Cyber Monday is just like Black Friday but without the pepper spray, mob mentality, and Auntie Anne’s pretzel stand.

While you might not find $2 waffle makers today or a deeply discounted 32-inch plasma television by a Chinese company that not even Consumer Reports has heard of, the Daily Dot found some of the poshest Cyber Monday deals to make you feel like an A-lister.

LivingSocial.com
The daily deals website brought its A-game today,offering decent discounts at a variety of retailers. Our favorite: $50 credit for $25 at men’s clothier Bonobos. There’s also a $200 credit for $100 at jeweler Blue Nile and $30 for $15 at Threadless, a T-shirt printer. Skip Groupon’s deals today, which pale in comparison (unless you’re interested in Mike Ditka’s Runaway Beach Resort).

Gilt Groupe
Gilt Groupe, and its plethora of sister sites (like JetSetter), are offering sales on upscale items like men’s and women clothes, ritzy rugs, and even a jet. A majority of sales won’t begin until noon ET, and new sales start hourly today so keep checking. One “deal” that did catch our eye is renting a Virgin America jet for you and your closest 146 friends for just $60,000. We’ll see you in Las Vegas.

Fab.com
Get $10 in free credits today at Fab.com, another flash-sale website that specializes more on homewares and accessories. With those credits, get a Everyman Jack grooming set starting at just $14 for your boyfriend or an awesomely nerdy helvetica necklace for $4 with your credit. And for every $100 you spend today, you get $10 in free Fab.com credits with no limit.

Abercrombie & Kent
High-brow travel planner Abercrombie & Kent has a ton of worldly destinations on sale. Escape to Jordan for 8 days at just $2,100 per person or try out Thailand for a week at just $1,660, which regularly is priced at nearly $5,000. Of course, Paris is always romantic this time of year, and there is a six day package for $2,500.
