Last Minute GifsFace it, there are just not enough hours in the day to complete everything on our holiday "to do" list. Despite our best intentions, there's always something that gets overlooked. If you find yourself short a Christmas gift or two with no time to shop at the mall, these last minute gifts may be some of the best presents you give of all.

1- Dinner Cruise

Parents are some of the most difficult folks to shop for. (Holla if you hear me!) So, instead of looking for yet another object to buy (that they will probably not figure out how to use anyway), think about an experience that they can treasure for a lifetime. A dinner cruise, complete with dancing, is an exciting and romantic alternative. Gifts can be presented in a unique gift box or sent via e-mail.

2 - NASCAR Experience

NASCAR fans, car buffs and thrill-seekers will appreciate an opportunity to get behind the wheel of a racecar and drive a few laps on some of America's greatest racetracks. And, if they are not quite ready to take the wheel, they can ride shotgun with a professional driver and experience a memorable gift of speed like never before! Gifts can be presented in a unique gift box or sent via e-mail.

3 - Handbag Club

Ladies love handbags. There's one for everyday use, special outfits, shopping, evening wear, parties...the list is endless. There are clutch bags, handbags and shoulder bags. So, if the special lady in your life is a purse junkie, the Handbag Club of the Month is the perfect gift. You can choose a 1-month, 3-month, 6-month or 12-month membership.

4 - One Share

This holiday season may be the best time to take stock…and give it as a gift. With prices down, giving a share of stock is a thoughtful and smart investment, particularly for kids. Kids can begin to learn about the value of equity with a framed share of kid-friendly stock like Mattel or McDonald’s and OneShare’s free illustrated book, Stock Matters: An Introduction to Stocks and Ownership. They also receive the OneShare Start-Up Kit, which contains a Quick Reference Guide, Owner’s Manual and congratulations Card. Ships free of charge with code: FREESHIP2008.

5 - Acer Aspire One Mini Netbook

Good things come in small packages. The Acer Aspire One netbook is a portable device that is great for teens. They can take it anywhere. Its lightweight and easy to tote around at school, the library, over a friends when studying together, or at club meetings. It is the perfect accessory with a built-in wifi port allowing internet connectivity on-the-go. Heck, grades may even improve with this nifty computer.

6 - Wine Club

Wine makes a wonderful gift. You can make it a year-round gift for friends, family and business associates by giving them a gift membership to a Wine of the Month Club. Every month members will receive two bottles of hand selected exceptional wine and more. You can select 3-month, 6-month or 12-month memberships that can include a FREE gift message. You can also print a gift announcement right from your computer.

7 - Golf Ball of Month Club

Almost all golfers like to try new products, so why not give your favorite golfer that gift that allows him or her to receive and play a different brand name golf ball every month. Each month your golfer will receive either a single sleeve or a full box of new brand name golf balls from companies like Taylor Made, Calloway, Titleist, Srixon, Bridgestone, Wilson, Dunlop, Maxfli, Nike, Precept, Slazenger and more. Memberships are available for 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.

8 - FitDeck Exercise Playing Cards

This is a great stocking-stuffer for the home exerciser, the traveling exercsier or those who need a jumpstart on an exercise program. The size of a regular deck of cards, each card offers an exercise that requires no equipment. Exercises range from cardio moves (jumping jacks) to strength moves (like pushups) and users can do them in order or make their own workouts. There is a description and picture of each exercise as well as modifications.

9 - Holiday Gift Basket

A Holiday Gift Basket is just the way to send holiday greetings to family and friends who are out of town. No need to worry about buying a gift, preparing it for mailing and hoping the post office delivers it on time. Simply order online and have the holiday basket of your choice delivered directly to your intended recipients.

10 - Barack Obama Inaugural Plate

Gift someone a piece of history with the commemorative 44th President Victory Plate. The plate comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from the American Historic Society. Included is a display stand and bonus limited edition presidential dollar. Yes you can...gift a part of history!

    My friend sent me a really neat gift for my kids and me that readers might be interested in. It is called a Germy Wormy. It reduces the spread of germs as it is a “disposable sleeve to protect clothes” and is a great tool to teach my kids to cough and sneeze in their elbow instead of their hands. (This is the way the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends to prevent the spread of germs.) If we can stop the spread of germs and avoid 1 round of sickness, this is worth it! I think am giving these as holiday gifts to a few of my friends!

    Check out their website.

    They have a fun for kids puppet show, activities, and a place to order the “arm sleeve”.
