Top Cyber Monday Buys

Whether you've already hit the Black Friday sales or you avoided the chaos all together, today is the day to stop waiting in line and start shopping online. Today is Cyber Monday, the biggest day of the year for online sales. We have some great deals of our own you can find on our Cyber Monday page, so you can save money while you finish up (or start) your Christmas shopping. The best part? You don't even have to get dressed and leave the house. And this year we're trying something new, Cyber Monday deals extend all week long.

Holiday shopping can get chaotic, especially with all the sales. If you want to take advantage of some Cyber Monday deals but don't know where to start, here are the biggest categories to save in today:

Electronics: Gadgets are on everyone's wish list, whether you're looking for a new TV for the family or an iPod for your teenager. Since nearly everyone is shopping for electronics during the holidays, that's where you can find some of the biggest Cyber Monday deals. TVs are one of the hottest items to save on this year, like this 55-inch Toshiba LCD TV. IPads are another hot item, and this 32GB White Apple iPad 2 is a steal.

Toys: Kids know what they want when it comes to toys. That's why toys are one of the top products to shop for today. What's the appeal of buying toys on Cyber Monday? For one, you don't have to wait in line at the store just to fight for the last toy on the shelf. LEGO is always popular, and Harry Potter is bigger than ever this year, so this LEGO Harry Potter Battle for Hogwarts set is a hot item at a really great price.

Jewelry: The more expensive something is, the better the Cyber Monday deals usually are. That's why sales on jewelry and watches are so popular. Watches are a huge trend this year, and a great price on one, like this women's white Fossil watch, makes the perfect stocking stuffer for her. Want a little more sparkle? This 10k white gold diamond band has plenty of sparkle for the holidays.

Media: A lot of the year's summer blockbusters come out on DVD and Blu-ray during the holidays, so Cyber Monday is your chance to get your family's favorites at possibly the lowest price all year, like The Lion King in Blu-ray 3D. It's also a good time to pick up hot new book and music releases. I like to grab box sets of my old favorites, like The Hunger Games. What about your gadget-loving family members? A Barnes & Noble Nook eBook reader is the perfect gift (and today's Buzz Buy, so the more people buy it, the more Club O rewards you'll get).

If these savings aren't enough, you can also get a 10-percent-off coupon by liking Overstock.com on Facebook; then share it so your family and friends can get 10 percent off, too. Plus, you get free shipping on your entire order, no matter how big!
