With all the focus on Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Boxing Day, Singles’ Day is one sales event that deserves the attention too.
A little underrated in Australia, but highly-anticipated internationally, Singles’ Day sees a flurry of great deals across fashion, beauty, home, tech and everything in-between.
Want in on more Singles’ Day fun? Scroll on to see our roundup of the best deals currently on offer.
The story goes that Singles’ Day was first started by Nanjing University students in the early ‘90s, who exchanged gifts with one another as an anti-Valentines Day gesture.
But why November 11? The date was chosen as the 11s represent “single sticks” or “bare sticks”, which is Chinese slang for bachelors.
Singles’ Day is always held on November 11. And this year, Singles’ Day starts directly after the Aussie sales event, Click Frenzy, meaning many local retailers have chosen to offer shoppers deals that cover the two events.
