Billion dollar British birthdaysPosted Mar 18th 2006 2:35PM by Nicole WestonFiled under: British Isles, BusinessOne of the first major studies on the birthday
industry has been done in England. It showed that over £1.6 billion pounds, or approximately $2.8 billion
dollars, are spent annually on birthday celebrations. The average Briton spends about £47.77 pounds on their own
special day and around £30.69 on birthday presents for others. The managing director of the financial firm which
conducted the study suggested that the amount spent reflects the advance planning that events like birthdays receive,
because people now plan months in advance for something that was once simply marked with a cake.
