Black Friday seems to have brought its fair share of shopping glee, according to Comscore online retail spending jumped 26% to something over $1.04 Billion this year, and for the fist time. To put that into perspective, online sales now represent about one tenth of all sales. So today we are wondering how Cyber Monday will fare comparatively.
To contribute to, to do our little part, here are some bargains out there that really are too good to miss out on.

Up Close & Personal Gifts
For men, not much says more about his personality than a wristwatch (well maybe his shoes). From personal experience, I mean outside Rolex or even Ulysse Nardin, Seiko is a name to trust – especially for the money. This Cyber Monday, why not buy the gift that keeps on ticking (well, keeping time anyway)? Macy’s has unbelievable deals for Cyber Monday here (@MacysSale via image caption)
. The Stainless Seiko Men’s Chronograph pictured is a classic, something to treasure for years to come, and for under $100 bucks!
For Her, Warmer Than Fur
Here’s one I bet not many reading thought of for Cyber Monday. What’s warmer (and cheaper) than a sable fur coat? The Westin Grand Cayman for one. While most of the rest of North America is up to their neck in snow or worse, the best gift to give your better half could well be paradise. You can save up to Save up to 38% off of one of the Island’s finest resort experiences. So you know, as I type this, it is currently 77 F (25 C) at the resort.
Here’s an all inclusive package for his and her indulgence @ $206 per person per night.
