It's that time during the holiday season when many of us in south Louisiana are looking for a last-minute Christmas gift and here are just a few great ideas.

Often when you're purchasing a last-minute gift for someone it's because the person you're buying for is difficult to buy for, thus you put it off until the last minute. And there's nothing worse than waiting.

So, here are a few gift ideas for those of you looking to get someone anything for the holidays.

For starters, it is so easy to get anyone something online and by that, I mean something that does not have to be shipped. A digital gift card or game is so easy to purchase and takes no time.

Another great last-minute gift for Christmas is a photo of you and the person you're buying for. If it's a family member they will appreciate the thought and memory. You may want to include a frame with it, but that is another easy purchase.

In addition to that, another last-minute gift idea can be as easy as taking the person you're buying out to lunch or out to their favorite bar for a cocktail. And yes, it's fine to have a nice lunch or dinner as a form of gift this holiday season.

Purchasing an experience for someone is another great last-minute gift. You can easily purchase tickets for a theater or sporting event online and have them shipped to the recipient and this does not require you to get into traffic to go and make this purchase.

One last-minute gift idea that you can also purchase is food. I've had family members give me meat for the grill and I love it. So if you know of anyone who enjoys grilling, get them steaks or chicken and tell them to enjoy.

I hope that these few gift ideas help and remember, it is always the thought that counts when giving anyone a gift for the holiday season;
