Finding a great last minute holiday gift can be tricky and stressful. But don't worry, these last minute holiday gift ideas for your wife 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 Your Wife:

Magazine Subscription - A magazine subscription is a great last minute holiday gift idea for your wife. 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. No time to drive to the store? 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 - you can send it to your email address and then forward it to her on the day. 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! My husband gave me "flowers for a year" one year and I still consider it one of the most romantic gifts he has ever given me.

Movie Tickets - Does your wife enjoy 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. No time to drive somewhere? 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 your wife's 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. Want to make it more personal? Create some "bath coupons" so that your wife can give you a "bath coupon" when she needs to escape to the bath - and you take over cleaning the dishes, watching the kids, whatever needs to be done. Trust me, she will love being able to escape to the bath, knowing you are handling whatever she needs to take a break from!!

Spa Treatment - If your budget will allow it, a gift certificate for a spa treatment is a great last minute holiday gift idea for your wife. If you don't have time to visit a spa near you, you can purchase a gift certificate from 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. Getting a facial or a massage is a truly luxurious experience and it is a lovely thing to do for your wife.

I hope that my list of great last minute holiday gift ideas for your wife will help you to choose the perfect gift. Happy Holidays.
