Most men couldn't tell the difference between a Bic disposable razor and a $650 Art of Shaving razor. Those are the same men that say, "Get me a pack of socks for Christmas." (I am familiar with that man because that man is my father). For these men who absolutely can tell the difference between a cheap razor and a luxury razor and only settle for the finer things in life ... this gift list is for them.

Fancy footwear: For the man who has almost as many pairs of shoes as you have in your closet, how about a pair of Skull Wing Tip shoes. After hours, let him slip into a pair of Velvet Dragon Evening shoes. For those of you who don't speak the language of "spoiled rotten," "evening shoes" is code for slippers.

Business time: Most men I know carry everything they need in a wallet. How they do it, I don't know. For the men who wouldn't dream of such a thing, gift them with a $1,280 calfskin briefcase by Christian Dior. If a briefcase alone isn't enough, add this Gecko Letter Opener to his package and he will open your credit card statements with glee.

Status symbols: Women have shoes and bags to show their status; men have cufflinks and watches to show theirs. This slick black watch by Christian Dior will certainly turn heads coming in at a whopping $3,950.00. And if $3,950.00 is a little too steep try these skull cufflinks for $375 at Nordstrom, which is equally impressive.

For the guy that has everything: You can never go wrong with a great pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses or this fun poker set from Vivre.com ... men love stuff like that.

Kids are getting awfully stylish these days, they have it better than adults and certainly have it better than when I was a kid. Back then the closest thing to designers fashions that my closet saw where Osh Kosh and The Children's Place. Here are some gifting ideas for your couture kid.

Juicy Couture Girls Skull Watch: Want to know how much my watch costs? It costs $20. This children's watch by Juicy Couture is $95. No child of mine would ever have a watch more expensive than my own, it just wouldn't happen.

True Religion Kids Skinny Jeans: Let's mess with kids' body image when they are nice and young by forcing them to wear skinny jeans.

Pink Burberry Poncho: Let your kid be rad in plaid with this pink Burberry poncho.

Lacoste Sneakers: When I was a kid I had velcro shoes from Kmart. Yes Kmart, can you believe it? These shoes are $50 from Lacoste and you can bet that your kid is going to grow out them in 2 weeks.

Mary Jane Socks: I wish it were acceptable for me to not wear shoes and instead wear socks that just looked like shoes. Life would be grand.

Juicy Couture "Mini Fluffy" Bag: What does a kid need a kid purse for? To carry their "kid" cell phone ... and their "kid" make up! Buy that kid a backpack for goodness sake so they can put some books in there. Books, what a concept huh kids?

Mini Mercedes: You can't have your couture kid making a fool out of themselves riding a bike now can you? Put their spoiled behind the wheel.

Baby Daisy Headband: This $30 headband is cute. For me! Shame my big head won't fit into a baby's headband.
Seven for All Mankind Trench: Who needs a ratty bubble jacket when you can outfit your tot in a sleek trench coat.

The holidays are full of busy travelers, but did you know that there are two different kinds of travelers? There is the casual traveler and there is the Glamorous Globetrotter. The casual traveler has only one goal in mind, getting from point A to point B. The Glamorous Globetrotter sees travel as a part of life and needs to have the best travel accessories.

Ted Gibson Hair Sheets: These sheets can remove frizz, prevent over-drying, eliminate odors, and protect your hair from the sun anytime, anywhere.

GoSmile Travel Kit: Keep those teeth pearly white and sparkling while you are on the road. GoSmile offers the best in dental care (for fashionista's at least).

Gucci Web Travel Bag: For the obnoxious globetrotter ... Shout "Gucci" from the rooftops with this signature travel bag. Fit all of your necessities in this bag, just be warned you will get jealous stares.

Portolano Cashmere Travel Set: Those itchy blankets and foam pillows on the plane will never do. This cashmere kit will keep you warm and cozy. Plus the eye mask will help you block out that annoying guy in the seat next to you.

Travel Gal Pal Deodorant Remover: These little pink rounds remove unsightly deodorant stains from your clothing. Perfect last minute touch ups on the road.

Herban Essentials Fear of Flying Kit: Know someone who loves far off destinations but is afraid to fly? This set of herbal essentials is said to "sooth your fears allowing you to fly in comfort".

Take Charge Travel Bag: With so many gadgets to keep our lives in order, a bag to keep them in order is a must. This bag will keep you from forgetting your charging essentials and will keep them tangle free.

Plane to See Security Bag: Traveling isn't as simple as it used to be, airport security can be a real drag. This bag will help you get through security faster. Fill it will travel goodies like a mini-toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and face cleanser for an extra special stocking stuffer.

The Laundress Stain Removal Kit: For those first class champagne spills during turbulent moments.

Snakeskin Passport Cover: A world traveler needs to keep her passport safe from harm. What better than a luxurious snakeskin passport cover to travel in style?

These days you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a celebrity train wreck. This gifting addition is for our favorite disaster, Britney Spears.

Gal Pal Retro Ice Bag: Crazy girls need to rest those crazy heads. This cute ice bag will do the trick for Brit when she is hungover from a night of popping pills and partying.

Primp Piggy Leggings: Britney Spears loves Primp clothing because the line is comfortable and casual. Perhaps these piggy leggings would be a nice addition to Brit's collection.

Spinning Decision Maker: The way Britney has been acting lately makes me think that she uses this device to make all of her big decisions like going to court, taking care of her kids, running red lights, getting dressed in the morning.

F*%$ Rehab Shirt: Britney's unspoken motto. This obnoxious tee shirt is part of everyone's favorite gossip queen's line, Perez Hilton.

Zagat To-Go Los Angeles 2008: This is the perfect gift for Britney. Now she can find out where all of the good restaurants are without picking up one of those fancy book things.

Starbucks Gift Card: Because foamy, whipped, sugary, caramel covered frozen drinks don't wrap very well.

Subscription to US Weekly: It is no secret that Britney loves the paparazzi. Give her the gift of gossip this holiday season with a year subscription of US Weekly.

Blow Pops 100 Pack: When Britney doesn't have a cigarette, a cheeseburger, or a Starbucks frozen drink in her mouth – you will find that a lollipop is. A 100 pack of Blow Pops is an inexpensive gift and it should hold Britney over for at least a week.

Dita Cabaret Sunglasses: Spears can never leave the house without a pair of shades. She wears them during the day and she wears them at night (she's crazy like that). These provide great coverage and come in wide variety of colors.

Britney Spears- Oops I did it Again: One of Britney's best albums, perhaps playing this CD for her will remind her of the good old days.

Getting locked up has never been so stylish. You've got the leader of the prison pack Paris Hilton, and both Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan have spent some time behind bars. The girls are all free (for now) but their prison attire is here to stay. Dressing in black and white is so chic this holiday season. Here are some stand-out pieces that our celebrity jailbirds should have in their closets:

Santi jeweled clutch: Bling is back with this jeweled cover clucth, the perfect accessory for holiday parties.

Karta zig-zag dress: Instead of skippin the stuffing, wear this dress. The zig-zag design of this dress is slimming and elongating which makes this the perfect dress for the holiday season.

Christian Louboutin 'Bling Bling' platforms: A fierce pair of shoes is a must have for the holiday party season. Just beware for those of you who live in colder climates, the peep toe might result in frostbite.

RM Rhea dress: This cute little number has pockets for all of your goodies -- cell phone, money, ID ... anything!
