Today is Giving Tuesday, a day of fundraising for non-profits that comes on the heels of several of the biggest shopping days of the year.

Cyber Monday yesterday racked in record sales for online retailers, and over the Black Friday weekend, millions more people shopped online than in stores for the first time ever.

Here & Now's Robin Young talks with Jason Del Rey (@DelRey), senior editor for commerce at Recode, about this year's trends in holiday shopping.

This segment aired on November 29, 2016.
