1. A rubber band on which you’ve written “LOVE."

This is an old standby. If you happen to have a rubber band lying around your car, you can quickly write "LOVE" on it for an easy and practical makeshift bracelet. This is a viable option if you're in a pinch and not getting a gift is simply out of the question.

2. An old rusty nickel.

Look, this has been in your car for seven years now and not going anywhere any time soon. Maybe you can make up some sentimentality to it. Like that it was passed down from generation to generation. It's an easy lie because the surface is so rusty that the mint year is completely unreadable. Worth a shot I guess?

3. Broken pair of sunglasses.

These have been sitting under the driver's seat since 2007. Sure, they're a little broken, but if it's absolutely and completely necessary to have have a gift, this is at least something.

4. Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins CD with a Snickers glued to it.

"The world is a vampire." This really resonated with you in high school, and for some reason, this CD is still floating around in the back seat of your car, which is strange considering your car's CD player no longer works. Oh and look at that! A Snickers bar! If you have glue lying around you can slap it on top for a complete package, but if you can't, just hand it to your significant other separately. Once again, please only do this if you positively haveto.

5. Old iPhone 4 charger with a DiGiorno Pizza coupon taped to it.

Okay, this charger is a little out of date, and you're pretty sure your significant other has a newer iPhone, too. But luckily, that DiGiorno coupon you got at the grocery store last month is still sitting in your armrest. $2 off two large pizzas. Not a bad deal. Tape that sucker onto the charger and call it gift, but only if you absolutely must.

6. Paperclip necklace.

This is a more advanced last minute gift, but can work in an emergency if you have the supplies and the time. Simply thread the paperclips together until you think it's long enough to be a necklace. I don't know, uh...16 inches-ish? This is a truly bad idea that should only be attempted if your relationship depends on having something, anything, as a gift.

7. Flashlight where the batteries represent your heart, or something.

Okay, so this actually serves a practical purpose in your car, but you've yet to really need it. And plus you can always get a new one. But if you say "the batteries represent my heart" before you hand it off it almostcomes off as a romantic and symbolic gesture. Look, you don't have a lot of time here. Just pull the trigger on this.

8. Your Subway rewards card.

Okay, you never go to Subway so there's probably not a lot of points on this thing. I'm not saying this is a good idea, but if you have absolutely nothing else, this can work, I guess.

9. Possibly expired Clif bar.

You've been seeing this Clif bar in your car for so long that it is almost definitely expired by now. Unfortunately, you can't find the expiration date on the packaging. Maybe you could gift it and then secretly dispose of it later before they have a chance to eat it. I don't know.

10. A doodle you drew of Beavis.

So you were bored at work earlier and did a little doodle of Beavis from the acclaimed MTV cartoon Beavis & Butthead. It looks pretty good. Maybe they'll like it? Do they like that show? Do you have any idea?

11. Jug of fluid in your trunk.

What is in this jug? Is this washer fluid maybe? Why do you have it? No time to really think about it. Surely you can come up with something to pass this off as romantic. Meet me halfway here.

12. Your car, a 1997 Hyundai Sonata.

If you are in full blown panic mode, just give them your keys. "This is yours now," you can say. I don't know. You're on your own.
