For the small businesses that can participate, Cyber Monday is a great opportunity for a few things: big exposure, keeping return customers happy and returning, and also (at its best) padding the coffers of a relatively new company.
It's also an opportunity for shoppers to "vote" with their money. So if you want to encourage a diverse, competitive marketplace that also rewards innovation, you are in luck!
If you want the best thing possible at the lowest price possible, it pays to have a lot of people out there trying to sell you that one thing (and trying very hard to make the best one of it) — and small companies are a vital part of that equation.
By virtue of being outside the mainstream, they're often the first places real, smart innovation occurs. If you shop there first, you don't have to wait to buy the replicates giant businesses eventually make of what they're creating right now.
Below, we've rounded up 50 Cyber Monday deals offered by small companies we love to shop at, so you can discover new things or save on what's already on your wish list. Since most of these newcomers are direct-to-consumer, you can do all that while eating leftover pie in your pajamas — exhibit A of the wonders of the 21st century.
Be sure to also check out our other guides to Cyber Monday deals on Insider Picks. We've got guides to the best deals at major retailers like Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.
