Forget Black Friday...Reign in Cyber Monday

Got heartburn from the stuffing your mom made and don’t feel like hoofing it to the mall the day after Thanksgiving with the rest of the shopping schleps? Looks like this is your lucky year. Now, instead of Black Friday, the day traditional retailers monitor store traffic and sales for the holiday sales season, it’s all about Cyber Monday. Yes, that’s right folks, now that online holiday shopping has been creeping steadily into store sales, it’s time to give the Monday after Thanksgiving a name—and somebody out there thought Cyber Monday sounded good. According to the Shop.org/BizRate Research 2005 eHoliday Mood Study, 77 percent of online retailers said that their sales increased substantially last year on this Monday, a trend that is driving serious online discounts and promotions on Cyber Monday this year. So now you can sleep off your turkey and play video games the day after Thanksgiving, and just do your Christmas shopping online. At work. According to the eHoliday Mood Study, 43 percent of online retailers plan to offer special promotions and discounts on Cyber Monday. Deals will range from free shipping to gifts with purchase to percentages off.

Cavalli Entry to Fashion Phones
Oh. My. Goodness. Roberto Cavalli has partnered with 3 Hong Kong partners to create an extremely limited-edition 3G Fashion Phone. The result: three chic animal-print hides. Orders are being taken from Friday, and there are two requirements for suitable candidates.
Firstly, you’re going to need more than £7,000 in pocket change to be taken seriously. Secondly, you’re going to have to act fast because Roberto’s one-of-a-kind philosophy means that only 1,089 of the new video mobile phones have been produced for the world to fight over – which, by the way, is downright unfair.
What else can we tell you about the Roberto Cavalli Fashion Phone other than that we’re completely smitten? Oh, it comes with a bottle of the Italian designer’s Serpentine EDP perfume tucked inside.

Cool Blue Water
You always get foamy white/clear water, and sometimes brown depending where you live. Think about this: You have just cooked a nice dinner for your date and she asks for some water and it comes out in a sexy mood inducing blue stream? All you do is turn the water on, and the running water activates the LED, making the water look bright blue. You could also use it as an additional light source for doing sexy dishes. Each faucet light set includes 3 button cell batteries, a wire screen, 2 universal adapters. All of that for about $14.97. Not too bad for something that’ll add some pizazz to the bathroom, letting you wash in the same blue colored water that swirls around the toilet bowl. Ah, refreshing!
