What Is Singles Day?
So, what is Singles Day and where did it originate?
Also known as 'Double 11', Singles Day originated in China as a day that celebrates singlehood in the same way that Valentine's Day celebrates coupled-up people. Celebrated on November 11th as the '11/11' features four ones each representing single individuals. Originally spawned as an anti-Valentine's holiday, the event has since transformed into a much more positive day that celebrates people's independence. People who celebrate it will use the holiday as a chance to take part in fun activities such as blind dates and speed dating, going out with friends or even having pamper sessions and going for massages.
Another big aspect of Singles Day is that people will also use it as an opportunity to treat themselves to something special, whether it be diamond jewellery, a new handbag, perfume, new clothes or any other items that they enjoy. It is because of this element of Singles Day, that it has since ballooned into one of the biggest shopping events of the calendar year next to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. E-commerce platforms and retailers across the globe will offer exclusive discounts and special deals on and in the lead-up to Singles Day so that both singles and couples can indulge in a little bit of retail therapy. Some brands will even theme their discounts to the day, offering unconventional discounts such as 11% off or 22% off (11+11).
What Is The Shiels Singles Day Sale?
As the home of the biggest range of jewellery, watches and more at unbeatable prices, naturally, you can expect Shiels to get in on the Singles Day action. Starting on Thursday, the 9th of November and running until Sunday, the 12th, Shiels will be offering an extra 11% Off* storewide when you use code 'SINGLES11' when checking out your items. This means not only can you score additional discounts on catalogue items that are currently up to 60% Off* but also potentially on items that aren't included in our Pre-Christmas Savings campaign.
So, whether you're keen to treat yourself to a new pair of hoop earrings or that diamond tennis bracelet you have always wanted, there really is no better time than with our Singles Day sale. If you're more in the mood to spoil others, you can also use Singles Day as a chance to get some of your Christmas gifts ticked off for your friends and family. Whether you're on the hunt for some elegant pearls for mum, a user-friendly smartwatch for dad, some chains for your partner, cute bangles for your sister or a couple of jewellery sets for all your besties, you're certain to find some ripper deals this Singles Day.
