The National Retail Foundation, in a press release, anticipates that Americans will break yet another record spending record for the Valentine’s Day Holiday this year. After spending $27.4 billion in 2020 and spending $25.8 billion in 2024, expectations are that we will spend $27.5 billion ($188.81/person) in 2025. The NRF Vice President of Industry and Consumer insights remarked, “Consumers are looking for special ways to treat their loved ones and can expect retailers to provide the best gift options and deals” (https://nrf.com/ media-center/press-releases/nrf-survey-valentine-s-day-spending-reaches-record-27-5- billion).
