I bought quite a few tshirts from them through the years and they are all in pretty good condition years later! T-shirt prices start at $7 such as this adorkable “I’m not procrastinating, it’s a Side Quest” 🙂

The Adorama daily deals have a special treat for Cyber Monday CaNikoNian shoppers, a LENZE DAYE:

NOT to be left behind, NewEgg has its own Cyber Monday sale. CAUTION if you have a big monitor or bright color settings, it’s blind-o-vision and permanent retina damage colors! 😉

The headliner Woot daily deals is a BAG the BAGS sale, but not of the camera kind. Of the luggage/travel kind!

TIRED of spending and prefer something ZERO COST to you – as lizard-people loving Andrew Huberman likes to say? The headliner Creative Live on-air free-streaming class starting at 12pm ET is “Get Started with Lifestyle Family Photography” with Elena S Blair, 4 hours and 45 minutes long, so multiple reruns through the day.

The Cyber Monday at Amazon looks exactly like the regular Gold Box but it says Cyber Monday instead 😉

Over 200 ebooks from famous authors make up the Cyber Monday Kindle daily deals. Because reading is fun-da-mental. OR you can do like I do – read the Kindle sample and imagine the rest of the book. This way, you will never be disappointed with the ending 🙂

Like books but don’t have time or eye-energy to read? Audible has a Cyber Monday sale of their DRM-y audiobooks as well!

Speaking of learning, Rosetta Stone is offering a lifetime membership to all 25 (actually 23) of their languages for a one-time payment of $149. 23 because it has two Englishes (US, UK) and two Spanishes (Spain and Latin America).
