Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.One in five people plan to sell unwanted Christmas presents online, with jumpers, shirts, CDs and books topping the list, according to new research.
A study of 7,000 adults by magazine subscriptions website magazinesbymail.net showed that people in the West Midlands were most likely to sell unwanted gifts online, while those in Scotland were least likely.
Younger people sold most items via the internet, while over 55-year-olds were least likely to dispose of presents in this way, the study found.
Nicola Rowe of magazinesbymail.net said: "Sadly not all gifts were gratefully received this Christmas, with many of us now heading to our PCs to place unwanted Christmas presents on online auction sites, rather than leaving them to gather dust at the back of a cupboard.
"From CDs and DVDs that don't fit people's musical tastes, to vases that just don't match the decor, millions of gifts are already being repackaged for sale online."
