Step 1
Go shopping for gifts at a gas station convenience mart while you're filling up your tank. Buy a selection of the person's favorite snacks or an inexpensive bottle of wine. Complete the gift bag by including handwritten coupons for a night out, a homemade dinner or services like a day of housecleaning or babysitting.

Step 2
Visit a grocery store to fill a bag with romantic candy and flowers, the ingredients to make a favorite recipe and the promise to make the meal, or some delicious baked goods, pretty mugs and a bag of coffee. Most large-scale supermarkets also sell hardback books, toys, balloons and a selection of gift cards to restaurants, shops and music downloading gift cards.

Step 3
Put a gift bag together with items sold at a drug store, like fragrant lotions and soaps, toys and baby supplies, art supplies or decorative trinkets. Consider the way you can group the last minute items to create a themed bag. Include a pretty picture frame, small photo album, acid-free pens to write captions and a coupon for free photo developing, for example.

Step 4
Pull together a seasonal gift bag if you have time to visit more than one store. For example, celebrate summer with a bag that includes snacks and lemonade mix from the grocery store, along with a colorful beach towel, suntan lotion, sunglasses, magazines, plastic cups and straws from a drug store.
