Are you giving a gift that benefits yourself?

What’s the big Christmas present you’re giving your significant other this year? A giant new TV? Dinner at a fancy restaurant? A trip to Hawaii?

If so, congratulations. Apparently you’re part of this year’s new trend called “boomerang gifts” and you may not even realize you’re doing it.

A boomerang gift is when you give someone a present that also benefits you. Taking someone to a couples spa also benefits you, getting them a sweet new iPad also benefits you, five seasons of “The Wire” also benefits you.

A new survey found it’s becoming more and more popular — to the point where the majority of people are doing it now.

The top boomerang gifts are box sets of TV shows, boxes of chocolate, and movies.
