Gift Guide: Cyber Monday

It’s Black Friday! I’ve never been one to do that – the one time I did, I wound up getting a mani-pedi away from the hustle and bustle – but Cyber Monday? Sign me up. In anticipation of the amazing deals available, many stores have been releasing information about what their sales will be. I’ve pulled together a gift guide to help you navigate the best sales out there. According to Deal News, Cyber Monday is best for buying laptops, travel, kitchen products, and shoes. I’m going cover several stores in particular that include these items, as well as other products that they have that will be on sale.

As a reminder, I strongly suggest signing up for Ebates. It’s an extension that automatically looks for coupons and cashback when you shop. Some stores have up to 10% cashback! Every quarter they give you the cash you’ve earned from online shopping. If you use my link and shop, you’ll get $10. (For the record, I will also get money for referring you.) Sign up here.

Looking to get amazing deals without dealing with the stores on Black Friday? Check out these Cyber Monday gifts! I've rounded up stores with amazing deals so you can shop them, either for yourself or for other people.

Amazon

Notes – Prime members will get the best deals, and there will be Lightening Deals, which is when some sales are only for a few hours. Additionally, there will be amazing deals on some of Amazon’s products, which you can see below. According to Deal News, Cyber Monday is best for buying laptops, travel, kitchen products, and shoes.

Specific Products – Amazon Echo Dot: $40 (20% off); Amazon Fire HD: $60 (33% off); HP Envy Wireless All-in-One Photo Printer: $50 (50% off); Sony Extra Bass Bluetooth Headphones: $88 (32% off); and all TVs

Gift Guide: Cyber Monday Gifts

Amazon Echo Dot | HP Envy Wireless All-in-One Photo Printer | Amazon Fire HD | Playstation 4 Slim 1TB Console ($200, 33% off)| Sonos Speaker ($150, 25% off) | Amazon Fire Stick ($40, connect your TV with streaming sites!) | Sony Extra Bass Bluetooth Headphones

J. Crew Factory

Notes – There will be at least 50% off everything at J. Crew Factory! There will also be free shipping once you spend over $100.

Specific Products – women’s flannel shirts: $25 (65% off); men’s solid lambswool crewneck sweaters: $25 (59% off); women’s puffer vests: $35 (57% off); men’s flannel shirts: $20 (66% off)

Target

Notes – For the last two years, everything at Target has been 15% off on Cyber Monday, and they start their sale on Sunday. There is up to 25% off K’NEX, Mega Blocks, and Magformers. Also, they have free shipping on everything this holiday season!

Specific Products (some of these prices are not as low as they actually will be because I’m writing this 5 days before Cyber Monday and it’s hard to see the exact deal) – Samsung Ultra HD TV: $400 (33% off); KitchenAid Stand Mixer: $200 (60% off); Keurig K525: $150 (12% off); Nutri Ninja Auto iQ: $90 (31% off)

Gift Guide: Cyber Monday Gifts

KitchenAid Stand Mixer | Samsung Galaxy Tablet | American Tourister luggage (spend $100 on luggage and get $25 off | Nutri Ninja Auto | Keurig K525

Best Buy

Notes – Like Target, Best Buy starts their sale on Sunday. But don’t hesitate to buy because their sales in individual products only last 1 day. That also means that there will be some sales on Monday that there weren’t on Sunday.

Specific Products – Dell UltraSharp TV: $250 (29% off); Dell Inspiron 15.6″ Laptop: $300 (25% off); Beats by Dr. Dre: $160 (58% off); Acer 11.6″ Touch Laptop: $180 (46% off)

SHARING YOUR HEALTH EXPERIENCES PUBLICLY⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ I sh SHARING YOUR HEALTH EXPERIENCES PUBLICLY⁣⁣⁣
⁣
I share my personal health experiences online, which I find it somewhat easy to do because I've been talking publicly - albeit to a smaller audience - since my health problems started in 2001. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
If you share something online, you need to be prepared for people to ask questions or argue with you. Should they? No. Will that stop them? Also do. ⁣
⁣
That's one of the reasons that talking online about what can be trauma is not easy or for everyone. That's why it's important to practice self-care and to consciously think about what you want to share online before you do it. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
For example, I generally only talk publicly about a health situation once it has passed, especially if it's an emergency. I also make sure that I'm in a good place mentally before I talk about it. That way, I don't share things I'll regret sharing publicly later. It also helps me be less anxious about sharing these details.⁣⁣⁣
⁣
And I don't share everything! There's lot of stuff that I haven't talked about not only online but with people in real life. It might seem like I share everything I've experienced, but I don't. ⁣

I’ve been on IVIG since September. So what does su I’ve been on IVIG since September. So what does success look like? ⁣
⁣
*This is all just for me and my case!*⁣
⁣
1️⃣ I haven't gotten sick at all since I started, not even a cold. ⁣
2️⃣ My lungs are clear of any ground glass opacities, which was what pushed us over to finally doing IVIG regularly. ⁣
3️⃣ We feel better about saying that I don't have any infections. Because symptoms are often signs of the body fighting an infection, we couldn't always trust that I wasn't sick because I didn't have symptoms. ⁣
4️⃣ Because of all of this, we're increasing my next Rituxan dose! This will mean better RA symptoms and hopefully no new illnesses for a few years.⁣

Can we talk about fatigue for a sec? ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Fatigue Can we talk about fatigue for a sec? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
Fatigue is so much more than being tired. It's sleeping 10 hours at night and then struggling to stay awake during the day. It's trouble focusing because, even though you just had 3 cups of coffee, you're thinking about sleep. It's needing to factor rest in during the day because you have plans at night. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
It's a lot. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
It's no secret that I have multiple chronic illnesses. But did you know that all of them - all 11+ of them - have fatigue as a symptom? Sometimes the fatigue is worse than the pain and, uh, I live with a lot of pain.⁣⁣
⁣
This picture was taken when I was super anemic and waiting for 4 iron infusions. Now, months later, I can see it. And I also don't know how I got through the months of that anemia. ⁣
