11 Last-Minute Cyber Monday Deals That You Need To Know About

Cyber Monday is nearly upon us! And if you're like me and greatly valued the rare opportunity to sleep in on Black Friday, some last-minute Cyber Monday deals are a welcome alternative to fighting retail store crowds at the crack of dawn. Early retail reports indicate Black Friday sales were down around $1.2 billion this year compared to last year. As many business analysts have predicted and been proven true year after year, the downward slope in retail sales during the holiday season stems from an increasing uptick in online shopping and mobile purchases. An estimated $1 billion worth of online sales took place on Thanksgiving between midnight and 5:30 p.m. Eastern alone.

And then there's online retail behemoth Amazon, who's turned Cyber Monday into an entire week of steep discounts and sales, just as it did for Black Friday this year. Even without all the anticipation and sales buzz, 2015 marks an important milestone for the shopping bonanza: The great Thanksgiving holiday weekend shopping tradition celebrates its 10th year since the "Cyber Monday" term was first coined in 2005.

Many online retailers have already begun their Cyber Monday deals, so put on your favorite pair of sweatpants and comfy slippers, curl up with a cup of tea, and log on to these online stores to check out all the great last-minute savings throughout the day on Cyber Monday.
