Easter is only a few weeks away, so it's time to start shopping for Easter toys and Easter basket essentials. Amazon is currently discounting toys from Play-Doh, Nerf, Hasbro and more for up to 41% off. Many of these toys would make great easter basket surprises this year. Our favorite toy deals include:

The latest Apple AirPods Pro 2 earbuds have an upgraded wireless chip for improved audio functionality, a new low distortion driver for clearer audio and improved active noise cancelation. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 provide truly custom sound: You can use your iPhone's camera to analyze your unique ear anatomy and find the perfect audio settings for you.

The design of the AirPods Pro 2 is fairly similar to the previous generation, but Apple has introduced touch control to the AirPods Pro 2 to help users more seamlessly control their AirPods.
