Are you having trouble finding that perfect Christmas gift for your significant other? Have you stopped and thought to yourself just how much it would cost to shower your "True Love" with all the gifts from the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song? Well fret no more, because it has been calculated and even monitored over the past 36 years!
The PNC Christmas Price Index does all the research to acquire the estimated cost of each gift from all twelve days. Below is the list broken down to each day and the accompanying cost of that day's gift. If you wanted to participate in all twelve days, be ready to fork over a hefty sum of $38,993.59. If that's just not enough to show how much your True Love means to you, you can give all 364 gifts from the song (the amount of gifts totaled from each repetition of the song) and set yourself back a grand total of $170,298.03.
If this somehow sounds like a good idea and you think your True Love would love it, you still have time...the official twelve days of Christmas begins on Christmas and continues the following days after.
