Presidents Day is, as holidays go, a pretty obscure one. There are no barbecues, no family get-togethers, no exchanges of gifts, and depending on where you work, you might not even get the day off. But for online shoppers, Presidents Day is a biggie, as online retailers love to use the day to break out some of their best sales.
