Spouses and moms top the list of tough presents to buy, according to a recent survey from Visa: About 83% of Americans expect to spend up to three hours researching, shopping and buying a single gift.
Gender matters: The survey found that about half of the men polled said a spouse or mom would be the most challenging to buy for, compared with only about a quarter (28%) of their female counterparts.
Women, on the other hand, said they struggle more with shopping for kids (22% of women selected a son, daughter or teen, compared with only 8% of men).
