1: From $13: Live succulents and plants to spruce up your home
Succulents are nature’s perfect solution for those with black thumbs: This attractive, trendy greenery requires very little care to thrive thanks to special adaptations that allow their oversized leaves to store water. Consequently, you’ll only need to water them about once a week for maximum results, with two to three times a week sufficient in winter months. And right now, you can save 20 to 25% on hand-selected succulent variety packs as Amazon’s Deal of the Day, with prices starting at $12.99. This pictured assorted pack of mini succulents, regularly $38.99, fall by 23% to $29.99. 16 plants are included in this purchase and each one comes fully rooted in soil in a 2-inch square pot. They're also backed by the store, so if you get an unhealthy or damaged succulent, you’ll be issued a full refund or a replacement.

2. $50 off: A program that will help you learn a new language
Finding yourself with more time on your hands than usual? Why not broaden your horizons with a new skillset? It’s the perfect time to, say, take up a new language, as Amazon is offering Rosetta Stone’s Unlimited Lifetime Access Bundle, typically $199, for $149 today. With this option, you’ll get lifetime access to the language program software of your choice (choose between French, German, Italian, Spanish or English), as well a grammar guide and a dictionary. With a heavy emphasis on pronunciation, speaking and listening skills, users will often correlate photos with vocabulary words. When we tried the service out, we found that while its design was a bit outdated, this accelerated learning approach allowed us to quickly form a solid foundation in our language of choice.

3. Up to 40% off: Name-brand tools you can trust
DeWalt makes some of our favorite tools on the market, including the best circular saw money can buy (the DCS391B, $129), so we were definitely excited to see the brand’s wares up for grabs at up to 40% off as another of Amazon’s Deals of the Day. At 37% off, for instance, is this five-piece 20-Volt Max Cordless Drill Combo Kit, which drops from $599 to $379. This same set is going for $599 or more everywhere else. It comes packed with home improvement essentials, including a half-inch hammerdrill, a lithium ion reciprocating saw, a quarter-inch impact driver, a circular saw and an ion work light. You’ll also get a contractor bag to keep your new tools organized. Amazon customers seemed pleased with the purchase, with 85% giving it a perfect 5-star rating. Individual tools are also up for grabs, but this sale is only good through today, so you’ll want to grab them while you can.
4. Less than $40: A best-selling facial steamer to help unclog your pores
Those with clogged pores know how exactly hard it can be to get rid of blackheads. To make the task a little easier, however, there’s the NanoSteamer—a three-in-one facial steaming device that’s meant to help open your pores, allowing you to better extract gunk that may be hiding beneath the surface level of your skin. It comes with a five-piece stainless-steel blemish and extractor kit, a water-pouring cup, a manual, and, of course, the actual device, which can also double as a humidifier or a towel warmer. According to the company, it works by combining conventional heating elements with an “ultra-sonic vaporizer” to produce negatively charged “nano steam.” More than 4,500 Amazon shoppers have vouched for this product, claiming that it did indeed help to open up pores for impurity removal, clearing up skin in the process.

5. A 23% discount: This bubble umbrella that will keep you bone dry
With heavy summer rains on the way, having a good umbrella on hand is a must. This Totes Bubble Umbrella, once $19.50 and on sale for $15, performed surprisingly well in testing. Not only did it keep us dry, thanks to its unique, all-encompassing bubble design, it held up against strong winds. Since it’s clear, it’s also plenty easy to navigate with, since you can keep your head up as you walk. What's more, it takes up less real estate on super crowded streets, since it's not as wide as your average umbrella. The one downside? It’s not exactly a joy to tote around, since it’s so big. Hey, if it means not getting wet in a downpour, however, it’s an inconvenience we’re willing to bear!
