Just curious to see what others thought about this statistic?

I think that's way to high, I'd rather not give/get gifts but very few of my friend's will donate to charity in leiu of a gift.
I think last year I spent maybe $150 total. My friends and i have agreed on 10-15 a person and I normally spend $25 on family. I feel guilty when they spend more than that on me anyway. No matter how much my mom says she's going to cut back, she doesn't and then I feel spoiled for complaining about my having too much stuff.
