Then give yourself a pat on the back, knowing that your friend will get a pleasant birthday surprise while you’re taking underwater photos of elusive leaf scorpionfish. Just click in the “Delivery date” field and pick your friend’s birthday on the handy calendar that pops up. If you don’t change the “Delivery date”, Amazon will send the gift now.īut let’s say you want your gift to appear in your friend’s email inbox on their birthday, while you’re on a weeklong scuba dive trip in Indonesia (hey, I can dream!). Any email address they read will work fine.
It doesn’t matter if this is the address your friend uses for their Amazon account. If you want to send the gift directly to your friend, choose the first option “Email the gift directly to my recipient” and enter their email address. Over on the right in the green section you should see an orange “Give as a Gift” button.Ĭlicking that button will take you to the “Complete your gift purchase” page, where Amazon gives you a few options to control and customize your gift. Be sure you’re looking at the listing that says “” after the title. Just as when buying a printed book, the first step is to find the book on Amazon’s website. Want to hand deliver it or email it yourself? Amazon has you covered there too. Want to buy it now but have it delivered on a future date (maybe so they get it right on their birthday)? No worries. Once you’ve found the book you want to give, you’re just a few clicks away from (electronically) wrapping it up and sending it to your friend.ĭon’t know what email address your friend uses for their Amazon account? Not a problem. I sent a Kindle book as a gift for the first time a few days ago and, not surprisingly, Amazon makes it really easy for you to buy and send gifts.
