Your local drug stores and Seven Elevens in Canoga Park are open late or all night, so, let’s get creative.

Gift Cards are a perfect last minute choice and can be found at convenience and drug stores. Most come with holiday themed gift cards and make a perfect last minute gift.

Have a teenager on your list that you forgot? Not a problem, CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens are perfect places to find a gift.  Just about every pop star has a perfume line these days.  Another option is to pick up a gift bag and fill it with nail polish and lip gloss.

 Both Seven Eleven and drug stores have sports related gift items.  Pick up a hat, a can coozie, a sweatshirt or other gift ideas with their favorite sports team logo for a thoughtful gift.

Your neighbor is coming over last minute or you forgot your aunt or uncle; don’t worry you’ve got this. Head to the magazine aisle and pick up a magazine.  Tear out the subscription card and send it off right away and give them a magazine subscription, they will think of you each month when it is delivered in the mail.

Create a basket for him with shaving products such as shaving cream, brushes, razors (disposable or electric), purchase an inexpensive basket and a bow and he will never know you almost forgot.

Who doesn’t love candy? If it is a sibling you forgot, then head down to Walgreens and buy all the candy that reminds you of your childhood and add a card with a sweet message.  Walgreens also carries candy gift boxes from Ghirardelli, Russel Stover and more.

As-Seen-On-TV gifts are perfect. Both Rite Aid and CVS have aisles that feature products that are advertised on TV.  Pick up an Ove’Glove or a Bacon Wave for thoughtful gift ideas.

Have a techie on your oops I forgot list? Seven Eleven and Drug Stores carry gadgets for iPhones, earphones, car chargers and phone cases with all kinds of logos and designs.

Drug stores have a toy section, so head on over and pick up a toy or stuffed animal, put in a holiday bag and you have a perfect gift for that almost forgotten child.

You can pick up DVDs on Christmas Eve, add a package of popcorn and give the gift of a movie night.

If it is your grandmother you forgot, don’t worry, CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreen carry slippers, perfume, powder and magnifying glasses that can be put in to a basket for the perfect gift.
