Amazon.co.uk has Christmas wrapped up
The perfect gift everytime
Amazon.co.uk's gift centre (opens October 2000) has ideas for everyone on your Christmas list. Consider our editors to be your very own Santa's helpers and check out their suggestions--it's all listed in easy-to-find sections: for different sexes and ages, favourite hobbies and interests and price ranges. We've also got a mountain of ideas for kids of all ages, laid out in an easy-to-use format.
Pre-ordering makes life simple
You know that your niece wants a DVD or VHS copy of Chicken Run for Christmas, but it isn't available in the shops yet. Use Amazon.co.uk's pre-order feature and you can order it this very second. As soon as it is released we'll send Chicken Run by Royal Mail to the address you choose. And since we don't charge your credit card until we ship the item, you don't need to worry. We have hundreds of items on pre-order, ready to be delivered to you before Christmas.
Wish Lists end unwanted Christmas presents forever
Unwanted Christmas presents will be a thing of the past if your recipients set up a Wish List at Amazon.co.uk. Exactly like the Christmas list you made as a kid, you simply set up a Wish List of the things you most want--your friends and family can buy them for you by accessing your list at Amzon.co.uk. Get all the members of your family to set up a Wish List too and present-buying couldn't be simpler. Let us wrap your gifts and save your time
We love to use wrapping paper! The more miles the merrier! And when your presents arrive to your door giftwrapped, but hidden inside our usual Amazon.co.uk boxes, they will be more difficult for prying eyes and fingers to figure out what's inside. If you are sending giftwrapped presents to family and friends, we ensure they know who the gift is from without knowing how much you spent.
Sending gifts around the country or around the world?
You can send gifts to family and friends anywhere in the world using our multi-address delivery system. Shop at Amazon.co.uk, place one order and send items to as many different addresses as you need. We make sure the right gifts go the right recipient--just think, no more Post Office queues!
Worried about late deliveries?
With our new "track your order" function, you can follow your presents through our distribution centre and out of the door into the hands of the Royal Mail. We're sure this will help put your mind at ease.
Still stuck for ideas?
Don't know which Dreamcast game your little brother is desperate for? Does your sister want "Gladiator" or "Ally McBeal"? No idea whether your dad wants Alex Ferguson's "The Unique Treble" or "The Beatles Anthology"? Not up to speed with the latest of your grandma's favourite classical CDs? Get them a gift certificate from Amazon.co.uk and let them choose their favourites. Forgot to buy a gift for someone, but they remembered you? Order a gift certificate from Amazon.co.uk and we can send it to them anywhere in the world within hours of your order.
