Then he spends Saturday morning wandering the tool aisle at Home Depot like it's a museum. Bless him. That right there is your answer.

Sorted by what kind of guy you're shopping for. A few tools are sold "tool only," meaning no battery, and I've noted those so you don't get caught.

That little bag does half the work for you, honey. Here's the trick: you don't have to buy the $200 sweater. These are the Anthropologie gifts at $50 and under that still feel like a splurge: the famous Volcano candle, gold-trimmed monogram mugs, jewelry, pretty little things for the house, and a couple of stocking stuffers that look way more expensive than they are. Prices change, and some items come in more than one size, so check each listing for the current price.

Most of these are made to order from your photo, so give the maker some time and check each listing for current turnaround and shipping.

The ship docks, you've got a few precious hours, and half the boat heads straight for the same three jewelry stores by the pier. Bless it. You can do better. These are the highest-rated, most-reviewed excursions I could find for the Caribbean's busiest cruise ports, sorted by port, with a water day, an adventure, and an easier option wherever I could find one.

Things to do in Barnwell, South Carolina, from somebody who actually lives here. Where to eat, what to see, and where to slow down in a small town with a whole lot more history than you'd expect.

Things to do in Charleston, South Carolina, from a gal who lives just up the road. Cobblestone streets, pastel houses, shrimp and grits, and history on every corner. Here's where to explore, where to eat, and where to lay your head. Y'all come see us.

Forrest Gump, The Big Chill, and The Prince of Tides all filmed here, and once you sit on a porch swing at Waterfront Park and watch the boats drift along the Beaufort River, you'll get why. It's smaller and slower than Charleston or Savannah, with live oaks, antebellum homes, deep Gullah roots, and a beach with a lighthouse you can climb again. Here's what to do, which history is worth your time, where to eat, and where to lay your head. Bring bug spray. The no-see-ums don't care how cute your outfit is.

The beauty stuff I actually finish the bottle on. Laura Geller for skin that's lived a little, Tarte makeup that performs, and Dr. Barbara Sturm skincare that feels like a splurge worth making.

Savannah is Charleston's moody cousin, and I mean that as a compliment. Spanish moss on every oak, 22 squares you can stroll in an afternoon, a few hotels with ghosts on the guest list, and pralines on River Street that'll ruin you for store-bought. Here's what to do, which history is worth your time, where to eat, and where to lay your head, from a gal who lives a couple hours up the road. Wear comfy shoes. Savannah is a walking town, and the sidewalks are older than your granny.

Matching pajamas are the easiest holiday picture there is, so I rounded up ten Walmart family sets, from classic red flannel to Snoopy, the Grinch and Harry Potter. Each one has the whole family's sizes on a single page, and most come in a dog size too. Then I added the little extras that finish the shot: a plaid throw for the couch, Santa hats for the silly picture, fuzzy socks and a stocking for the dog.
