Singles' Day: 11th November 2024
Singles Day began as a 'spoof holiday' that was celebrated by single University students in the 1990s. In 2009, retailers decided to piggyback off the trend by turning it into a shopping event. It has since become one of the biggest online and offline shopping events of the year with retailers across the board getting involved in it.
