Two in five Americans aren’t planning to shop Cyber Monday this year, according to new research .

A survey of 2,000 U.S. adults revealed that 42% don’t intend to knock out their gift lists in what was once dubbed the “easiest” way possible, and another 54% share the same sentiment about shopping in-store on Black Friday.
