Point, click, buy. On Cyber Monday, consumers take to the Internet to bag bargains.

So what are we buying? The top two most searched-for products today are the Kindle Fire and Ugg boots, according to Experian Marketing Services, a provider of digital marketing and analyzing consumer data for merchants.

The retailer most popular with online shoppers is Walmart. Best Buy is second, followed by     Amazon, Sears and Target,  Experian says.

Expect a spending frenzy from the fuzzy slipper set. IHS Global Insight predicts online holiday sales of $79 billion, compared to $67 billion last year.

Old school look for a new age from Land’s End

High tech meets tradition in the needlepoint iPad case from Land’s End.

The sturdy sleeve is embellished with anchors, which gives it a nautical vibe and makes it a good choice for guys or gals. There’s an option for monogramming, should you desire the personal touch, dear chap.

While the case will protect your tablet from getting dinged while transporting  it from home to the Wifi cafe, this isn’t one of those cases you can use as a stand. Consider it a low-tech solution, an old school art form that will keep your iPad comfy, cozy and safe.

The case is currently sale priced at $39.99.

Like the look? You also can get a plaid needlepoint case for your Kindle or Nook e-reader.
