CARY, N.C. -- The Pantry Inc. and its Kangaroo Express is sharing Christmas gift ideas with stressed-out holiday shoppers. "There always seems to be that one person you forget, or that acquaintance you didn't expect to give you a gift, but did anyway," the company said, sharing "some easy gift ideas that you can grab from your local convenience store. From stocking stuffers to gift baskets, you can say you remembered (even when you didn't)."
The ideas include: Gift Cards: No matter how much you want to spend, a gift card to Kangaroo Express could mean [image-nocss] a full tank of gasoline or a week's supply of Bean Street Coffee. Coffee: A $5 Kangaroo Express gift card will provide free Bean Street Coffee coffee for a week; only $20 for a month. Wrap the gift card inside a Bean Street Coffee reusable mug. Lottery Tickets: Both as a great stocking stuffer and small present to give the host of holiday festivities, lottery tickets are affordable and available in a variety of price points. Candy: A great stocking stuffer; candy is small, loved by all and will not break the bank.
Snack Pack: Snacks make great stocking stuffers, but if arranging them together in a basket makes a great present. Start out with a couple bags of Chex Mix; get adventurous with the flavors. Beer Exchange: Forget to pick names for Secret Santa? The beer exchange is a great alternative! Gather six to 12 of your closest friends at your nearest Kangaroo Express and each purchase a six-pack or case of your favorite beers--or ones you've never tried before. Then swap so each person has a diverse collection of beers.
