bl1Black Friday is a phenomenon of its own, often nearly trumping the excitement of formal holidays and family gatherings as retail madness overtakes our Thanksgiving landscape.

Meant as a profitable day for businesses, taking them out of the red and far into the black at year’s end, this is often a shopping event for pros–and they will tell you there are rules. Be prepared. Have the kids and pets squared away so you can sneak out in the darkness of the wee hours, debit card at the ready. Work with an even more bargain-crazed partner in an organized fashion. Know your stuff, and ask about price matching. And if at all possible, take advantage of the digital age, and enjoy your bargain hunting bonanza online instead, comfy on the couch, with a fire roaring and a mug of hot chocolate steaming nearby.

As 3D printing has truly begun to hit the mainstream for both the office and the home, this is definitely the year to make a 3D printer the perfect, showstopping gift. There are currently plenty of folks out there saying, “Hmmm….I too could do this–or that–if only I had a 3D printer.” And while shopping, you can really make all the competition in the marketplace work for you, taking advantage of lower prices, and especially all the following deals.

We’ve been keeping an eye on the discounts and promos rolling in recently for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and have a number of them listed, with plenty of enticing deals.
