Before 1993, there was just one day a year where singles were reminded of their lack of a significant other and how empty their beds were in the morning – Valentine’s Day.
But that year, Nanjing University created Singles’ Day or Bachelors’ Day, which seemingly had the same purpose as Valentine’s Day – to make singles depressed.
In reality, it was actually created to celebrate singlehood rather than lament it, which is what singles do on 11 Nov every year.
That’s why single folks all over the globe use this day as an excuse to treat themselves, as a reminder of the gloriousness of being unattached.
Now, with more online stores than stars in the sky, there isn’t exactly a dearth of options when it comes to the best deals to get your hands on that special day.
Reader: But there are so many deals out there, which one should I go for?
That’s a great question, dear fictional reader. Fortunately for you and your single soul, I’ve compiled a list of the best 11.11 deals out there, so get your wallets out, dust your kitchen, and bathe your dog, because here we go!
