“Serious answer; gift card and, if it’s to be presented immediately, the fanciest cup of coffee you can put together from their coffee bar.”
If you’re lucky, then the gas station you stop at might have a selection of gift cards behind the counter. Then, your friend or family member could end up with $10 to spend somewhere like Starbucks, Apple or Applebees.

“Scratchers. They’re a surprise for everyone involved!”
Ah, the scratch card, always the savior of the last-minute gift buyers. These aren’t just great for anyone you forgot about, they’re fun for anyone full stop.

“We have some top-notch gas stations here in Florida.
“One of those little statues of an animal made of sea shells, with googly eyes. Shot glass with their name on it. Keychain with bottle opener (with their name on it). Shellac’d gator head. ‘Wish you were her’ postcard.”
If you find yourself without a present but within driving distance of a Florida gas station, you might be in luck. Personally, I’d opt for the animal made of sea shells – a classic stocking stuffer gift.

“Those odd discount movies. Often they are both odd-ball, half-decent movies that are often orphaned, standalone second entries in an unknown trio. If you bother actually looking you can find some killers among them. It isn’t a question of which one to buy, it is a question of which one to buy first.”
Everyone loves a movie at Christmas, so why not gamble on something from a $5 movie bin at your local gas station? Surely it can’t be that bad, can it?

“Slim Jims, Tic Tacs and Red Bull. What more could a gal want?”
If there’s one thing gas stations are bound to have, other than gas, it’s good snacks. So why not stock up and keep your loved ones well fed this holiday time.

“Cowboy hat. Or beer.”
Two great options here and, coincidentally, two things I never leave home without.

“Tire pressure gauge.”
My dad always made a point of buying us a handy tool every year, last year it was a voltmeter. Maybe it was just because he always forgot to get us something, so opted for whatever tool was available in the local garage?
