Some of your questions I struggled to answer. What I look for in a gift depends on their age and who I’m buying for.

I’m afraid you need to alter questions.

4 has no option for kids both over and under 18.
5 won’t let you answer how many times plus the last gift question.
8 asks for multiple answers but can only click one.

Best of luck

I do think that needs tweaking (and proofreading) OP. A lot of these questions are situational, people will have different budgets and buy different things for different children in their lives and purchase for a variety of children over the course of the year with a varying budget and willingness to shop around.

As an aside, I do think at a minimum it is polite to allow people to not state their gender, given the only options are ' male or female'.

Making some of those multiple choice or reformatting them would offer you a much larger range of data to work with ;asking people to choose a 'top 3' things which are important to them, which they want or use, or to rank things in order of importance, say.

I'd also include some open questions with boxes ( that are not obligatory) and ask questions such as
' which online shops do you like to browse for gifts' (check out peer competition)
' what gifts would you like to be able to find for children that aren't often available' (identify any gaps in the market or opportunities)

If this is to be an online venture, I'd be asking about peoples opinions on postage costs, delivery times, whether they often get inspiration for gifts from social media (and where), whether discount codes and promotional giveaways, loyalty schemes would be of interest to them etc etc

I would be looking to make every question of a clear and significant value, something you can analyse effectively to identify a demographic and create effective strategy geared towards them.

I can’t complete the survey. It doesn’t allow me to express my opinion properly. I buy for children under one and over 16 and the questions are too narrow, a wooden toy only works for the little ones yet the question assumes you only buy for one age group. I couldn’t say I buy for my own children and others, only one answer is allowed. I buy a lot for my children’s friends, no option for that though. It is also full of spelling mistakes. I wouldn’t buy from a business that pays no attention to detail.
