Will you do some online shopping tomorrow which is Cyber Monday?
I just heard on CNN that Amazon will be a "major player" on Cyber Monday.
I usually do a bit of shopping and lots of companies have free shipping that day so it's worth it.
I need a pair of water shoes for the gym. They have a spin class IN the pool which looks like fun but water shoes are required. I found a nice pair on amazon but am waiting until tomorrow to see if they are on sale.

I checked Amazon this morning and the water shoes I wanted have an additional $5 off today and free shipping so got a Cyber Monday deal.

I usually do a fair bit of online shopping on the weekend after Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday. But this year I have have done any Christmas shopping at all yet. After clearing a bunch of stuff out of the master bedroom closet this weekend, the prospect of buying MORE STUFF is just not appealing today! Especially since said stuff will have to be kept in boxes for weeks before anyone can use it. Blech.
Also, most of what DH and the kids want is technology. I want DH to help me make sure I get the right stuff for the kids, and give me some more clarity about what he is asking for, too.

I got a Shun paring knife, a Michael Symon cookbook, and deodorizers for my boots. Not a single electrical gadget.

My wife is an iPad addict. This morning her iPad did the Black Screen of Death. Went on-line and tried all the fixes to no avail. Called our Apple vendor and he told I did all they could think of. The iPad died. Ordered another from Amazon on a cyber Monday special price so withdrawal will only be two days. Until then, my iPad has a new user.

I haven't a clue why somebody calls some certain monday cyber. It is the Monday after Thanksgiving and it is called Cyber Monday because people are ordering online, aka in Cyberspace. Lots of discounts can be found online by not even leaving your house. I like it. Many companies offer free shipping with no minimum order on Cyber Monday.

Lots of discounts can be found online by not even leaving your house. I like it. Many companies offer free shipping with no minimum order on Cyber Monday. Yep. It started with a few of the online merchandisers offering special sales aimed at people who missed out on limited stock items or otherwise didn't find what they wanted in the stores on Black Friday/Thanksgiving weekend. Then it became its own thing and really is starting to compete with Black Friday. I would not be surprised to see Cyber Monday sales surpass Black Friday sales within a few years. EDIT: I did end up getting Christmas present on Cyber Monday - a wireless gaming headset for my youngest. Wired headsets perform better, and it's annoying to have to change the batteries in wireless headsets, BUT he has a knack for killing his headsets by twisting up and breaking the wires. We already switched him to a wireless mouse for the same reason. Maybe this headset will last him a while!
