I am changing the spark plugs in my car and find myself without my spark

Is there any way I can simulate this gap (thickness) of .05" by using
standard items in my garage, like nails, wires, drills bits, etc?

Probably, but why bother? ...

What in "Would save me a long trip to the nearest supply house." didn't

If the OP is so paranoid about the gap that he won't risk driving to town on
slightly incorrectly gapped plugs - then have him use a CD - CD's are .047"
thick.
