Cyber Monday 2020 Gifts

This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for supporting Kate the (Almost) Great!

It honestly feels a little silly to make a gift guide for Cyber Monday in 2020 because the big stores already have had their Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals up for a while! But while I did second-guess myself, I decided to make a gift guide for Cyber Monday because those great deals generally will not last past Monday. That being said – let’s get shopping!

Before you do, sign up for Rakuten, formerly known as EBates. It’s an extension you install to your browser and it will alert you when you’re on a website that they have a partnership with. Get cash back when you shop! They partner with the companies and get paid through them, so you pay nothing, but you get money. Sign up here.

Are you ready for holiday shopping? In this gift guide, I'm sharing the gifts to buy on Cyber Monday 2020 and the days leading up to it.

Cyber Monday 2020 Gifts: Electronics

Cyber Monday is ALWAYS a good time to buy electronics! Here are some great ones to check out:

Apple MacBook Air

Microsoft Surface Pro 7

Cyber Monday 2020 Gifts: Useful Gifts

It isn’t the most festive of gifts, but vacuum cleaners can be expensive. If you know someone on their own for the first time or if you just need a new vacuum cleaner, Cyber Monday is the time to get it. If you want a Keurig or a Nespresso – either for yourself or for someone else! – now is the time. Hurry up and buy!

Most useful gifts

Cyber Monday 2020 Gifts: Furniture

I know it seems kind of silly to buy furniture online, but with more and more COVID-19 cases, it’s SO much safer to shop online. But you still want good deals! So don’t ignore furniture this Cyber Monday.

Beauty gifts

Cyber Monday 2020 Gifts: Fitness

Looking to build up your at-home exercise regime? Since COVID won’t be leaving the US anytime soon – and, unfortunately, the number of cases will skyrocket unless people take things seriously – this is the time to buy equipment. Whether you’re looking to buy something bigger like an upright bike or something smaller like a yoga mat, you can get some for great deals now.

    Great – I should certainly pronounce, impressed
    with your website. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs as well
    as related info ended up being truly easy to do to access.
    I recently found what I hoped for before you know it
    at all. Quite unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or
    something, web site theme . a tones way for your client to
    communicate. Excellent task.

This is the face of coronary artery disease⁣ ⁣ Yup This is the face of coronary artery disease⁣
⁣
Yup, I have heart disease. ⁣
⁣
I've mentioned this in bits and pieces over the last year, but in 2025, I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease.To be clear, I have basically the lowest amount of artery calcification possible to still have heart disease, but I still have it. ⁣
⁣
Coronary artery disease is a complication of rheumatoid arthritis, as cholesterol can be increased by inflammation. As I hung around the border of coronary artery disease, I got COVID. ⁣
⁣
COVID is also an inflammatory condition, which is why research shows that COVID can increase risk of heart disease. ⁣
⁣
We're keeping an eye on it now, and increasing my cholesterol medication has helped keep my cholesterol down. Which is good because I already eat a pretty heart-healthy diet and exercise is tricky for me. ⁣
⁣
If you have an inflammatory condition like RA or Crohn's, you should know that that inflammation can contribute towards cholesterol levels and therefore heart disease, especially if you've had COVID (and every time you get it increases your risks). ⁣

“Why don’t you take having 10+ chronic illnesses m “Why don’t you take having 10+ chronic illnesses more seriously”Because I have a ridiculous number of illnesses. Anything over 7 feels made up. Like, obviously it’s not, but I’m up to 10. That’s a ridiculous number.⁣

▪ Listen to audiobooks⁣
▪ Work - hey, I need all my PTO possible with my health issues. Sometimes I need to work during my iron infusions!⁣
