Questions
How much do the just in case gifts here cost?
16 have a price read today, from $5.34 for Bicycle Standard Playing Cards, 2 Pack, Red and Blue to $23.99 for Wissotzky Tea Chest, 42 Tea Bags in 6 Flavors. 16 under $25, 16 under $50, 16 under $100.
Can the price stay out of the box?
Yes. Mark the order as a gift at checkout and the packing slip leaves the prices off; a gift message is free, and eligible items can be gift wrapped. Gift options can still be added from Your Orders until the order ships.
What if they want to return it?
The gift receipt carries a link to start a return. A gift recipient is refunded to their Amazon gift card balance once the item is back, in the condition it arrived; a return started by the buyer can go back to the original card.
