Have you ever surprised YOURSELF with an unexpected gift?

63% of Americans say they've bought something online, and then forgotten about it until it showed up on their doorstep. The average person does it eight times a year.

Over half of us have even ordered something, forgotten about it, and not remembered what it was until we opened the box.

Buying stuff late at night, and after a few DRINKS, might have something to do with it. 60% of people admit they've online shopped while drunk. 83% say those purchases tend to be "dumb or frivolous" things they don't really need.

The survey looked at online buyer's remorse in general, and found 74% of us have regretted buying something online.

Our most common online shopping regrets are: The item wasn't as high-quality as you thought, it's less useful than expected, you spent too much on it, you found a better version of the same product later, and you had to pay for shipping to return it.
