Younger generations plan to spend a lot more money on Valentine’s Day than older ones. Statista reports that in 2025, Americans from Generation Z are spending an average of $235 on February 14-related gifts and services. In second place are millennials who are spending roughly $176. Meanwhile, Generation X is spending just $95 while baby boomers are prepared to shell out an average of $53.
This makes sense the more you think about it. On the one hand, younger people are either still looking for love or they’re freshly in new relationships, so they want to leave a good impression with their gifts. On the other hand, members of older generations might increasingly value gifts that don’t necessarily require spending much money.

#24 Sounds Like Jodee Should Get A New Valentine. Maybe Someone Who Doesn’t Cheat And Can Spell Slept
You don’t necessarily have to break the bank to celebrate Valentine’s Day in style. If you’re on a tight budget, you can surprise your partner with a handmade gift, a home-cooked meal, an awesomely romantic date, a song you’ve written for them, a painting you made, etc.
The sky and your imagination are the limit! What truly matters is that you give your partner the attention they deserve and find small ways to do something truly special for them. It’s not the price tag of a luxury gift that makes someone feel seen, loved, and understood. Your effort, on the other hand, is priceless!
