Christmas is right around the corner, and given that so many of us are buying gifts remotely this year, you may still be looking for discounts. Green Monday is eBay’s fabricated shopping holiday. Historically, the second Monday in December is the busiest retail sales day of the month, hence the money-themed name for the day.
It might be a weird day you’ve never heard of, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some great deals. We’ve scoured the web for the best offers this Green Monday, with many matching the prices we saw on Black Friday and Cyber Monday a couple weeks ago.
Special offer for Gear readers: Get a 1-year subscription to WIRED for $5 ($25 off). This includes unlimited access to WIRED.com and our print magazine (if you’d like). Subscriptions help fund the work we do every day.
