OK, you’ve waited until the last minute … now what?

Time got the best of you and you’re in the 11th hour having purchased nary a gift. Now that the holidays are on your doorstep, what can you get that won’t look like you shopped in a rush?

It’s possible to give last-minute gifts that won’t appear so. Here’s a guide to some gifts you can pick up in a snap.

For Adults

• Pull from the spirit of the season. Choose among holiday music, ornaments or table decorations. What’s more, at this late date prices may be slashed.

•Go with a picture frame. Take a family portrait or a picture you want to share and place it within a frame. This is a great idea for grandparents or other special people.

• Put together themed cooking supplies. For example, an ice cream lover may enjoy an ice cream maker, an ice cream scoop, assorted toppings, and glasses for holding sundaes.

• Choose area attractions that adults may enjoy. A night out at the movies or a gift certificate for a local restaurant are ideas.

• Liquor can be a nice gift when appropriate. Many liquor stores will gift-wrap, or choose a nice wine and a decorative wine bag to house it.

• Food never falls out of favor. Choose some exotic treats, such as fine chocolates, smoked salmon or caviar, and place in a decorative basket.

For Children

• Family movie DVDs are fun for kids of all ages. If you don’t know what flick will fit the bill, give a gift card and let the child do the choosing.

• Books, puzzles and coloring activities will all spark creativity and lead to hours of fun.

• Don’t underestimate the power of a little green. A few dollars tucked into a card enables children to feel responsible, and allows them to select a favorite gift of choice.

For Teenagers

• Teens often want to stay abreast of the latest styles and fashions. However, you may not know what they are. So if you’re thinking of gifting with clothing, it may be best to choose among some of the hot stores, such as American Eagle Outfitters, Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister for your finds. Or simply give a gift card.

•For female teens, gifts that pamper and enable them to go glam could be appreciated. Various bath gels and scented lotions packaged together would be a nice offering.

•Give a teen a subscription to a favorite magazine so they can follow celebrities or sports teams.

• Find out if you can pre-pay for texting or minutes on a mobile phone for the teen who is always in touch.

• A trial membership to one of the mail-in movie services from Netflix or Blockbuster enables teens to catch up on all of their favorite flicks.
