Cyber Monday is held on the Monday after Thanksgiving and has grown into a major online‑shopping event. In 2025 it takes place on 1 December. Retailers across the UK roll out online‑only discounts on everything from electronics and fashion to toys and homewares. The term was originally coined in 2005 to encourage people to shop online; today it is embraced by customers and businesses alike and often stretches into a full “Cyber Week”.
Why Cyber Monday matters
Cyber Monday offers an alternative to the hustle of Black Friday. Because the deals are online‑only, you can avoid queues and shop from home, work or your phone. Millions of people take part every year, and many shoppers use smartphones and tablets rather than desktop computers. Retailers know this and often run flash sales or special voucher codes to attract buyers. The result is a day of bargains and competitive pricing that kick‑starts the holiday shopping season.

Cyber Monday vs Black Friday
Black Friday began as an in‑store shopping day. In the UK it now spans both physical and online promotions. Cyber Monday comes immediately after and focuses exclusively on online sales. Although the boundaries have blurred, many retailers still reserve the best tech and software discounts for the Monday. If you’re looking for gadgets or digital subscriptions, Cyber Monday is often worth the wait.
