Amazon Gift Card...For Someone Else. QUESTION Please

[js]

Hi.
I would like to give my nephew a $50 Amazon Gift card for his Kindle HD so he can download movies and games.
What is the easiest way for me to put the $50 on the account?

Should I just purchase a $50 gift card on Amazon and send it to my sister or is there a way for me to have it placed on his/my sister's actual account as a gift so no card would have to be involved?

Thanks so much!

Thank you.

If anyone else has purchased and given a gift card to someone else's account can you please let me know.

Thanks.

apparently, there are several ways to do it.

You can email a gift card.

Go to Amazon.com. Across the top of the page are links for "Today's Deals", "Gift Cards" and "Help". Click on Gift Cards and you'll be walked through the process. You can even write a note to be sent along with the gift e-card.

ETA: This is pretty cool! Thanks OP for questioning this. My brother's GF has a Kindle - I may just use this email thing myself!

I've used the email gift card multiple times. It works great. All they do is enter the code, just like on a regular gift card.
