The Best Days to Online Shop in December

If you’re online shopping in December that means you’re doing it for those last minute holiday gifts you weren’t able to snag in November. Deliberately avoiding the holiday rushes right after Thanksgiving can be a wise move, as more sales will come your way the closer you wait until the big holidays. There are plenty of opportunities in December to find discounts, whether shopping online or in the store.

Here are some of the most predictably best days in December to cash in on online deals:

1. Green Monday:
Lesser known than Black Friday, Green Monday, falling on December 11th, offers top-grossing online shopping discount to savvy shoppers today. Coined by eBay in 2007 to describe a particularly strong sales day for the platform, national retailers grabbed the name and ran with it. Companies like Walmart and Best Buy have pages dedicated to Green Monday offers.

2. Free Shipping Day:
Falling on December 15th this year, Free Shipping Day is always around the 14-17th of December, right on a Friday. Hundreds of stores sign up to participate, like Target, T.J. Maxx, Tommy Hilfiger, and more. Shoppers are rewarded with free shipping on any kind of order, not required to hit a minimum.

3. Christmas Eve:
Yes, Christmas Eve is actually a big day for people to throw out last minute online orders with 24-hour delivery. Hoping it arrives before anyone has noticed, Christmas Eve is always full of last-minute deals that retailers are happy to provide you. They want to empty out their inventory at this point, which means they’re happy to offer up 24-hour delivery and discounted prices to do so.

Have you waited until the last second to do your holiday online shopping? Don’t sweat it; you can have your pick of sales days.
