Pop-up shops have been appearing all over New York City for the holiday season. However, Glam4Good pop-up shop was quite different from the rest. This shop was organized for children who live in the Lower East Side affected by Hurricane Sandy. Hundreds of children were invited to the pop-up shop where different items were donated from different designers around New York City. Each child was given two empty shopping bags, which they were allowed to fill up with anything they needed.
The top musical performers united at Madison Square Garden last night for a unforgettable concert intended to raise money for Sandy Relief. The concert, which was completely sold out, was available for over two billion people to watch. The stars performing urged everyone to give what they can to help Sandy relief, and by the end of the night the total amount raised was more than 30 million dollars. The amount of money raised is expected to rise as more people continued to donate throughout the night.

Cyber Monday 2012 became the largest online shopping day concluding with sales of almost $1.5 billion.

Another factor that created the 30.3% increase from last year was the use of mobile devices during cyber Monday. Reports show that sales from mobile devices were up 96% percent from the year before. Many online retailers were so successful with their cyber Monday sales that they extended them into Tuesday.
