Singles' Day 2026

Singles' Day might not be familiar to everyone yet, but it has grown into one of the biggest shopping events in the world. What started as a celebration of being single is now also about treating yourself. This year, Little Wonderland is joining the celebration with 15% off almost everything during our Black Friday Month. The perfect opportunity to restock your skincare favourites or discover something new.

What is Singles' Day?

Singles' Day originated in China, where it became popular among university students in the 1990s. It started as a lighthearted alternative to Valentine's Day, celebrating the joy of being single.

Today, Singles' Day has grown into an international shopping event. Its popularity has increased significantly since 2009, when major Chinese online retailers began using the occasion to offer special discounts. What was once a single day of celebration has now turned into an extended shopping event filled with exciting deals.

Tip

Singles' Day isn't just celebrated by people who are single. November 11 also holds special meaning for some couples. The date is sometimes given a romantic interpretation, symbolising finding 'the one'.

Why is Singles' Day celebrated on November 11?

November 11 was chosen for a reason. According to the most popular explanation, the four ones in 11/11 represent four single people. That's why Singles' Day is also known as 11.11.

Although the day originally focused on celebrating being single, it has become an opportunity for everyone to treat themselves or surprise someone else with a thoughtful gift.
