1. Cybermonday.com

Your Cyber Monday plan of action should be: wake up, turn on computer, buy cheap presents online. But with 84% of retailers participating in Cyber Monday — Black Friday's online Christmas shopping cousin — you could spend the whole day searching for deals unsure of when to pull the trigger on the right one. To weed through the madness start the day at the National Retail Federation's website, cybermonday.com, for an aggregation of over 600 holiday deals from web retailers in every category. (It was the NRF that first coined the term Cyber Monday back in 2005.) The site will feature many merchants' best sales — e.g. 40% off all DVD boxed sets at Borders.com and a free gift with purchase in skincare, fragrance or bath at beauty.com. Check back every 60 minutes for cybermonday.com's exclusive "deal of the hour."
