It’s time to embrace and celebrate being single.

Last week, Emma Watson coined the term self-partnered and said she is embracing being in a relationship, with herself.

Well, singletons in China have been celebrating themselves for years with a whole day dedicated to buying gifts.

It’s one of the biggest shopping days in their calendar – like an alternative Black Friday.

And now it’s spreading elsewhere. It is, of course, Armistice Day today and people suggest moving Singles’ Day to another date in the UK as it gets more popular, but you can expect to see lots of deals around because of the tradition that started elsewhere.

You might not have heard of the day but experts are predicting almost £1.3bn in UK sales alone today.

The Shopping for Christmas 2019 report, commissioned by VoucherCodes.co.uk and carried out by the Centre for Retail Research (CRR), reveals that the UK is forecast to have the highest Singles’ Day sales in Europe for the 24-hour discount event.

Purchases with participating retailers are expected to increase by £170m on last year to reach £1.29bn in 2019.

Anita Naik, Lifestyle Editor at VoucherCodes.co.uk commented: ’Sceptics may consider the awareness of Singles’ Day to be relatively low, but Black Friday was not-so-long-ago viewed apprehensively by British shoppers as an American tradition.

‘It has since grown into a monumental discount event, taking in sales of over £8.57bn in the UK alone in 2018.

‘This year’s Singles’ Day sales are expected to amount to 15.1% of Black Friday’s total weekend revenue, but considering the years of hype around Black Friday, this is an impressive figure for a fairly unknown event.’
