Pet Supplies Plus, the nation's third largest pet retail chain, published the result of a poll about it's shoppers' Christmas gift-giving habits for pets.

It asked its shoppers whether they liked giving gifts to their pets more than they liked gift giving for humans.

• 93% said it's more fun to shop for their pets than human relatives


• 95% said it's easier to find the right gifts for pets, versus humans


• 26% said they spend more on their pets than human relatives


• 78% said they include their pets in their holiday cards

I think that last one means whether or not they're pets "sign their names" on cards.

It kinda goes along with other studies showing that pets provide an element of stress-free relationship for their owners.
