Black Friday Traditions
Black Friday is the busiest retail shopping day of the year. Why black? It refers to retailers being well into the positive “black”, opposed to the negative “red” due to their high volume of transactions and sales. When and where the term and tradition originated is a bit up to debate, but most believe the tradition of beginning your Christmas or Hanukah shopping the day after Thanksgiving began in the 1930s Philadelphia. It wasn’t until the 1960s they day was giving an official name.
What To Expect When Shopping On Black Friday

If you have never experienced the crowds of the day after shopping, then you must prepare yourself. Many stores open at the crack of dawn, or before. Some even open on Thanksgiving evening, or at midnight. Stores that offer rock bottom prices, often have shoppers standing in long lines, or camping out the night before opening. Why? To access the limited quantity of rock bottom electronics, clothing, toys, and more!
Black Friday Evolves

With the growing popularity of online shopping, Cyber Monday was born in 2005—which is the busiest online sales shopping day of the year. Since the day after and Cyber Monday sales are geared toward major brands, Small Business Saturday is the day after Black Friday—in which shoppers are encouraged to visit their small local retailers.
As the popularity of these 3 shopping days continues to evolve, many stores start many of their sales early. This allows shoppers who aren’t a fan of the crowds the ability to benefit from the sales. However, there will always be special same-day sales.

Fall is in full swing, meaning you are sure to be out enjoying your favorite fall activities. From hiking through your favorite trail to enjoy the beauty of the changing leaves, to hunting, fishing, cycling, and more—you must not forget to protect your eyes.
​
Why Choose Bamboo Sunglasses? 
As you can see, PLANK eyewear is designed to be a stylish alternative to standard plastic frames—but our wood frames are also durable enough to keep up with your active lifestyle. Choose from bamboo, walnut, pear, or zebra wood.

It Might Be Chilly But Your Eyes Still Require Protection 
Many cold weather climates enjoy crystal clear skies, and bright sunny days. Although the sun feels good, it can create a glare that makes it difficult to see the trail or path ahead. Increase visibility, and protect your eyes with our stylish UVA/UVB sunglasses.

Dress Up Your Casual Attire 
While the bulk of your fall outdoor attire is more function than fashion, you can personalize your outfit with sunglasses, footwear, hats, gloves, and scarves.
Our goal is to provide you with stylish and functional year-round wood sunglasses. Keep a pair in your car just in case, and mix and match your favorite frames to complement your signature style.
