I bought these two babies a week ago and all it said on the package was "mini cacti". There was a third one, which I gave to my friend. If anyone knows what exactly they are and have some tips on how to take good care of them I would appreciate it.
They are quite pretty and I'd say I really needed some, since they definitely improved my mood and even my energy levels, but I would love to take proper care of them. They had many different types on sale. Wish they weren't sold out so fast, I would have loved to get another set of three.

I believe you are correct. The left is Hobbit Jade, and we call the other hens and chicks. Or Echevaria. It doesn't have as plump of leaves as the pachyphytum.

@ColdFlame There are so many different types aren't there. lol I don't even try to id the succulents I find now. I have even had the tiny ones on the left before. My daughter in law gave me some to stick into mini gardens.

@ColdFlame Sandy soil, full to partial sun. Water when they dry out all the way. They will be happy!!

Really looks like one, but with less leaves I guess. Thank you for the answer!

@ColdFlame I used one of them when I learnt to make terrarium. It is called Jade plant.

They are at least called mini cacti. Don't know how much in common they have with the plants we'd regularly refer to as cacti.
