Americans are expected to spend big this holiday season, at least $100 more this year than last year.
A Gallup survey found that Americans say they'll probably spend an average of $975 on gifts this season.
That's the highest holiday shopping estimate since Gallup began tracking it in 1999.
The lowest was during the 2008 financial crisis, when Americans predicted to spend an average of $616 on gifts.
