Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Step 1

A week or less. Get on the internet and go to "www.gifts.com" . This website provides some of the most awesome gift ideas on the web! Take the personality quiz to determine the personality type of your gift recipient based on a series of simple questions. You can either order a personalized gift on line at "www.gifts.com" or take the idea and run with it on your own. Some of the ideas on the Gifts.com website range from wine of the month club to a helicopter tour of New York City. Its fun to take the quiz and Mom will be really happy with the thoughtfulness of your original and unique Mothers Day gift idea!
Step 2

Gift Baskets- MUST INCLUDE CHOCOLATE

3 days or less. Gift baskets can be quickly assembled by just going to the drug store or supermarket and putting together fun and personal things such as eye cream, body spray, body lotion, fruit, wine, gourmet coffee or tea... just about anything is great in a gift basket! Always add some chocolate kisses or just about anything chocolate to the mix. Tie it up nice and sweet in a basket, shoe box or pretty gift bag and you have a personalized gift good to go.
Step 3

People Magazine Subscription

25 minutes or less. Buy yourself some time with the gift of a magazine subscription. There is always a news stand, deli, supermarket or convenience store that sells magazines! Maybe you even have one lying around the home. Grab it, pop it in a gift bag (if you have one or just stick a bow on it). Done. Everyone loves a magazine subscription. Just remember to follow through and actually purchase the magazine subscription!
Step 4

Movie and Popcorn

20 minutes or less. Movie tickets. If you have a computer with an internet connection, go to the website "www.Fandango.com" . Who doesn’t love a night out at the movies? Throw in a bag of microwave popcorn if you have it in the house. With or without the popcorn, fandango movie certificates can be used at most movie theaters nationwide and make great gifts for everyone, anytime. Use your stationary and markers to write a personalized note and decorate the envelope for fun.
Step 5

15 minutes or less. Gift cards make great gifts! Many retail stores and most drug stores or supermarkets carry an assortment of gift cards that can be used at popular retail stores nationwide. Gift cards are easy to give and fun to get! If you don't have a Mothers Day or birthday greeting card available, make a homemade card with some plain paper, decorate the envelope and insert the gift card!
Step 6

LAST MINUTE DRAMA!!

10 minutes or less. If you are in the New York City Metro area give the gift of a Broadway Show or theater tickets to a hot show playing in your city or town. With a pen or colored marker write down the name of a play that you think Mom might like or that your gift recipient might enjoy and let them know that you want to spend a night out on the town with them. This is a really special gift because you are not only taking them out to see a show but also, they get to spend time with you! The gift will be a hit and you also buy yourself some time. Don't forget that you will both have to sync up your schedules to coordinate the plan. Later on, when you get a chance go to the web site "www.theatermania.com" to find discount theater tickets and find out what is playing in your city or close to home.

With a little ingenuity these last minute gift ideas make great gifts for Mothers Day, Birthdays or for any occasion!
