We baked. We Zoomed. We got puppies! With 2020 nearly behind us, what better time to look back on the year that was and consider what’s in store for 2021.

PickFu customers ran over 15,000 polls this year to evaluate creative ideas in e-commerce, app development, publishing, and beyond. Because we love data and insights, the PickFu team ran dozens more of our own.

Pandemic-related polls were inevitable, like this one about weirdest purchases. (A 50-pound bag of steel-cut oats isn’t that weird. A jumbo hamster wheel for a cat…maybe?)

Family. Decorations. Gifts. And plenty of food — especially meat.

These themes emerged in our PickFu holiday poll that asked 50 people the question, “What are your holiday traditions?” While a few respondents mentioned their change in holiday plans in light of the pandemic, most focused on how they celebrate in “normal” times.

Read on for some of their responses and add your own below. Happy holidays from all of us at PickFu!

Thanksgiving is a time for reflection. One of the holiday’s most enduring traditions — in a typical year, anyway — is to ask those gathered around the table what they are most thankful for.

This year is different, of course. Many of us have planned scaled-down festivities that may or may not include turkey and Zoom.

So we posed the question virtually, asking 50 people in a PickFu poll what they are most thankful for this year. Perhaps not surprisingly, being healthy was top of mind for most.

Happy Pride Month! 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of LGBTQ+ Pride traditions. To celebrate, we used PickFu to ask 50 heterosexuals, “Are there questions you’ve always wanted to ask someone who’s LGBTQ+ but were too afraid to ask?”

Since the days of Father Knows Best, television has shaped our collective idea of what it means to be a dad. In celebration of Father’s Day, join us as we reminisce about our favorite leading men of the small screen.

Using PickFu, we asked 200 people, “If you could choose any TV dad to be your dad, who would you choose?”

Let’s take a look at their answers and over-analyze what they mean.

This Mother’s Day isn’t like any other. Many of us aren’t able to visit our moms in person for hugs and kisses or go out to brunch at our favorite restaurant. But regardless of the distance that we’re keeping, one thing that’s timeless is the wisdom that moms impart in our lives.

Using PickFu, we asked 100 people to share the best advice they received from a mom (any mom, not necessarily their own!) We collected our favorites here.

Depending on whom you ask, February 14 is either a day to celebrate the best of human relationships or a cynical marketing ploy. Regardless of which side you take, love is uplifting, romantic, hilarious, and terrifying, often at the same time.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, PickFu gathered a panel of 200 married people to share their proposal stories and rate them on a scale of 1 (least romantic) to 5 (most romantic). Their stories will make you cheer, laugh, and choke up — much like love itself.
