The first step in purchasing a Kindle gift card is deciding what type of gift card to purchase. you have three options:
- kindle eCard: An eCard can be sent to the recipient via email or text, and delivery can be scheduled up to a year in advance. this is the perfect last minute gift as it can be delivered right away. to find the kindle version of the card that says “happy reading”, you’ll need to click to “see more” designs and then look through the design pages until you see the kindle logo of a boy sitting under a tree.
- kindle print at home gift card: A print at home gift card allows you to give a physical card to the recipient. After purchasing the gift card, you will receive a pdf card that you can print, fold, and give as a gift. just click “see more” to see more designs and then look through the options until you see the kindle logo!
- kindle gift card in a greeting card – The final option is to purchase a physical gift card that is placed inside a blank greeting card. You can mail the gift card directly to the recipient and add a personalized gift message at checkout (which is printed on the packing slip, not the card), or you can mail it yourself and then give it to the recipient yourself. (side note: this gift card is the prettiest since the gift card itself says “happy reading!”)
so choose which form of kindle gift card you’d like and then continue to the next step.

For eGift and Print at Home gift cards, you will now need to enter information about the recipient. (Gift cards in a greeting card don’t require this step).
Some details you may need to enter include the recipient’s email address or name, as well as your name and any short personalized gift messages you’d like to send. You can also choose the number of gift cards at this point, as well as choose a delivery date if you’re sending an eGift card.
