Interestingly, nearly 60% (59.6%) feel hesitant to use convenient 'e-gifts.' - **Aspiration and Hurdles for Furniture Gifts:** While seen as 'stylish and special,' about 60% of respondents worry if it will 'fit the recipient's room size' (135 votes) or 'interfere with the interior' (134 votes). - **Expectations for Solutions:** Approximately 80% (79.5%) expressed interest in using a furniture gift service that allows recipients to freely choose and order sizes in 1cm units.

### Detailed Insights

**Topic 01: Is Gifting a Test of Style?** Combined 'Often' (42.2%) and 'Sometimes' (39.1%) responses reached 81.3%, showing that the fear of a mismatch in taste makes gifting a psychological burden for many.

**Topic 02: Over 70% Experience Panic in Preparation** 72.9% reported feeling rushed. The most common reason was 'unable to find time to visit stores' (108 votes). Regarding e-gifts, many feel they 'lack emotional warmth' or 'look too simple,' which remains a barrier to adoption.
