After a long weekend, it’s always nice to ease back into the work mentality. For me, that means taking a few minutes between reading emails to do a little online window shopping. While I was browsing Amazon, I came across four deals on awesome products that have me tempted to reach for my wallet. I thought you might want to hear about them too. From a novelty item to smart devices and charging cables you can actually use comfortably, there might be something on this list that’ll cure those “it still feels like a Monday” blues.

1. The most popular toilet nightlight for under $10

When nature calls in the middle of the night, the absolute worst feeling is being blinded by your bathroom lights. This motion-sensing LED light is easier on the eyes and guides you to your target—and right now it’s only $7.50, down from $10. You can choose from five levels of brightness and 16 different colors. Just pop in three AAs, snap the light onto your toilet bowl, and enjoy the most ridiculous but awesome nightlight in your bathroom.

3. Amazon Echo speakers for 20% off

 

Having a smart speaker like the Amazon Echo lineup in your home might sound like a novelty, but it’s actually more useful than you think. Put one in your kitchen for hands-free timers and help with measurements, use one in your bedroom for alarms and morning updates on news, weather and your to-do list, or enjoy your favorite music without having to search your phone or hook up a million different devices. Right now the Echo, the smaller Echo Dot, and the more visual Echo Show are all on sale for 20% off. The only catch is you need to be a Prime member, but if you’re not you can sign up for a 30-day free trial to take advantage of the discount.

4. Long, tangle-free charging cables for $10

It always seems like the charging cables that come included with your devices are never quite long enough to charge and use your device at the same time. If you’re sick of contorting yourself just to check a text or send a quick email, why not treat yourself to a longer cord? These Anker Powerline cables are a personal favorite, especially with 6 feet of maneuverability and a discount putting them around $10. The braided design prevents tangles, and they charge phones, tablets, and anything else you need charger quickly.
