Top Tech Picks for You on Singles' Day

Singles' Day is here—an annual celebration of being single, and for many, the ultimate opportunity to indulge in massive online shopping sprees.

Originally started in the 1990s by university students in China as a celebration of being single - with the date 11/11 representing four "ones," symbolizing single people - it has since evolved into the world's largest online shopping day, reportedly gathering $156.4 billion in sales last year, according to Queue-it, far surpassing Black Friday's $9.8 billion per Sender and Cyber Monday's $12.4 billion in sales, as reported by DemandSage.

The event is majorly backed by Alibaba, a global online marketplace that connects businesses with suppliers, manufacturers, and wholesalers, and has been that way since 2009 and is celebrated on November 11 through a 24-hour shopping extravaganza that features massive discounts across various categories, including electronics, fashion, home goods, and more.

For Single's Day celebrations, everyone, including those who are not single can participate by catching some of the best deals for gifts to get their single friends, luckily for you, we've got all that, and more, covered right here on Techloy.
