We make it easy to send most items as gifts. You may send the items in your Shopping Cart to different shipping addresses--simply specify the name and shipping address of each recipient when you fill out the order form.

If the items are fulfilled by Amazon.com, click the View Cart icon at the top of our web site when you are ready to complete your purchase, and check the box next to the line that reads "Add gift-wrap/note." (If the item can't be wrapped, the line will simply read "Add gift note.") You can also find this checkbox in the blue Ready to Buy? box on an item's product detail page if your 1-Click^® settings are turned on.

Some items sold by Amazon Merchants, including selected items in the Gourmet and Apparel & Accessories stores, may be gift-wrapped or have a gift message included with the package. If this option is available for an Amazon Merchant item, you will see the phrase "Gift options" appear underneath the item on the last page of the order form. Click the "Change" link to select your gift wrap or messaging. The giftwrap cost, and an image of the wrapping if available, will be displayed on the resulting page.

At this time, you cannot designate items purchased from Amazon Marketplace or Auctions sellers as gifts.

For items sold by Amazon.com, if you check the "Add gift-wrap/note" box, you can have us wrap your gift or add a free gift note. Please note that you must add a gift note or select wrapping for your order to be designated as a gift. Even if you are having the items shipped to yourself, you should let us know your order is a gift. Here's why:

• We won't include the price of the items on the packing slip included with the order.
• We will ignore items you order as gifts when recommending items to you based upon your past purchases.
• If the recipient needs to return an item, we will send a gift certificate for the amount of the return; please note that this gift certificate will be sent to the same address to which the order was shipped.
• If you purchase an item from a registry, we'll indicate that the item has already been purchased so the recipient doesn't receive a duplicate gift from someone else.
• If you order a magazine subscription as a gift, a postcard announcing your gift subscription will be sent to the recipient within approximately three weeks of your order. Your name and the title of the magazine will be included on the postcard.
