Your Cyber Monday cheat sheet: These are the deals you need to know about by Ellen Hoffman and Jeff Dunn on Nov 29, 2015, 8:30 PM The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like. Business Insider has affiliate partnerships, so we may get a share of the revenue from your purchase.  Now that Black Friday is over, and pre-Cyber Monday sales from this weekend are too, it's on to Cyber Monday.
If you care about scoring those not-to-miss deals on this year's hottest electronics and holiday gifts, this is the time to add some stuff to your cart, if you haven't done so already. Thankfully, you can shop from the comfort of your couch or your desk today, as not everyone has the ability (or desire) to shop in stores during the workweek. Virtually every big-name retailer is hosting its own online shopping event for the occasion. Amazon, Best Buy, Macy's, Microsoft, Target, and Walmart are just a few of the juggernauts with deals we're keeping an eye on over the course of today. Amazon is still, arguably, the leader of the pack, but it's far from the only store with covetable discounts on everything from Bluetooth speakers to budget TVs to drones, from media streamers to tablets and e-readers. Whether you’re looking for in-ear, on-ear, over-ear, exercise-focused, or Bluetooth cans, you'll find a truly overwhelming number of headphone options worth buying as well, at a number of websites. And whether you're in the market for the best overall laptops or the most reliable budget ones, or a bag to carry them in when you're en route to and from work, there's a plethora at prices that beg the word 'steal', if you know where to look. Outside of the tech space, which really does dominate the day, there are clothes, shoes, watches, luggage, home goods, and thousands upon thousands more items seeing steep discounts, too. (Check out our list of more than 40 Cyber Monday sales for more information on them.) To help lessen the time you spend searching for deals this Cyber Monday, we sorted through the massive selection to find the ones we think are actually worth your money. We’ll update the following list as the day rolls along, so check back in to see if anything sells out or goes up for grabs.

 And now something for the one-percenters out there. The vast majority of chairs haven’t had a spot in the MoMA or their own Wikipedia entry, but the Eames Lounge Chair isn’t like most chairs. It’s been widely imitated in the almost sixty years since it was first introduced, and costs enough to make actually sitting in it feel like a questionable decision.
If you’re fortunate enough to be able to afford one of these things, however, Design Within Reach has them, along with a number of other, more affordable Herman Miller desks and chairs, available for 15% off. - List price: $4,859
