As for planned gift items for Parents' Day, 62.2% of respondents chose cash. This was followed by health supplements (10.2%), clothing and fashion accessories (6.5%), and plans to spend time together or have a meal without gifts or cash (4.0%). Among those in their 20s, the response rate for cash (48.3%) was lower than other age groups, and a higher percentage (7.3%) planned to spend time together or have a meal without gifts or cash.

The majority of respondents (91.6%) said they would deliver the Parents' Day gift in person. Among those planning to give gifts, 17.9% said they would send them remotely via delivery, gifticons, or other non-face-to-face methods.

A Lotte Members representative stated, "Overall, it appears that more people prepare more generous gifts for Parents' Day than for Children's Day. Those in their 30s have the highest budget amounts, and despite some respondents in their 20s not yet being financially independent, they carefully consider a wide range of items to prepare heartfelt gifts for Parents' Day."
