Crochet is perfect for last minute Christmas gifts. It is so speedy and requires only simple materials. Am working on a last minute afghan in a chunky yarn for dh, and various little scarves and hats for family and friends. Friends are asking me to teach them to crochet which just makes me laugh because I only know the very basics - but you can still accomplish a lot with just basics!
I have found a site full of pattern sources at http://www.bellaonline.com/subjects/345.asp. Good launching place for a search.
And while searching for special yarn for one of my knitting projects I stumbled across this site: http://www.twoswansyarns.com/. Couldn't find any crocheting tools- but they have gorgeous yarn at good prices and a fun special on red and green yarns (check out the specials link). Also, they have *very* reasonable shipping rates - $25 & over in the US ships free. That's pretty awesome. Please note I just discovered this site, so cannot completely vouch for them until my order arrives.
