Gifting
We offer a variety of services that make the Apple Online Store the
ideal place for you to purchase items to give as gifts for family and friends.

Gift Messaging
For most items in our store, you can include a gift message on the packing slip — at no charge.
When you select to put an item in your cart, just select the checkbox that says “This is a gift” or “Add a free gift message.” On the Basket page, click the "Add Free Gift Message" link, enter your message, and click the "Save Message" link. If your order includes items intended for different recipients, you can enter a message for each item so that when the gifts arrive, it will be clear which item is intended for whom. At this time, the Apple Online Store does not support shipping items in a single order to multiple shipping addresses. To send gifts to different addresses, please place a new order through the Apple Online Store — one order per shipping address.
Do not worry about pricing information being displayed for gift orders. For all orders, price information is not displayed on the packing slip but is displayed on email communications and postal invoices when sent. So, if you have a gift shipped directly to family or friends, they won’t see how much it cost.
Please note that Apple Print Products are ineligible for gift messaging.
Apple Gift Package
When you order a new iPod, iPad, MacBook Pro, or select Apple-branded software and accessories, you can add a special touch to your gift: the Apple Gift Package (subject to availability). The Apple Gift Package is a signature gift box with a red ribbon and a greeting card with your personal message.
Computer gift packaging is only available for standard configuration models of MacBook Pro.
To add gift packaging:
- When you add an iPod, iPad, or portable Mac to your cart, just select the checkbox that says "This is a gift," and you will automatically be given the option to add gift packaging.
- When you add a gift-eligible software or accessory to your cart, you can add the Apple Gift Package on the Cart page.
Engrave Your iPod or iPad
Want to make your new iPod or iPad your own? You can engrave any model of new iPad, iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod classic, and iPod touch. Personalised laser engraving is only available on the Apple Online Store. Engraving is not offered on refurbished products.
After you select your iPod or iPad from the Apple Online Store, you will be offered the option to enter up to one line of text for iPod shuffle and iPod nano, and up to two lines of text for iPod classic, iPod touch, and iPad. As you type, you’ll see an image on the left side of the page that represents what your text will look like. The text will be engraved near the top, on the back of the product, just like it appears in the image.
Please make sure that everything is spelled correctly, as your engraved iPod can not be returned. You may wish to review our Sales and Refunds Policy. You may be able to make changes to the engraved text or cancel your item if the online Order Status indicates that your iPod has “Not Yet Shipped.” See the Online Self Service Section for further details.
Corporate Gifts
For business gifts, employee recognition, sales incentives, client appreciation and special events, an iPod makes the perfect gift. Order any combination of the popular iPod family. Customise your iPods with your company logo or text engraving and add music with prepaid iTunes Music Cards.
