So what kind of things can I use?
Well, there are a few random every day household items you may have that would be perfect for a little quick and easy bondage. One good example of is zip ties. You know, those plastic ties that you can close all you want, but they're impossible to rip open. You can use these to simply hold your partner's wrists/ankles together. You can also connect multiple ties and use them to hold your partner to a headboard or something similar to that.
You can also use shoe laces. I had a pair of shoes that came with red, silk laces. My husband and I used them frequently to tie me up. They were long enough that we could even tie them together and put them around the headboard to tie my wrists to either side of the bed. You can also use your average, every day shoelaces though.
How about your panties? Not only do your undergarments look incredibly sexy when you're wearing them the right way, you can also use them to tie up your partner's hands. Sure if they struggle too much you may have to buy a new pair of panties, but I say it'd be worth it for a night of kinky fun! Cotton panties are best, as they're much more durable than lace. A thong or G-string would be much easier to tie as well.
Got any tape? If you're worried about it being sticky and ripping out hairs, just stick two pieces of tape together with the adhesive sides touching. This gives you tape with two non-sticky sides. You can then use this to bind your partner. You may have the occasional bit of adhesive that just couldn't be tamed though, so that could cause a problem with this kind of bondage.
So see, you can have fun being tied up without going out and buying special gear. Don't get me wrong, handcuffs are wonderful, but if you're in a hurry, these are some pretty great solutions.

Wait wait. Don't run out and zip-tie your sweetie to the bed just yet.
Zip ties tighten, incrementally, one way. This jeans, as they get tighter you CANNOT UNDO THEM unless you CUT THEM OFF.
They're a high-risk item for bondage and I absolutely caution people against using them. The edges are often sharp, and once they are tight, even the few moments it can take to get a safety scissor in the mix can be enough to cause damage. And, if the bottom flails around, even getting the edge of a safety scissor between flesh and tie can be tricky. They'll also leave rather livid marks very easily.
