Disclaimer

Unfortunately, you can only purchase Kindle eBooks as gifts if you’re sending them to someone in your country. So if you’re in the US for example, you can only send to recipients in the US as well. If the recipient isn’t in your country, they will not be able to redeem the book. In this case, you can either send it to another recipient or request for a refund.
