Although more people shopped over this year’s Thanksgiving weekend than in 2015, they managed to spend less, says the National Retail Federation. We’re in favor of both trends. Be pickier and thriftier about what you buy and everyone will end up a winner.
As we leap into the holiday shopping fray today, our editors’ goal is to buy well-made items that are both beautiful and useful. In that spirit, we’ve rounded up the best sales and deals for Cyber Monday 2016:
