VIDEO: Super last-minute holiday gifts
We have found some surprising places to finish that last-minute shopping on your Christmas list.

With the major stores closing soon, many of you may be panicking over those last-minute gifts.

But you don't have to worry, we have found some surprising places to finish your Christmas list.

Many Starbucks stores are open Christmas morning. There you can find gift sets including cups, cards and coffeemakers.

You can also make your own gift basket with items from a gas station including a scratch-off lottery ticket, sunglasses, tropical beverage and coconut candy bar.

Then bundle it up with a cute message.

Next, remember the pharmacy chains. Many are open until midnight Christmas Eve and quite a few are also open on Christmas.

These stores are loaded with gift cards to other retailers.

Finally, the totally desperate, last minute gift for your sweetie.

Hit the local Chinese restaurant for a few take-out boxes and fortune cookies and print out date ideas in the form of fortunes.

Wrap the fortune cookies in a wet paper towel and microwave them for 30 seconds.

Pull out the old fortune, insert the new one and refold.

What could be easier than tossing the ingredients for cookies, cake, brownies or even soup into a pretty jar? Stick a ribbon on it, and you're done.

There's also still time to make a batch of beautiful Christmas cookies or lemon squares that will put a smile on anyone's face.

The key to a successful edible gift is to make sure it's beautifully wrapped, so take time to make sure the presentation is good.

A little creativity and personalization can make any gift meaningful.
