Circuit City Stores, Inc. Press Release:

More than clothing, jewelry and sporting goods combined, American moms and dads are wishing for consumer electronics gifts this holiday season, according to a new national survey commissioned by electronics retailer Circuit City Stores, Inc.

The survey of more than 3,000 men and women with children found that respondents would most like to see an electronics gift such as a TV, computer or digital camera, under the tree this holiday season. Electronics was the top gift choice (52 percent) for both men and women:

-- 65 percent of men chose electronics, followed by 15 percent clothing,
nine percent sporting goods, three percent furniture, two percent
jewelry
-- 41 percent of women chose electronics, followed by 24 percent clothing,
20 percent jewelry, nine percent furniture, one percent sporting goods
Only six percent of respondents indicated they do not want a gift this holiday season.
Asked which electronics gift they would most like to receive, the top choice of both men and women (40 percent) was flat panel TV:

-- 46 percent of men chose flat panel TV, followed by 12 percent computer,
nine percent tie for GPS navigation and digital camera, seven percent
video game system
-- 36 percent of women chose flat panel TV, followed by 19 percent digital
camera, 13 percent computer, eight percent GPS navigation
-- MP3 players, cell phones and video game titles rounded out the list.

The gift rankings were similar across all age groups, but following TV, men aged 18-24 indicated a greater interest in video games and computers. Following TV, women aged 18-24 indicated higher interest in video games, cell phones and MP3 players.

Ninety percent of survey respondents indicated they were planning to buy a gift for the entire family for the holidays:

-- six percent chose furniture
-- two percent chose appliances
