Despite wanting equality with men, women are failing to keep up with men on the Christmas gift buying front.

research from savings provider ING Direct showed that wives and girlfriends get the most expensive Christmas presents, while people spend the least on their grandfathers. The survey showed that girlfriends can expect to have £162 spent on them this Christmas, while wives will receive gifts worth £151.

So girls, you lose out when you get married, but men are always losing out, from the same article

This compares with the £122 and £109 people will spend on their boyfriends and husbands respectively.

Or are they just being more 'efficient' with their money?
