**Don't Wait: Using Gifts Quickly Brings More Enjoyment, Study Finds**

A recent report from Cornell University's Johnson School highlights an interesting finding about how we use gifts. Jacqueline Rifkin, a researcher at the school, suggests that waiting too long to use a present might reduce the amount of joy it brings. According to the report, people can maximize their enjoyment by using gifts, such as holiday gift cards, without delay.

So if you've been holding onto a gift card or voucher, the research encourages using it sooner rather than later for the best experience.
