Short on last minute gift ideas?

Not every one is easy to buy Christmas presents for. There's always that one person who always seems disappointed with their gift, or nothing comes to mind when you need to choose something for them. When it's your wife or girlfriend you are shopping for it can be really stressful.

The problem is that the more difficult someone is to please, the longer we seem to leave it to buy their gift.

Suddenly there's no time and you are guaranteed to end up with the same old lame present anyway.

Time for that to end.

Here is my list of 5 last minute gift ideas that are guaranteed to satisfy fussy women.

Now, note I said 'satisfy'. She may not gush or be thrilled, but the chances are you'd need to the planets to be correctly aligned, the Three Fates appeased and the barometric pressure to be spot on before that could happen , so 'satisfy' is all you need to aim for.

Balloon Ride:- Send her up in a hot air balloon. They'll take her away at dawn, ply her with champagne and other goodies and hoist her up towards the heavens. There's always a chance she'll come back again, but it's worth a try.

Of course, you may want to go with her. That's entirely up to you. You can download gift certificates online and have your gift in a card and in her hand within minutes. Can't get much more last minute than that!

Constant Chocolate:- There aren't many women that wouldn't be satisfied with a home delivery of gourmet chocolate once a month ' in fact, it probably should be a national compulsory program. Join her up for a Chocolate of the Month Club. You can organise it all online and then just stay the hell out of the way.

Magazine Subscription:- Now, I know this probably sounds a little disappointing, but have you noticed how relaxed women get when they read a magazine? Trust me, this is one of the best Christmas gifts to fall back on if you haven't got much time. Don't scrimp, buy her a full year to something she really loves and is great quality.

Dinner:- A lot of restaurants will offer gift vouchers and if she's the type of person that enjoys eating out; this may be more successful than a set of soaps and a flannel.

With a voucher she'll be able to book her dinner for a night that suits her, invite whom ever she wants and it will be up to the restaurant to disappoint her not you.

You can book vouchers online ' see my website for ideas.

Lobster:- Yes, this isn't exactly Tiffany's, but lobster still has that ability to impress. It's gourmet, it's quality and it's usually expensive. Why not book her in for a delivery of quality crustaceans right to her door? Some people may think lobster makes for one of the more unusual Christmas gifts, and maybe it does.

But just think: no shopping, no bother, and she'll be able to brag about the delicious lobster dinner served in her own home. You can order this online and book a one off or more regular delivery ' you'll know how many she'll need before she's happy.

Well, that's your last minute Christmas gifts list. They may not be in everyone's list of top ten Christmas gifts, but as far as get-out-of-trouble lists go, I think you'll find something there to help.

Have a Merry Christmas and best wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year!
