For Your Convenience

Gift giving is possibly one of the hardest things a person can do. Especially for Valentines Day when the gift is expected to have some meaning and thought in it. It doesn’t help if you’ve completely forgot Valentines Day either. Luckily, here are the top five gifts you can get at your local convenience store that will still make you look like the sweetest person in the world.

5. A chocolate bar – Who doesn’t like some good chocolate on Valentines Day? Just because it wasn’t made in Belgium or there isn’t any fancy wrapping on it doesn’t make it any less special.

4. Magazines – Give the gift of literacy by picking out some of their favourite magazines. Be sure to tab any specific pages you want them to read such as “How to forgive someone when they obviously forgot Valentines Day”

3. Some lottery tickets – Try to come up with some cheesy line when you give the gift like “Baby I felt like I won the lottery when I first met you”. Maybe they’ll forget the fact that you just got them lottery tickets for Valentines Day.

2. Buy a card and write an IOU in it – If you’re really out of ideas try to stall for time by writing “I owe you…” in the card, and promise something really nice. That way the person actually receives something without you having to get anything.

And if all else fails…
1. A hug – No not from the convenience clerk but to your significant other. A hug tells that person that no material good can ever adequately express my feelings and the greatest gift of all is you two being together. It also means that you ran out of time and money but no one has to know.
