Funky Pigeon analysed data of gifts volume by UK cities and names before ranking the data in this handy tool - perfect for a competitive dinner table game this Christmas.
The study concluded that London was the second least generous city in the UK, sending just eight Christmas Cards per every 1,000 people in the city. At the opposite end of this scale - and ranking as the most generous city in the UK - is Walsall, with the region sending 111 Christmas cards sent for every 1,000 residents. Doncaster, Wigan, Barnsley and Stockport make up the rest of the top five by handing out 81, 82, 84, 92 cards per 1,000 people respectively.
