How to Gift an eBook on Amazon

This is super easy, but I’m dedicating a blog to this because…well, I don’t think a lot of people know this is an option.

If you need a last-minute gift and the recipient is a HUGE bookworm, you can totally gift them eBooks through Amazon with the click of a few buttons. Hell, you can gift them a book at 11:59 on Christmas Eve and get this in just under the wire!

Side note: If you’re a spouse or partner that saved his/her shopping until the last minute, this will make you look like a hero to your partner. No need to go to the shops and lurk around, being spritzed by perfume sellers to cover your scent of desperation.

How easy is it to gift an eBook?

Let’s say you want to gift them a copy of my book, The Cuffing Season Contract. And, yes, this is shameless promotion for my book. Have we met?

Step 1: Find the book on Amazon. (Please note that the book is currently on sale for November and will not always be that price!)

Step 2: Do you see that “Buy for Others” option on the right-hand side at the bottom of my graphic above? Yeah? Click that.

Step 3: Fill out the form. You choose whether Amazon sends the redemption code directly to the recipient, or you have the option to send it yourself. Enter the recipient’s email address, who it’s from, and add a message. If you want Amazon to send on a certain date, you also have that option.

That’s it! Easy peesy. Send them one book or several! There are wonderful deals this week, including (ahem) The Cuffing Season Contract for 99 cents! (Only on sale through November 30th, 2023!) You can find 9 other books at 99 cents and send them to the reader in your life for only $10.

There I go shamelessly promoting again…

“But, Tori, your book is only on sale in November, and I want it for a Christmas present.”

All good. Just buy it now while it’s on sale and have the delivery date in the box above set to the date you want them to get it. In fact, you can do this any time within 45 days if you find 99 cent sales! Just have them sent at Christmas or within 45 days of your event!

Happy reading! (And happy gifting!)
