Holiday Gift Guide: Online Edition

November 18, 2015 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC18 Comments

Yes, we are talking about the holidays already. This is my first holiday gift guide for the season and I plan on publishing a few more. I love these because not only do they help you all out with some ideas and deals that you might not have known about but it helps me have a bunch of ideas for gifts all in one place. For me, the name of the game for holiday shopping is easy and time saving. We’re all probably familiar with CyberMonday – the Monday after Thanksgiving where there are just tons of deals to be had online. But did you know that there is an awesome website, CyberMonday.com, that aggregates all the sales for top retailers?? This saves us all money, energy and most importantly, time! Read on to learn more about CyberMonday and check out my first holiday gift guide of the season!

Holiday Gift Guide_ Online Edition

One of my favorite features of stress is the curated gift guides alleviate the stress of holiday shopping with recommended categories, products and stores for everyone on your list. Inspired by the range of products and all the fantastic deals offered on the site, I decided to focus on gifts for the person who spends their days online. These five gifts (which I found through the CyberMonday.com site) are perfect for the blogger / social media maven or teen who is glued to their smartphone.

An iPad mini 4. Perfect for someone who travels but needs to stay connected. As a relatively new mac convert (I now use a mac mini at home), I’m definitely interested in this one! 

laptop

A new laptop! This Lenovo ThinkPad could help your blogger on the go stay connected.

Every blogger’s dream: an SLR Camera! This is actually kind of my nightmare because if I had this, I’d have no excuses and would have to really step up my photography game and I’m not sure I’m ready for that yet, haha. However, most bloggers or amateur photographers would love this!

A good planner is always a must! Even for someone who is internet obsessed, sometimes it helps to write things down! 

 iphone

And of course, a new iPhone for your internet obsessed teen. I have to admit that for me, the 6 is just way too big but I am in the clear majority on this one. 

The neat thing about the CyberMonday.com site that I appreciate, is you can compare prices at tons of stores, all from one page. This way you don’t have to go searching everywhere to find the best price. The site features deals and special savings from hundreds of retailers not only on Cyber Monday, but all year round. In addition to hundreds of special offers, some of which will be exclusive promotions available only on the site, CyberMonday.com will be featuring a Deal of the Hour on its front page on Black Friday and Cyber Monday highlighting a different retail promotion every 60 minutes. Offers will include free shipping, dollars off, percentages off, and free gifts with purchase at some of your favorite stores. AND if you want to be alerted of the deals the site is featuring? Cyber Monday will send you emails about the best CyberMonday.com money saving deals from the most popular stores of the season. Just enter your email address at the bottom of the website and click ‘Submit’, it’s that easy. Huzzah! 

I found it super easy to search for gifts and to find the best price all through the CyberMonday.com site and I’m so glad I discovered it. It’s a one stop shop for gifting and an easy way to avoid some of the stress of hitting the stores during the holidays!

Do you prefer to shop online or at the stores?

      Right now, I just use a basic planner to supplement my online planners and it’s working out for the most part. I think I got mine at Target.

    I actually just picked up a planner for 2016 and I know it will get a lot of use – lol. I loathe black friday and all the mayhem around it so cyber monday is more my jam as I prefer online shopping. Thanks for posting these gift ideas!

    I know my food photos would come out a lot better if I had a real camera instead of using my phone but I have no idea how to use all of those settings!

      Yeah, but you’d teach yourself if you had a fancy camera 🙂 Hint hint, Deborah’s husband 🙂

    oh, I’d never heard of this site before. I’ll have to check it out. I like that it lets you compare prices for various sources without having to go to each of those sites separately.

    I definitely prefer to shop online, Courtney; those stores…I can’t even. I love the commercial that’s been playing lately where these “testers” are sitting around a table watching video from Black Friday – ha! NO WAY!!

    I definitely prefer shopping online during the holidays. I find it much easier to find deals and so much more convenient and enjoyable than being amongst the craziness at a store. You can usually find free shipping too so that’s a bonus! I am going to check out that website. Thanks, Courtney!

    Black Friday is too much craziness for me. I prefer Cyber Monday.

    I will shop online any day, especially if I can be in my PJ’s. I have a DSLR camera and I have no freaking clue how to use it! It’s too big to lug around to races and for running I think, so I ‘ll stick with my iphone and GoPro!
