Recent surveys from Lending Tree and the National Retail Federation say Americans who celebrate are projected to spend between $175 and $210 this year. Experts say couples that have been together for less time tend to spend on the higher side of that.
The total spending of $23.9 billion is up from $21.8 billion in 2021 and the second-highest year on record.
More than half (53%) of U.S. consumers plan to celebrate the holiday in 2022, up from 52% in 2021.
