60 minutes.

Christmas gifts 2020: how about a cordless vacuum cleaner?

The second-highest place on the podium before

Christmas is

occupied by the cordless vacuum cleaner.

A clear advantage over conventional corded vacuum cleaners: convenience.

They are small, space-saving, manoeuvrable and the suction power can also convince with many models.

But at some point they run out of juice.

Cable vacuum cleaners, on the other hand, run as long as they are plugged into the socket.

However, not all cordless vacuum cleaners are the same.

The two common types of table vacuum cleaners and handheld vacuum cleaners are suitable for different areas of application.

The table vacuum cleaner is for smaller areas (tables, sofa, other furniture) where you want to quickly clean up a small amount of dirt.

A hand vacuum cleaner, on the other hand, is for larger house cleaning.

2-in-1 models that have both functions are particularly versatile.

With these innovative devices, the small table vacuum cleaner can be disconnected from the handheld vacuum cleaner.

Gift ideas for Christmas: The top spot goes to a small household robot

Why do the housework yourself at all?

Many consumers seem

to think so

before

Christmas

.

Number one of the most viewed product comparisons in December: the robot vacuum cleaner.

The small, autonomous vacuum cleaners move independently - and without plaintive words - through the living space.

A great

gift

for all grouches who still like it nice and clean in their own four walls during contact restrictions, lockdown and Co.

Important to know: The devices cannot completely replace the conventional cylinder vacuum cleaner.

The robots do not get into the farthest corners of rooms.

In addition, they should only be used in rooms in which they can maneuver well.

As a

Christmas present

, the little helpers are apparently still very popular this year.

In summary - These

gifts

are to

Christmas

probably very common under the decorated fir tree:

1st place

Robot vacuum cleaner

2nd place

Cordless vacuum cleaner

3rd place

Razor

4th Place

Coffee machines

5th place

IPL devices (hair removers)

6th place

Vibrating plates

7th place

Sonic toothbrushes

8th place

Electric toothbrushes

9th place

Vacuum mopping robot

10th place

Christmas in the corona crisis: online trading is booming

Overall, the Corona year 2020 brought good business to the electronics trade in Germany.

The industry this year with sales of 63.6 billion euros - also thanks to the

gifts

purchases before

Christmas

.

That means an increase of 1.6 percent compared to the previous year, said the managing director of the trade association for technology (BVT), Steffen Kahnt, of the German press agency in November.

"Two lockdowns and home office ensure that Germans invest their vacation pay within their own four walls," said Kahnt, describing the effects of the pandemic on the industry.

From laptops to large televisions, from fully automatic coffee machines to vacuum cleaner robots: everything that makes life and work at home more pleasant is bought.

In contrast, there were substantial losses in the business with cameras and cameras.

Since vacations were often canceled, there were fewer buying incentives here.
