Men out shopping Women!

Its offical! Men are spending more shopping than women do, or at least on line they do!

Recent research by Paypal has shown that men are out spending women online in most categories

In Travel men spend £992 against women's £884,

Financial services £897 against £616

White goods such as fridge freezers and washing machines £627 against £339.

Paypal say that men have turned to the internet to search for bargains. "We love the quick and efficient nature of the internet, especially when it comes to buying technology and gadgets," said Carl Scheible, Paypal UK's managing director

However there are still 2 areas where women are spending more - clothes and food!

However as a soft toy wholesaler I would like to add another category where I am sure that women outspend men and thats baby toys and teddies!

If I had a nursery shop I would still want to be targeting it at women although given that men's spending on the internet is set to increase faster than women's perhaps some wizzy technology would work its way on to the front page
