Whenever someone says teenagers are hard to shop for, I think, "Are they actually... ?" Take Easter, for example. I have baskets to fill for two teens this year, and my list has a pretty simple theme: No kid stuff. Keep it cool. So I plan to throw in a few elevated snack and cult-favorite beauty items—and one small splurge that they'll be surprised to see poking out of the Easter grass.

If you're looking for a one-stop shop, I've been finding a lot of my treasures, big and small, at Walmart (some of which are even on sale). I'm talking everything from "cool" Ferrero Rocher chocolate and a trendy K-beauty toner to a mini JBL Bluetooth speaker and a nice bottle of Marc Jacobs perfume. So I guess what I'm saying is: Shopping for teens can be easy, just follow my lead.

The teenagers in my life claim to be too old for traditional chocolate bunnies, but they're always happy to accept fancy Ferrero Rocher. They'll get 13 individually wrapped milk chocolates, and you'll get to keep the chocolate bunny tradition alive.

If their childhood love for LEGO still runs deep, give them a pretty little spring bouquet to build. It'll keep them off their phone for a bit and look so cute on their desk or nightstand all year long (no wilting).

The teenagers in my house love this fidget cube. It's only 3 by 3 inches, but it transforms into dozens of shapes. Magnets hold the sides together with a satisfying click.

Digital cameras are having a comeback moment, so here's an easy way to introduce them to the tech if they don't already have one. It's a basic point-and-shoot camera that lets them take photos and videos with something other than their phone.

If it's wrong to give teens a fun, fast-paced card game just to get them to put their phone down and hang out with me for a while, I don't want to be right. And yes, my teenage son actually likes it.

If the gamer in your life doesn't have an RGB keyboard yet, I bet they want one. This keyboard doesn't just look cool, it also has a scroll wheel for quick volume adjustments.

I'm willing to bet beauty goodies like this lip oil will go over even better than Easter candy. Our beauty editor also happens to love this lip oil, calling it "a little moment of self-care." Choose from eight colors, or spoil them with a few.

They'll be so impressed that you thought to put K-beauty products in their Easter basket. This watermelon-scented toner happens to be from one of our favorite K-beauty brands and is a repeat winner of the Cosmo Reader's Choice Beauty Awards!
