Last Minute Gift Ideas » Send Gift via Email

You're going about your day normally when all of a sudden it hits you: It's Mom's birthday today!! Or another person of importance for whom you'd normally buy a well-planned, thoughtful gift.

What to do? Send a gift late and beg for forgiveness, right?

That's one way to handle it. The other is to pick one of the suggestions below and send a gift via email: the ultimate last minute gift idea.

1. Restaurant.com

   Even if you can't take them to a meal yourself, you can send an eGift Card with the message "Dinner's on me!" Plus, Restaurant.com lets you buy a $25 gift certificate for $10 so you can be extra-generous. Send gift via email now!

2. Netflix

   Sign up your pal for this movie subscription service and they'll receive an email notifying them they're ready to go. They can even watch a movie over the Internet immediately!

   Best of all, whether they watch movies online or on DVD, there are no shipping or late fees. I use them and love them.

3. Magazines

   You can go to Magazineline.com and send a gift via email. There are tons of categories and price ranges. It's the gift keeps on giving.

4. iTunes

   This is a great last minute gift for anyone. There is a way to send a gift via email through iTunes but in my opinion Apple makes it kind of difficult to find.

   If you have iTunes on your computer already, click this to be taken directly to the email gift certificate page. It will launch the iTunes store.

   If that link doesn't work for you, here's the long way:

   

   1. Go to iTunes.com.
   2. If you don't already have iTunes on your computer, click the blue Download Now button.
   3. From there go to the iTunes store.
   4. Look for the "Quick Links" box.
   5. Click "Buy iTunes Gifts".

   From there it's pretty straightforward.

5. Amazon.com

   An oldie (by Internet standards) but a goodie. An email appears in their Inbox with a code they can use to redeem the amount you pay. Choose your gift card amount and style, type their email and you're done. Send a gift via email now!

   

6. Wine.com

   For those hard-to-buy-for people, wine is a winner. Send a gift via email through Wine.com easily. It makes a great gift for almost any occasion, plus a gift certificate means they can choose the exact wines they want.
