Amazon: How to Send Anonymous Gifts
This is how to send an anonymous gift via Amazon:
- First, purchase a gift certificate with the amount you wish to spend on the gift.
- Next, choose your email address to be the recipient of your gift card.
- Soon after, you will receive an email with the code.
- Search for the product you are looking for on Amazon. Add it to your shopping cart
- You may have the option to check the item as gift. If this is the case, your gift will be wrapped and ready for shipping as a lovely surprise.
- After you’ve purchased your item, go to checkout and enter the delivery address for the recipient.
- Check the box “gift receipt” on the “choose gift options” page so that you can hide the item’s receipt.
- You’ll remain anonymous when you add the gift certificate because it won’t appear on the gift. Then, pay with your card. That’s it!

What other options are there to anonymously gift?
There are many other ways to accomplish this, so let’s review some of the most popular and see if they’re worth it.
As we mentioned, this happens after you receive the gift from any retailer. Then you need to follow these steps:
- After you receive the gift, wrap it and write a note explaining why. You can also let your recipient find the note by giving clues if they are feeling more imaginative.
- You then place it in a shipping container or mail box to ensure that it doesn’t get lost. If it is fragile, wrap it in appropriate packaging.
- This is the most important step. Write down the address and name of the recipient. Make sure you don’t make any mistakes.
- Finally, mail your gift package through a public postal office or private company.
Another popular online retailer is eBay. It offers a wide range of used products and is reliable with its sellers.
- First, buy the item you wish to gift. Next, add the name of the recipient to your eBay listing.
- Use your shipping information when adding an item.
- If the packaging slip is not included with the item, the recipient will not be able to access any of your information. This will include your eBay name. However, you can opt out by notifying the seller.
Once you have completed each step, keep track of your package to ensure it reaches its destination.
