Amazon unveils Cyber Monday deals

SEATTLE -- One of the biggest online shopping days has arrived, and Amazon is offering customers a variety of discounts.

The online retailer will feature more than 75,000 sales starting Monday and throughout the week on a variety of products, including toys, electronics, video games and books.

While electronics tend to be big sellers on Cyber Monday, Amazon said that so far this holiday season, the "most-watched deal" has been the Mermaid Tail Blanket.



Amazon's own products will also be on sale on Monday: The voice-controlled Echo speaker will be priced at $139.99 and the Tap Bluetooth speaker will be $89.99. Both sale prices match what the company offered as part of its Black Friday sales.

Cyber Monday is a big sales day for Amazon. Last year, shoppers ordered more than 54 million items -- 629 per second -- on the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Amazon Prime members, who pay $99 a year, will get early access to Lightning Deals. There will also be specific deals for shoppers using Alexa, the voice assistant in Echo.
