132 views
When sending a gift on Amazon, you have the option to include a gift receipt and a personal message. However, unless you check the box to include your name in the gift message, the recipient won't automatically know who sent the gift. Whilst the packaging may not reveal your identity outright, the recipient can contact Amazon Customer Service to inquire about the sender's details if necessary, so complete anonymity isn't guaranteed.
