In this run up to the festive holiday celebration, you might have found yourself making a list (and checking it twice) to make sure you’ve bought all the presents you needed for friends and family this year. But what if, when packing all your purchases into the car, you realized you missed a gift for someone special?

You’re now present-less on Christmas Eve and all the shops are shutting up for the holidays. What can you do?

Well, cleverly, you remember that there’s an ample supply of gas stations on your route, which you can easily pop into and shop around. Gas stations are sure to have a good last minute present for that forgotten loved one, right?

So from your time spent browsing the aisles in the country’s best, or worst, gas stations, what purchases have you come across that would make a great last-minute Christmas present?
