Finding a great last minute holiday gift can be tricky and stressful. But don't worry, these last minute holiday gift ideas for men 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 Men:

Home Improvement - Does the man in your life enjoy "do-it-yourself home improvement"? A gift card to a store such as The Home Depot is a great last minute holiday gift idea for men. If you don't have time to drive to a store you should check your supermarket for gift cards. My supermarket carries gift cards for The Home Depot in several different amounts. If you need to send this to someone far away you can order an e-Card from The Home Depot website that can be used in stores and on their website.

Sporting Event - Most men really enjoy a good sporting event. Whether he's into football, basketball, motor sports, soccer, or something more unusual like rodeo, you will find a wealth of great sporting event ticket options at Ticketmaster. Getting him tickets to a special sporting event will surely put a smile on his face!

Magazine Subscription - Magazine subscriptions are a great last minute holiday gift idea for men. 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 he opens his gift you can tell him you got him a subscription to the magazine so that he can enjoy it all year. 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 Popular Mechanics to Time to GQ, and there's even a section called "Men's Interest" for more ideas.

Spa Treatment - If your budget will allow it, a gift certificate for a spa treatment is a great last minute holiday gift idea for men. Not sure if your man would enjoy being at a spa? You can search for a spa that offers sports massage, which is a little more "manly". 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.

Movie Tickets - Do you know if he 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 his mobile phone.

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

    Gift cards are the way to go! I love how supermarkets sells gift cards to lots of stores now. It's much easier than driving to each individual store.
