Black Friday

Here are some Costa Rica-themed gifts for your loved ones (or for yourself!).

A look at the human tendencies that draw shoppers to Black Friday like a moth to a flame. (A flame that's half-off, one day only.)

While two of the biggest shopping days – Black Friday and Christmas – are quickly approaching, Costa Rican lawmakers are working to pass legislation that improves controls and consumer protection of e-commerce transactions, an area where the country lags.

Costa Ricans have wholeheartedly embraced the U.S. shopping phenomenon that is Black Friday.
