Granted Ogres didn't exist in Middle Earth but I disagree about the existance of giants.

In the Hobbit, just before the Company is taken by Goblins, as they are walking through the mountains, it mentions Stone Giants out throwing boulders at each other. Later in the House of Elrond, Gandalf make mention that he'd "... have to find a more or less decent giant to block it up or there'll be no traveling through the mountains at all..." (Or something like that. I'm doing this from memory at 10:00 at night. Bad combination if you're trying for accurate quotes.)

I believe these are the only times that Giants are mentioned. I don't recall any in the LotR.
