Gift wrapping reply template

Make the gift feel like a gift.

Tell shoppers how to add wrapping and a note, and whether the price shows inside the box.Updated · By Ziyad Basheer

Short answer

Shoppers sending a gift want to know three things: whether you wrap, where the note goes, and whether the recipient sees the price. Answer all three, and say how to add a note once the order is placed.
