"Most often, customers pay attention to design, price, and quality when choosing Christmas tree toys. A little less often, the choice of a particular toy depends on the color scheme, material, or theme. As a rule, the brand or the country of origin does not play a role in the selection, rather they choose for originality," said Anastasia Borisova, head of the NSPK Marketing Research Center.

At the same time, 24% of Russians use only modern toys for decoration, 3% choose non-standard decorations, and 9% do not decorate the Christmas tree at all. Among those who prefer 20th—century toys, the majority (86%) inherited them, 6% purchased them in vintage specialty stores, and 13% in regular stores; another 8% received jewelry as a gift.
