The tools Anna DeGuzman uses to make her VidCon experience extra magical

Mashable - 7 hours 22 min ago

As a professional close-up magician and illusionist, Anna DeGuzman doesn’t need the help of any special edits to make her content look magic.

As a creator, however, she does make sure she’s stocked up with the right gear to make her content look its best for her 752,000 TikTok followers, 234,000 Instagram followers, and 36,600 YouTube subscribers.

We caught up with her at VidCon 2026 to talk about all her favorite content creation essentials for making her tricks pop.  

iPhone 17 Pro

When it comes to filming, DeGuzman said, "The best camera is the one you have on you," and most of the time, that's her iPhone. Thankfully, it has the performance to match its convenience. “I love using my iPhone. Usually, the latest iPhone has a great camera, wide angle, pretty much flip it around over the FaceTime camera.” DeGuzman opted for silver for her 17 Pro.

DeGuzman called out a Mashable favorite, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. “I swear by it. It's honestly still small and compact enough that you can bring it everywhere, and the quality of it is just insane. [It also] has a built-in gimbal, which is amazing. That's why I love using it.”

OnlyFans star Sophie Rain dreams of homesteading

Mashable - 7 hours 22 min ago

OnlyFans star Sophie Rain is often seen lounging in a bikini on Instagram, TikTok, and X for her combined 27 million followers, but on the day of her interview with Mashable, she was experiencing something much less sexy: busted water pipes.

"I've been dealing with no water all morning, and that's how my day has been going," she said. Rain, who has farm animals like cows and goats, had to give them water bottles earlier in the day because her hoses weren't working. Usually, Rain's morning routine includes checking on her animals and making sure predators haven't gotten to them. "That's my biggest fear, waking up one morning and seeing a coyote," she said.

SEE ALSO: OnlyFans 'managers' take advantage of creators, BBC finds

But Rain's claim to fame has nothing to do with farmlife. She became well-known in 2024 as an OnlyFans star and creator of the content mansion, the Bop House. ("Bop" stands for "baddie on point," and is often used to refer to women who make sexy content online.)

Rain has since left Bop House but still sometimes creates social media content with other OnlyFans creators — including the controversial Piper Rockelle, the child YouTube star who started an OnlyFans account when she turned 18. 

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Rain is controversial, which isn't surprising in our increasingly non-anonymous, anti-porn internet. Age-verification laws, which are mandates in many U.S. states, the UK, and elsewhere, require proof of age like submitting one's government ID or a facial scan in order to access explicit content — or even content that's not explicit but the state deems restricted to adults, like certain Reddit threads. 

But Rain actually doesn't film porn and, in fact, she says she's never had sex. That's why GQ proclaimed her the "clean queen of the dirty internet" in early 2026. That could also contribute to her roaring success. The 20-something (while her profiles say she's 21, she told GQ she doesn't disclose her real age for privacy reasons) claims she's made $100 million on the platform — more on that below. And despite her lewd-seeming career, she's saving up to something more wholesome one day: homestead. 

The making of a $100 million OnlyFans star

In a 2024 interview with People, Rain said she grew up poor, and her family was on food stamps. She worked as a food server when she started her OnlyFans account in 2023, and while she said she was fired for her account, it quickly turned into a lucrative business. 

Rain started Bop House at the end of 2024, but left months later in July 2025. It hasn't stopped her success, though. The creator claims to have made over $100 million from the platform, though she had trouble providing a screenshot to Mashable when asked, and her team didn't respond to a screenshot request. She said her WiFi was acting up, though the video call with Mashable had clear service. In Nov. 2024, though, she posted a screenshot on X showing an OnlyFans income of over $43 million from one year on the platform.

"I still have my boundaries, I don't do certain things on the site that I'm not comfortable with."

$100 million or not, Rain is making bank on scantily clad and nude images of herself, if her lifestyle is any indication. She was most recently in Paris for its Fashion Week, making headlines for hanging out with looksmaxxer Clavicular. The latest TMZ headline: "More Than Friends-Maxxing ... V-Card in Danger?!?"

Rain told Mashable she'll never film herself having sex (when she eventually does have it). "I still have my boundaries, I don't do certain things on the site that I'm not comfortable with," she said.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The virgin label coincides with Rain's Christian values; she's not the only OnlyFans creator to profit from that seeming contradiction: Anya Lacey, a MAGA-loving Christian conservative, also posts nudes on OnlyFans. Both Rain and Lacey are Floridians and have spoken out against Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback, whose platform includes a "50 percent sin tax" on OnlyFans creators.

"Who are you to judge sin?" Rain said about the proposed tax in a CNN interview. "God is the only one who can judge sin." 

"I think that it's great," she said of OnlyFans to the news outlet. "It just has created so many opportunities for me, and I'm so thankful to even be here."

Rain reiterated the same sentiment to Mashable: "I'm literally just gonna keep going. I love doing what I do. I have fun. Really, it gives me a great opportunity, because I've made money online, so I can continue chasing and doing bigger things that I want to do."

And despite Project 2025 (the far-right blueprint for Donald Trump's second presidential term) outlining an outright porn ban and imprisoning its creators, Rain told Mashable she doesn't believe such a ban would ever pass. (Bans have been proposed in Michigan and elsewhere, but those bills haven't progressed to becoming laws, perhaps because it'd be a big First Amendment hurdle.)

"I believe that we have freedom of speech, freedom to do what we want, because we live in a free country," she told Mashable. "I don't think that we should be segregated essentially just because of what we do online."

"A lot of people think if you're on OnlyFans, you're immediately a porn star, and you're a slut, and all this," she said, pointing out that OnlyFans started as an "SFW" platform, meaning safe for work. The explicit side really took off after the majority of OnlyFans' parent company was sold to the founder of the porn site MyFreeCams, Leonid Radvinsky, who died earlier this year. That and the COVID lockdowns catapulted OnlyFans to being a household name, with the connotation being that it's pornographic.

Sophie Rain's advice for OnlyFans creators

But Rain reassures women that they don't have to make porn to make money on OnlyFans. "I met someone who just sells her recipes," she said. Earlier this year, Mashable interviewed a similar creator, Sophie Annaston, who makes six figures posting suggestive, non-nude content. 

"You have full autonomy over anything. You can do whatever you want," Rain said.

Her advice to budding OnlyFans creators? "Do what makes you happy. Do what makes you comfortable, putting the content out that you enjoy. You're not going to get tired of it," she said. 

"Do what makes you happy. Do what makes you comfortable, putting the content out that you enjoy. You're not going to get tired of it."

While she's set to continue posting content to her millions of followers, Rain's also pursuing her goal of being a homesteader. As she told GQ, she owns 20 acres of farm land and dreams of raising cattle and becoming a local butcher. 

"I really just want to carry on doing what my grandpa did, and taking care of farm animals, because I grew up doing that…I love doing it," she told Mashable. 

For now, though, Rain continues to create content and take care of her farm animals. She hasn't ventured into homestead content yet, but on her burner TikTok account ("where I can just absolutely brain rot," she said), Rain's FYP is all farm animals.

Learning a new language always sounds like a great idea. Finding the time — and sticking with it — is usually the harder part.

That’s one reason this Language Learner Lifetime Subscription Bundle stands out during Deal Days, our answer to Prime Day. Through June 28, it’s available for $29.97 (reg. $869.70), combining practical language learning with a massive library of professional development courses.

The centerpiece is uTalk, a language-learning platform used by more than 30 million people worldwide. Rather than focusing on grammar drills first, uTalk emphasizes useful vocabulary and real-world phrases that can help learners navigate everyday conversations, travel situations, and cultural experiences more confidently.

Users can choose six languages from a catalog of more than 140 options, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Arabic, and many others. Lessons feature recordings from native speakers, independently verified translations, pronunciation tools, speaking games, and offline access for learning on the go.

What makes the bundle especially interesting is that language learning is only half the story.

It also includes lifetime access to StackSkills Unlimited, a library of more than 1,000 online courses covering business, finance, marketing, technology, design, development, productivity, and other in-demand skills. More than 50 new courses are added each month, giving learners plenty of opportunities to explore new interests long after they’ve started their language journey.

This bundle is about investing in skills that remain useful for years, whether that’s ordering dinner in another country, expanding career opportunities, or finally tackling a subject that’s always sparked curiosity.

For lifelong learners, this Deal Days offer is a pretty compelling excuse to start something new.

A new platform gives you ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and more for life — now only $55

Mashable - 7 hours 22 min ago

TL;DR: ChatPlayground lets you send one prompt to multiple AI models, and it’s only $55 for Deal Days.

Opens in a new window Credit: ChatPlayground AI ChatPlayground AI: Lifetime Subscription (Unlimited Plan) $54.97
$619 Save $564.03   Get Deal

Picking the best AI model for a task gets pricey when each one charges $20 a month. ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, and Gemini Advanced all run their own subscriptions, so testing which one writes the best email or solves the trickiest coding problem adds up. If you want a way around that, try ChatPlayground AI. This platform gives you lifetime access to 20-plus AI models in a single interface, and an Unlimited Plan is on sale for $54.97 during Deal Days (reg. $619).

How does ChatPlayground compare AI models side by side?

Type one prompt, and you see responses from multiple models at once. If GPT-4o writes a stiff email and Claude writes a warm one, you’ll know which to keep. The same works for code, summaries, marketing copy, or creative writing. Instead of paying for several subscriptions and switching between tabs, you get one window with all the responses stacked up. For a piece of marketing copy, DeepSeek might land a sharper angle while Claude polishes the tone.

ChatPlayground includes GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet 4, Gemini 1.5 Flash, DeepSeek V3, Llama, Perplexity, and more than a dozen other models. The catalog updates as new models hit the market, so a license bought today still covers whatever drops six months from now. That makes it easy to try new releases without paying for a separate subscription each time. You can chat with one model at a time or fire a prompt at several simultaneously, depending on what you need.

Past the chat side, ChatPlayground includes image and PDF chat for parsing screenshots, research papers, or contracts. AI image generation runs alongside the text models. Prompt engineering tools help refine vague requests into something that pulls cleaner output. Saved conversation history keeps long projects organized, and priority support comes with the Unlimited Plan.

Stop paying separate fees for every AI tool you use. Until June 28 at 11:59 p.m. PT, you can get a ChatPlayground lifetime subscription for $54.97.

Microsoft 365 charges $99.99 a year for software you’ll never own. Pay for it for a decade and you’ve handed Microsoft a thousand bucks for Word and a few of its friends.

Office 2024 Home is only $114.97 (reg. $149.99), and Office 2024 Home & Business is $104.97 (reg. $249.99)

Office 2024 Home comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. Office 2024 Home & Business adds Outlook on top of those four for email and calendar management. Both versions install directly on one Mac or PC and run offline, so a dropped Wi-Fi connection won’t lock you out.

Amazon's first Prime Day sale event for 2026 is coming to an end, but the deals aren't slowing down just yet. If you've been taking this opportunity to shop around for items for your home and garden, there are still plenty of excellent discounts to explore. Robot lawn mowers, in particular, are having a real moment right now.

A few of Mammotion's robot lawn mowers have received major price cuts during the sale, and today is the last day you can take advantage of them. Whether you're looking for a hefty model to tackle a larger lawn, like the Luba 3 AWD 5000, or something that can tackle smaller yards like the Yuka mini 2 1000H, we've gathered up our favorite picks from the brand that are still sporting big discounts for Prime Day.

Time is running out to jump on these offers. Now is the time to make a move on the robot lawn mower deal that catches your eye.

$3,508 Save $1,059   Get Deal

This offer on Mammotion's Luba 3 AWD 5000 robot lawn mower is mighty impressive. It's a bundle that includes the robot mower, a garage, and a free gift of a maintenance stand. Normally the grand total of this bundle comes to $3,508, but it's currently on sale for $2,499 during Prime Day. That's a colossal saving totaling $1,059.

It's a robot lawn mower well worth the investment for lawn sizes up to 1.25 acres. Powered by two 165W motors, it features a Tri-Fusion Navigation System that combines 360° LiDAR technology, NetRTK, and Dual-Camera AI Vision. With this, the Luba 3 AWD 5000 can navigate through your yard, avoiding obstacles, to get an efficient trim.

It can also handle slopes (up to 80%) thanks to all-wheel drive and independent motors, and on top of that, it comes with a rechargeable 15Ah lithium battery that can run up to 215 minutes per charge.

Similar to the model above, Mammotion's Luba 3 AWD 3000 also comes bundled with a garage and a free maintenance stand. Usually this would cost $3,008, but not during Prime Day. Amazon has slashed $999 off that price, dropping it down to $2,009.

The Luba 3 AWD 3000 is also powered by two 165W motors and comes with the same Tri-Fusion Navigation Technology detailed above, alongside the ability to tackle some slopes, though there are a few differences to keep in mind. For instance, this model is built for slightly smaller lawn sizes around 0.75 acres. It also comes with a 12Ah rechargeable lithium battery that can keep mowing up to 175 minutes per charge.

If you don't want to go all-out with the model above, the Luba 3 AWD 3000 is another excellent Prime Day deal to keep in mind.

This robot mower is ideal for lawn sizes around 0.25 acres. Packed with a 6.1 Ah battery, it can tackle up to 2,690 square feet per charge, and it also features 360° LiDAR technology that helps it map out your yard so it can get an efficient cut done without running into obstacles that might slow it down.

For those who have a smaller lawn, the Mammotion Yuka mini 2 1000H robot lawn mower is the top pick for Prime Day.

Alienware gaming monitors are down to record-low prices on Prime Day — last chance to upgrade for less

Prime Day is an amazing opportunity for gamers to upgrade for less. The sale ends soon, bringing discounts across gaming gear, TVs, and accessories and hardware that usually cost a lot more.

Alienware is one of the bigger names in gaming monitors, with everything from premium displays to more affordable options that still focus on speed and smooth gameplay. If you've been thinking about upgrading your setup, Prime Day is usually one of the better times to shop.

We've picked two of the best Prime Day deals on Alienware gaming monitors available right now, though prices can change and more offers could still show up before the sale ends. We'll keep updating this page if new deals land.

If you want a higher-end option, the Alienware 34 QD-OLED Curved Gaming Monitor is sitting at a record-low Prime Day price of $614.99. This is the monitor for people who care as much about image quality as raw speed. The OLED panel delivers deeper blacks, stronger contrast, and more vibrant color, which can make games look noticeably richer and more detailed.

It also pushes things further with a 240Hz refresh rate and an extremely fast 0.03ms response time, which helps movement look exceptionally smooth in fast-paced games. It's definitely the pricier option of the two, but considering this is the lowest price we've seen on it, the discount makes that jump easier to justify.

$349.99 Save $79.27   Get Deal Why we like it

The Alienware 34 Curved Gaming Monitor is one of the more affordable options in Alienware's lineup, and Prime Day just dropped it to its lowest-ever price of $270.72. You're still getting the stuff most gamers would notice: a large 34-inch curved screen, fast performance that keeps gameplay feeling smooth, and quick response times that help fast-moving scenes look cleaner.

The wider screen gives you more room on screen, which can help in larger games where landscapes, maps, and details stretch beyond a standard display. Add in support for smoother frame syncing and reduced eye strain for longer sessions, and this one feels like a pretty easy value pick if you want a larger gaming monitor without spending OLED money.

It's day four of Prime Day, and if you're still hunting for the perfect drone deal, check out this discount on the DJI Mini 3 drone.

Existing stock of DJI drones is unaffected by the recent ban on foreign-made drones, so you can still treat yourself to a discounted DJI model over Prime Day. And as of June 26, this popular drone is down to $392.29. That's over $200 off the normal list price of $602.29.

The DJI Mini 3 is a lightweight, regulation-friendly drone weighing under 249g. This means it doesn't need a FAA registration or Remote ID for recreational use. You'll also get a bundle of accessories with the drone, including a DJI RC, flight battery, spare propellers and screws, gimbal protector, carrying case, landing pad, anti-collision light, lanyard, screen protector, and charging cable.

With all this, you'll be ready to start shooting stunning 4K HDR video as soon as it arrives. This drone also has True Vertical Shooting, so it’s easy to create ready-to-share content, especially for tall scenes like high buildings or waterfalls. For tougher conditions, it comes with a 3-axis mechanical gimbal and level 5 wind resistance for keeping footage smooth.

Head to Amazon to get this DJI Prime Day deal.

$209.70 Save $57.71 Get Deal

Prime Day is almost over, but Magic: The Gathering fans still have a little time left to grab one of the bigger Marvel crossover boxes at a discount. The timing is perfect, as it's launch day for this set.

As of June 26, the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box is available for $151.99 at Amazon through marketplace seller Collector’s Cache, with free shipping currently listed for July 2 through July 8. 

If you want yours a bit faster, the box sold by Champion Gaming can arrive as soon as June 29 (at the time of writing), but requires a still-on-sale payment of $155.95 instead. 

The lower $151.99 price takes $57.71 off the $209.70 list price for this sealed Play Booster Box. Since you’re getting 30 packs in total, that works out to around $5.07 per pack; that’s perfect if you’ve been excited for the drop of this epic comic book universe-themed set to finally land after months of waiting.

You’ll get 30 Play Boosters, with 14 cards in each pack. Every pack includes one Traditional Foil card and one to four cards of rare or higher rarity, along with uncommons, commons, and a land card.

This is just one of the many fantastic trading card deals we’ve found on Prime Day. The Mashable team is uncovering bargains for other Magic: The Gathering cards, the Pokémon TCG, the One Piece Card Game, and more. We’ve also put together a huge list of Pokémon Prime Day deals, including Nintendo Switch games, movies, gifts, and of course, trading cards.

LGs award-winning OLED evo AI C5 Series TV has never been cheaper — save almost $200 on Prime Day

Mashable - 8 hours 15 min ago

SAVE $198.99: As of June 25, the 65-inch LG OLED evo AI C5 Series Smart TV is on sale for $1,198 at Amazon. That's 14% off and $198.99 in savings.

Opens in a new window Credit: LG LG 65-Inch Class OLED evo AI C5 Series Smart TV $1,198 at Amazon
$1,396.99 Save $198.99   Get Deal

Prime Day is in its final stretch. The 65-inch LG OLED evo AI C5 Smart TV is down to $1,198 at Amazon. That's down from its usual $1,396.99, saving you almost $199. For a 2025 LG OLED model, this is one of the better TV deals we're seeing before Prime Day ends.

LG's OLED TVs are usually known for picture quality first, and this model mainly focuses on making movies, shows, sports, and games look cleaner and more detailed. Since OLED screens light up each pixel individually, darker scenes look deeper and more natural instead of turning gray, while brighter areas still stand out without washing everything out.

The TV can also sharpen lower-quality content, so older shows, streams, or sports broadcasts can look clearer on a 4K screen.

If you're a gamer, there's a lot here, too: fast response times, up to 144Hz refresh rates, and four HDMI 2.1 ports for connecting consoles and other devices. In simple terms, it means smoother gameplay with less blur and fewer visual hiccups during fast-moving scenes.

Grab the 65-inch LG OLED evo AI C5 Smart TV on Amazon before Prime Day wraps up and takes the discount with it.

Even if you're not a hardcore fan of spending time outdoors, you could likely benefit from some fresh outdoor gear. If you don't require a new tent, a comfortable chair to take to the park or the fall soccer game could come in clutch. Amazon Prime Day is always an excellent time to snag fresh outdoor gear. Plus, Prime Day shifting to the end of June this year means you'll have even more time to enjoy the new gear before the weather turns cold.

SEE ALSO: Amazon just dropped some rare Prime Day camping deals on Yeti and Coleman gear

Before the sale even started, there were plenty of power stations and portable speakers on sale. And now that we're in the thick of it, even more outdoor deals on things like Yeti coolers (which rarely go on sale), Coleman tents, and LifeStraw water filters (one of our favorite classic Prime Day deals) have entered the mix.

The sale runs through June 26, and we're tracking all the best Prime Day outdoor deals below.

We will be regularly updating this guide with the best outdoor deals, so keep checking back. You can also visit our Prime Day 2026 hub for all the latest updates and price drops or our live blog for the most up-to-date deals, news, and stock alerts.

After testing dozens of portable power stations, the Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 is the model I take on every camping trip. I like to slightly overestimate my power needs while camping (what if I decide to stay an extra night?), so I prefer the 2,048Wh offered by the C2000 Gen 2.

Anker made this as lightweight as possible, and despite landing in the 2k Wh category, it only weighs about 42 pounds. That'll be a manageable weight for camping trips where the campsite is near the car. It's also perfect for powering up the outdoor projector in the backyard for movie nights this summer. The Prime Day sale price of $699.99 is the lowest price we've seen this year at Amazon. It has since jumped up to $799.99, but we'll be keeping an eye out to see if the lower price returns.

Read Mashable's full review of the Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser Projector.

Some of the best summer nights are those spent outside, but if you'd like a bit of variety from staring at campfire flames, consider an outdoor projector. The Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser is one of my favorite projectors, and it's perfect for backyard movie nights. The onboard battery lasts for about 2.5 hours before you'll need to plug it into power. It can project on a screen up to 120 inches, and it's easy to bring outside. Instead of lugging out a beast of a projector, the Nebula Capsule 3 Laser weighs a bit over two pounds, and it's similar in size to a 12-ounce can of cola.

The Prime Day sale price of $509.99 matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon, but it's rare to see it dip this low, so grab it before the price increases.

Any outdoorsy person knows Yeti products come with premium price tags and that those steep costs don't drop often. Yeti coolers, specifically, rarely go on sale, but during Prime Day and other major sale events, the brand discounts select colors of many of its popular options. One of our top picks this Prime Day is the Hopper M30 portable soft cooler, which dropped down to $227.50 on day two of Prime Day. Now that we're on day three, the price has jumped a smidge to $245. While it's not quite the same discount, it's still an excellent sale price that's worth jumping on.

The M30 soft cooler features powerful magnets that create a leak-resistant shield, a high-density dryhide shell that withstands everything from punctures to UV rays, a hitchpoint grid for attaching dry gear cases, bottle openers, multitools, and more, and of course, coldcell insulation. It can hold up to 36 cans or 22 pounds of ice. If you don't need something quite as big, check out the Hopper Flip 12 (also on sale), which can hold a case of beer or 16 pounds of ice.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is the most affordable Fire TV Stick in Amazon's lineup that offers 4K quality with HDR10+ support, as well as Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It still features the old Android-based operating system, which can be slightly laggy, but overall it's well-loved by many longtime users. It also still allows for sideloading apps if you're into that. (Starting with the 4K Select model, all future Fire TV Sticks will switch to the Linux-based Vega operating system).

While this deal required an on-page coupon ahead of Prime Day, now that the shopping event is in full swing, all Prime members can score 50% off this streaming stick. This is the lowest price on record.

The best free deals on Prime Day: Score Audible, Kindle Unlimited, and more without spending anything

Mashable - 8 hours 59 min ago

It's still Prime Day through the end of Friday, June 26, which means there's still plenty of time to snag some deals. We've hand-picked the best deals across tons of categories, from laptops and TVs to books and headphones. But if you're not looking to spend any money this Prime Day, we get it. It's too expensive to merely exist in 2026. That's why we had to shout out some of the stuff you can get completely for free (or almost free) during this year's annual Prime Day event.

One thing to note: You'll have to be a Prime member to score most of these freebies. So technically, it's not free if you're paying for a Prime membership, but I digress. We take what we can get these days. Here are the best free Prime Day deals and *almost* free Prime Day deals you can grab before the sale ends.

Audible Standard Opens in a new window Credit: Audible Audible Standard free for 3 months + $20 credit Get Deal

Probably the best freebie you can grab this Prime Day, Amazon is offering new and returning subscribers three free months of its Audible Standard subscription, plus a free $20 credit to spend on audiobooks. Usually, Amazon's annual Prime Day deal gives new members three free months of Premium Plus, but the brand launched a new tier recently, so the deal is a bit different this year. The Standard plan lets you select one audiobook each month from the entire Audible collection, but unlike Premium Plus, you can't keep the titles forever and credits don't roll over to the next month. Still, with three months and a free $20 credit, you'll have a stacked summer of reading with your ears. You'll be automatically charged the full $8.99 monthly fee at the end of the promo period if you don't cancel.

Kindle Unlimited Opens in a new window Credit: Kindle Unlimited Kindle Unlimited free for 3 months Get Deal

One of my favorite subscriptions I actually pay for each month, Kindle Unlimited is free for three months for both new and returning subscribers. A subscription essentially gives you access to unlimited books. Technically, you can only borrow up to 20 at a time, but you can easily return and borrow more regularly to keep your digital library fresh and full. Plus, there are zero wait times or due dates like with Libby (the beloved free library app). I can't recommend it enough if you're looking to read more this summer. You don't need a Kindle device to take advantage of Kindle Unlimited; the app can be accessed on virtually any device. Though, several Kindles are at all-time low prices during Prime Day if you want to snag one. Subscriptions renew at $11.99 if you don't cancel before your promo period ends.

Amazon Music Unlimited Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Music Unlimited free for 4 months Get Deal

Now's a good time to pause your Spotify or Apple Music subscription and check out Amazon Music Unlimited, as it's free for four whole months for new and returning subscribers. It's usually $11.99 per month for Prime members, so that's nearly $50 in savings. Amazon Music Unlimited unlocks not only a massive on-demand, ad-free music catalog, but also ad-free podcasts and one free audiobook per month via Audible.

$15 Amazon credit when you spend $50 on household essentials Opens in a new window Credit: Angel Soft / Cottonelle / Dixie Free $15 Amazon credit when you spend $50 on select household essentials Get Deal

The best things to buy during Prime Day are items you were going to buy already, like toilet paper, cleaning supplies, trash bags, and other household essentials. Not only are products you regularly use probably on sale, but when you spend $50, Amazon will give you a free $15 credit to spend on more stuff. It's a win-win all around.

$5 pizza from Little Caesars Opens in a new window Credit: Little Caesars Little Caesars $5 Large Pizza (Prime members only) Get Deal

As a little Prime Day treat, Amazon linked up with Little Caesars to give Prime members a $5 large pizza (pepperoni or cheese) once per day through the end of Prime Day on June 26. That means you have two more opportunities to lock in your $5 pizzas (details here). It's not free, but $5 for a large pizza is practically a steal.

99-cent streaming services Opens in a new window Credit: Paramount+ Paramount+ (& 10+ other Prime Video add-on subscriptions) $0.99/month for 2 months Get Deal

My personal favorite Prime Day deals this year are the 10+ streaming services for 99 cents. Popular streaming add-ons for Prime Video like Paramount+ and Starz, as well as underrated gems like AMC+, MGM+, and Shudder, are all just 99 cents per month for two months for Prime members. Besides free trials, which are hardly ever longer than one week, that's about the cheapest you can get any streaming service in 2026.
