Shoppers bought more than 18 million toys and more than 13 million fashion items on Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined, according to a statement. In total, the 180 million items sold over a five-day period from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday broke records, with Amazon selling millions more products than in the same period of 2017.
