Emma Watson might have made “self-partnered” the latest relationship status label (it’s even better than Gwyneth Paltrow’s statement of “consciously uncoupling”) — but talking and toasting about being single is becoming something that’s much more out in the open now.
Nov. 11 is Veterans Day in the U.S., but outside of the states today also marks a holiday that’s all about being single and splurgy.
You might not have ever heard of Singles Day, which lands on Nov. 11 (or 11/11, which anyone who always makes a wish at 11:11 can appreciate), but it’s become the biggest online shopping day in the world. Yes, you read that right. It beats out Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday for that top title.
What started off as a day to celebrate being young and single in China has become, in recent years, an event that draws in billions of dollars. Alibaba, a Chinese e-commerce site that you might have heard a friend casually mention, first introduced the day as a sales event back in 2009. Last year, Alibaba alone made more than $30.8 billion from Singles Day.
Just for some context, the grand total of Black Friday last year? A record $6.22 billion in online sales. Cyber Monday last year also was record- making: shoppers spent $7.9 billion online.
While the holiday hasn’t quite taken off in the U.S. yet, some brands are trying to get a seat at the singles’ table and starting to offer discounts on the day.
But don’t worry, you won’t have to go digging into the depths of the internet to find these deals. We’ve rounded up some of the best Singles Day deals below.
