How Much Would The Gifts From ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’ Cost?

It's hard to think that December is tomorrow. If you didn't locate a partridge in a pear tree for a great deal on Black Friday, you had better act quickly before all the stores sell out.

PNC Bank does an annual study on how much it would cost to buy everything from the song, "The 12 Days of Christmas".

This year's cost is $46,730, a 2.7% increase from last year. Alternatively, if you purchased the goods repeatedly every day as the song implies, that would be 364 gifts in total, that would be more than $201,000.

Here's a breakdown of how much it would cost to buy or hire all 12 things:

• Twelve drummers drumming - $3,468
• Eleven pipers piping - $3,207
• Ten lords-a-leaping - $14,539
• Nine ladies dancing - $8,308
• Eight maids-a-milking - $58
• Seven swans-a-swimming - 13,125
• Six geese-a-laying - $780
• Five gold rings - $1,245
• Four calling birds - $600
• Three French hens - $330
• Two turtle doves - $750
• And a partridge in a pear tree - $319

It seems like the crazy inflation we saw this year would jolt the prices, however, the 2.7% hike was actually the smallest year-over-year increase since 2019.
