Holiday gift spending up nearly $200 this year
Holiday shoppers plan to spend $1,107, on average, for presents in 2025. That’s $182 more than last year’s average.

This increase could be attributed, at least in part, to tariff-related price hikes: Close to two-thirds of 2025 holiday shoppers (65%) are concerned about tariffs impacting their holiday gift shopping this year.
