Alright, last batch of gift ideas!

If you have a preteen, I'm going to be exactly zero help here...but if you have a toddler?! Got it.

We're getting our son one of those crazy Thomas the Train train tables because despite the fact that the thing is approximately the size of the second floor of our house, he's going to freak out over it. If you'd like to go the same route (large, expensive toy), may I suggest CraigsList? There are so many people whose kids have aged out of those big, pricey items and are desperate to get rid of them (we found a used version and it was worlds more affordable than it would have otherwise been).

But that's just what we're doing.

Obviously this is the most fun category. Guys can be tough (my father actually announced that this year he wants...athletic socks), kids can be a mystery (what movie character are they into this week?), but girls?

Not so much.

I still think the key with gift-giving, though, is to make sure that you give something that the person will love...but that they wouldn't necessarily buy for themselves: now is the time to go for that bag in a beautiful-but-unexpected color, that luxurious desk accessory, that ridiculously cozy throw blanket.

My favorite ideas for all the ladies on your list:

All week long, T.J.Maxx and Marshall's are running a holiday hotline to help you pick out the right gifts for the tough people on your list. I'll be offering personal suggestions along with Giuliana Rancic, the founder of MomTrends, Jenn Falik and others, so make sure to give us a ring!

P.S. Just to get you inspired, some of my favorite finds from the store are pictured above, including a killer leather jacket, a rugged travel duffle that's technically a "men's" style but that I love even more for the ladies, and a cozy robe that's on my own personal wish list.

Presenting...this year's installment of Kendrick's ideas for the men in your life, with Comic and Not-Comic options for all.
