Cyber Monday is typically the first Monday after Thanksgiving, and it’s become well-known for the extraordinary discounts offered to online shoppers on that day. This year, retailers aren’t waiting until Monday. They’re making deals available right now. Kohl’s is offering 500 “Early Bird” online specials. They call it early Black Friday. RELATED: How to Get the Best Black Friday Deals Why are retailers offering Cyber Monday now? One of the reasons is the prevalence of mobile devices which enable shoppers to shop anywhere, at any time. It’s estimated that 24 percent of shopping this holiday weekend will be done on mobile devices.  Among the many deep discounts Kohl’s is offering starting today, shoppers may get a Vivitar 12. 1 mega pixel digital camera that’s regularly priced at $149. 99 for $59.99. On Amazon. com, sales are already available under a promotion the company’s calls Black Friday Deals Week.

Stan Honda/AFP/Getty Images People crowd the aisles inside Macy's department store Nov. 25, 2011, in New York after the midnight opening to begin the "Black Friday" shopping weekend. Have you ever been out shopping for other people during the holiday season, and the sales were so good you couldn't help but buy something for yourself? The National Retail Federation calls that self-gifting, and says that this year consumers who do it plan to spend an average of about $140. Spokeswoman Kathy Grannis says that's the most in the 10 years the NRF has been asking shoppers about the trend. "People really look forward to the holiday season and the discounts that are offered, because they know that they're going to get items significantly less than they may have any other time of the year.
