Uncommon Websites for Cyber Monday

Whether you will be staring at your computer from work or surfing department store websites on your iPad, you are probably looking for the best deals without fighting the crowds.

Many department stores are rolling over their Black Friday deals to Cyber Monday, the biggest online shopping day of the year.

If you work from home, like your lucky Patch editors, stay in your pajamas and start clicking. If you work in an office, what a good excuse to procrastinate!

Last year, Americans spent more than $1 million online during Cyber Monday.

Want to go beyond the department stores for a unique gift? Check out these websites:
