What to treat yourself to in the Singles' Day sales if you need cheering up



From Lily Collins‘ character in Emily in Paris to Bridget Jones and Emma Watson, we’re forever championing strong and independent single women here at British GLAMOUR. Repeat after me: you don’t need a partner to make you complete. We’re also forever encouraging the self-gifting of a new beauty product or a fashion investment piece if you have the means to spend money on yourself. The power of retail therapy is REAL.

So, it was music to our ears when we discovered that there’s actually an entire day dedicated to both of those things. Yep: today is Singles’ Day – a day-long shopping event all about spoiling yours truly and showering yourself with gifts (frugally). Apt, as we find ourselves in dire need of cheering up in lockdown 2.0.

Here’s everything you need to know about Singles’ Day 2020, plus the best Singles’ Day deals from the likes of LELO, Net-A-Porter and Kiehl’s that are *seriously* worth shopping.

What is Singles’ Day?

Singles’ Day originated in China in the 19090s, when university students would celebrate being single on the 11th November (or 11/11). Traditionally, lots of singles’ parties and blind place on the day – where the date’s line-up of “ones” represent said single people. Retailers slowly got wind of the celebrations, and began offering fashion sales and beauty sales so that single people could treat themselves on the day.

In more recent years, Singles’ Day has gained momentum in America, and in the last couple of years, the shopping event has become increasingly popular British retailers. In fact, there are more fashion and beauty brands taking part this year than ever before.
