It's not something there's an easy subsitute for, unfortunately. Probably star anise would give the closest flavour - it's the dominant flavour in five spirce - but even then it's not going to be quite right.
I'd recommend that you buy a packet - or do you have a store where you can buy spices in bulk, so you only need to buy a spoonful or so...
