Don't sleep on these convenience store goodies when you're in a pinch and need a quick gift. 

Let's face it—the holidays creep up on you. Before you know it, you have to come up with one more stocking stuffer or white elephant offering, and you're out of time to go to the mall. Here is a list of convenience store items that would make a welcome gift.

Bundle Up

Most convenience stores have a display of hats, scarves, and gloves right by the door. You can't go wrong with a warm scarf wrapped around a nice bottle of wine or a cozy pair of gloves to keep in coat pockets.

Scratchers

Stuff a card with a few scratch-off lottery tickets and a quarter, and watch the recipient's face light up. Who doesn't like free money?

Mimosa Kit

Grab a bottle of sparkling wine and a jug of orange juice for a make-your-own mimosa kit. All you need is a festive gift bag. This also makes a great hostess gift, and no one will ever know where you got it.

Gift Cards

This is obvious, but a generous gift card is always a welcome gift. Attach one to a giant candy bar for something quick and easy.

Car Kit

I got one of these useful bundles one year and appreciated the thought. Grab a refillable mug and put in a charging cord, a gas card, an ice scraper, and some candy or snacks. It's inexpensive but very useful.

Remember this list the next time you're running late for a holiday party, and don't go empty-handed. You don't have to brave the mall crowds to get a thoughtful present, even at the last minute.
