Here's how to send gifts on Flipkart like a pro
31 Jan 2025

Gifting is an expression of love, and online shopping has made it easier to send gifts to your loved ones.

However, unlike Amazon, Flipkart's app does not have a direct gift-wrapping feature.

This guide will show you how to use the available options and a little bit of creativity to achieve the same effect.

Navigating through Flipkart's features
Setup

Launch the Flipkart app on your Android phone and sign in to your account.

Search for the desired gift and add it to your cart.

To add a gift card, navigate to "Supercoin Zone," select "Gift Cards," then "Add Gift Card."

Input the 16-digit number and PIN.

This way, you can either add money to their next purchase or surprise them with a card that's already loaded up!

Crafting your gift message
Personalization

Look for a gift marking option at checkout. It's rare, but it means the item is a gift.

If not available, use "Special Instructions" to tell the seller it's a gift.

While Flipkart doesn't offer gift wrapping directly, marking an item as a gift can encourage sellers to package your order more carefully.

Arranging external gift wrapping
Wrapping

Since Flipkart doesn't offer direct gift wrapping, you can easily plan it after delivery.

Buy wrapping materials from nearby shops or if you want to add a special touch, you can even hire professional services.

Adding a personal handwritten note or card with your message is a great way to make sure that personal touch is there between the sender and the receiver.

Ensuring smooth delivery
Tracking

Keep an eye on the tracking info from Flipkart once your order is on its way.

It's best to get gifts delivered to yourself first so you can handle the wrapping and note-writing before gifting them or shipping them out.

This way, even without a dedicated gifting feature within Flipkart, every recipient can still feel the love and care behind each gift they receive through your personal touches.
