Can I send gifts anonymously on Amazon?
If customers want to keep their gift private, they can pay with an Amazon gift card.
Here’s how to send an anonymous gift using a gift card:
- First, customers can purchase an Amazon gift card in an amount that matches the recipient’s gift requirements.
- After a customer purchases a gift card, they can choose their own email address as the gift card receipt. This will provide them with vouchers that can be used to purchase gifts!
- After purchasing a gift card, customers can select the items they want to send and add them to their cart and tick the “This Order Contains a Gift” checkbox.
- After customers check out and add the recipient’s home address, they must select “Gift Receipt” to hide the price of the gift they sent.
Buying a gift using an Amazon gift card will help keep the address and name of the person buying the gift private.
Can I buy a gift on Amazon for someone from another country?
Amazon allows customers to send gifts to other countries as long as the item they purchased is available in the country or region being sent to!
While products may be available at the customer’s location, such items may not be available at the customer’s gift location.
In order to check if a product is in stock, customers can switch their country on Amazon to where the recipient is and check if the product page says it is in stock or out of stock!
Is there a gift receipt for gifts from Amazon?
If a customer is concerned that their recipient won’t like their gift or needs to return it, they can return it using the Gift Receipt provided by Amazon!
In order to send a recipient a gift receipt, they can select the “Gift Receipt” option during checkout. They will receive their receipt in email shortly after receiving their gift!
What can I add to an Amazon gift?
Amazon offers customers a variety of ways to gift their friends and family! Currently, customers can add gift wrap, personal notes, gift bags and gift receipts to their orders.
Not every item on Amazon is eligible for gift wrap, depending on whether the item is sold directly by Amazon or by a third-party seller.
However, customers can still ship most items to a friend or family member’s address without gift wrap! If an item is not eligible for gift wrap, a pop-up prompt will appear when the customer adds it to their cart.

Recipients who want to return a gift can easily do so through Amazon’s Gift Return Center! In order to use this service, customers can do the following:

- Next, customers can choose their return preferences. If there are Amazon lockers in their area, they can choose which locker to return!
If the recipient cannot find the order number on the gift, they can contact Amazon customer service and provide them with the tracking number.
However, gift recipients must ask their gift giver for shipping information if a tracking number is not provided to them.
How to hide Amazon gifts from other account users?
If a customer is buying a gift for a family member who uses the same Amazon account, they can hide their order by doing the following:
- Turn off their Echo devices. Alexa will announce delivery and shipping updates, so turning off the device will prevent family members from overhearing their gift details.
- Archive order. Customers can archive the order history of their gift, which will prevent family members from viewing the gift placed.
- Ship the gift to an Amazon locker. Customers can send their gifts to the Amazon Locker store, which will prevent family members from seeing the gift upon arrival.
