Cyber Monday 2017: 11 Last Minute Ideas to Put On Your List
Cyber Monday, much like Black Friday, can prove to be a stressful day, even though shopping from the comfort of one’s own home beats dealing with crowds and traffic any day. Just like W editors planned for America’s busiest shopping day, we also strategized in advance about what coveted items they plan to purchase once Cyber Monday hits. For many editors, that means springing for the shoe or bag they’ve had their eye on all season, or the major coat that will serve them well through the winter. Others among us are in nesting mode, and are looking for steals on chic new bedding, picture frames, candles, or beauty splurges. And others are full steam ahead with their holiday shopping, and planning one-stop shopping on Amazon, or stocking up on books for their friends and family. Books make for a great gift idea, as associate digital editor Brooke Marine notes. “On Cyber Monday, I like to buy books as gifts because I never know what to give, but I feel like everyone should always be reading!” Here’s to happy shopping on Cyber Monday 2017.
I have a coat obsession—statement coats, fur coats, black coats, you name it, I wear it.Unfortunately, they often come with a hefty price tag so this Cyber Monday I’ll be on the hunt for my next statement coat at a discount. I have had my eye on a Yves Solomon leopard print coat, as well as this Balenciaga tweed coat. They are going to be top of my cart come Monday morning! — Rickie De Sole, Fashion Director Balenciaga Pulled Opera Coat, $3,150, farfetch.com.
I recently decided I need to upgrade my bedding so I’m turning to Parachute Home–an online mecca for bedding and bath essentials. I’ve got my eye on their white linen duvet cover made of 100 percent European flax and their lightweight down duvet cover. — Nora Milch, Senior Accessories Editor Duvet cover, $230-250, paracutehome.com, and down duvet, $239-449, paracutehome.com.
Like Nora, I’ve been focusing a lot lately on the home—as it gets cold and blustery outside, I have been spending much more time indoors! This Cyber Monday, I plan to get some of the recent prints I’ve purchased framed. I have become a die hard devotee to Framebridge, as they make the process so ridiculously easy. I simply choose the frame I want online (I love their wood frames, in both walnut and ash), they send me a proper-sized box, I send them the print, and they send it right back in no time. They’re pricing is so reasonable, and you can have anything from an Instagram to a diploma framed. For Cyber Monday, they are offering 20% off black frames—so looks like I’ll have to give those a try, too. — Caroline Grosso, Senior Digital Fashion Editor

On Cyber Monday, I like to buy books as gifts because I never know what to give, but I feel like everyone should always be reading! Artbook has a lot of great titles to choose from, like William Eggleston’s Guide. Amazon also has a treasure trove of great books, like Jamel Shabazz: Sights in the City, New York Street Photographs. — Brooke Marine, Associate Digital Editor
Jamel Shabazz, Sights in the City, $32, amazon.com.
I love to use Cyber Monday to stock up on the basics that I know will be in constant rotation in my wardrobe, but don’t require me to try on in-store—they are classics for a reason. Everlane is my go-to for great wardrobe staples, and they always have great holiday sales online, so you don’t have to wait in line for hours. — Lauren McCarthy, Digital Fashion News Editor

I’m a loyal online shopper, so Cyber Monday can’t come soon enough. This year I’m really looking forward to the bigger online retailers like Amazon, where the sales are endless and I can do all my holiday shopping in one fell swoop. This year I just hope my computer doesn’t die and I lose everything in my shopping cart (pro tip: charge your laptop before shopping). No holiday season is complete without buying a gift for yourself, and I’ve been dreaming of these Prada combat boots for quite some time now, The Barneys annual sale comes just in time for that New York winter weather, so I think I’m going to finally get them.—Courtney Costello, Fashion Market Assistan
