It’s December! (What???) Time to get the holiday decorations out of storage and to start thinking about where you put those boxes, ribbons, and bows. Of course, you could skip some of those be-ribboned boxes this year in favor of giving The World’s Easiest Gift. (No—not cash.) Books! Ebooks, specifically. They’re reasonably priced. Easily personalized. Ready when you are. And shipping is always free! Best of all? You can wrap this one up in five easy steps.
Step One: Search for the book you wish to gift. (Hint below.) Be sure to click on the Kindle format box—otherwise the “Give as a Gift” option will not be available to you.
Step Two: Once you’ve clicked on the Kindle format box, shift your gaze to the right, and click on the “Give as a Gift” box.
Step Three: Clicking the “Give as a Gift” box will take you to a new page which looks like the screenshot below, and it is here you will finalize your gifting.
Step Four: Fill in the email address of the person to whom you wish to gift the ebook there where it says “Email address”. Next, click on the small box beside “Delivery Date” so you can choose the specific date on which you’d like to have your ebook gift delivered. Finalize the personalization of your gift by filling in the recipient’s name, your name, and a gift message.
Step Five: You’re almost finished . . . simply click “Place your order” on the top or bottom of your current page and—Voila! Amazon will send an email to the recipient of your gift on the day you chose for delivery. The email will contain detailed instructions ensuring your giftee is duly gifted.
