Finding a great last minute holiday gift can be tricky and stressful. But don't worry, these last minute holiday gift ideas for women are both easy and thoughtful, and more importantly, they won't make it seem like you waited until the last minute.

Great Last Minute Holiday Gift Ideas for Women:

Magazine Subscription - Magazine subscriptions are a great last minute holiday gift idea for women. If you are giving the gift in person, you can zip over to any bookstore or a large retail store like Target or Walmart, buy a magazine, and then remove the subscription card from inside the magazine. When she opens her gift you can tell her you got her a subscription to the magazine so that she can enjoy it all year (or for as long as the subscription you chose lasts). Is this gift for someone far away? No problem, simply go to the website of the magazine you wish to purchase and order it. Most magazine websites allow you to send an electronic gift message which means you could have your gift message there today! Not sure what magazine to get? Check out Amazon.com's magazine subscriptions - you'll find everything from People to Newsweek to Good Housekeeping, and there's even a section called "Women's Interest" for more ideas.

Flowers and chocolate - Most women love flowers and chocolates, which make them a great last minute holiday gift idea. Flowers and chocolates (or champagne if she enjoys a bit of bubbly) are easy to get and yet very thoughtful. Nowadays most supermarkets and large retail stores carry an excellent selection of chocolates and fresh flowers. If your budget will allow, find a florist that is still open and pick up a bouquet. If you want to go one step better - tell the florist you would like to arrange a flower delivery once a month, every month, for the next year! If this gift is for someone far away you can find an online florist and arrange for the flowers to be delivered.

Movie Tickets - Do you know if she likes going to the movies? Most movie theaters sell gift cards that are good for movie tickets as well as for the snack bar. You can drive to your nearest theater to pick up the gift card or you can try your local supermarket - my local supermarket carries gift cards for AMC Theaters. If you need to get this gift to someone in another city or state, you can order a gift card from a theater website. On the AMC website you can order a gift card and then send a gift message to their mobile phone.

Bath Products - Women usually enjoy the chance to have a relaxing bath. Most supermarkets now carry a good variety of bath products. If you have the time, try to locate a supermarket that specializes in organic foods, as they will likely have a good assortment of more unusual bath products.

Spa Treatment - If your budget will allow it, a gift certificate for a spa treatment is a great last minute holiday gift idea for women. If you don't have time to visit a spa near you, then you can find a spa website such as SpaFinder.com. At SpaFinder.com you can purchase a gift certificate good at over 5,000 spas nationwide. If this is really last minute, you can choose to send an eCard at no additional charge.

I hope that my list of great last minute holiday gift ideas for women will help you to choose the perfect gift for your special someone.
