January babies really get the short end of the stick. Not only are they born into generally crappy weather (unless they live in the southern hemisphere, in which case it’s mid-summer), but they get way fewer birthday presents than people born in other months. Christmas is a major deal for those who celebrate it, and if you have a big family or friend group, chances are you spend a fair bit of money on presents to give out on December 25. Because of that, there isn’t a lot of money left over for those January birthdays. While money isn’t everything and it’s the thought that matters more than the cost of a gift, it’s fair to say that January babies don’t just get fewer presents than those born at other times of the year but the value of those gifts are way less. According to financial comparison site money.co.uk, January babies end up getting £1,120.11 (about $1460) less over their lifetime. The average UK adult spends £392 ($512) a year on birthday gifts for the various people in their lives, but those surveyed have admitted that they spend 34% less on the people who had birthdays in January.
