GiftboxDo you want to share that amazing movie, TV show or song you just discovered with a friend or family member who is too far away to show personally? Then you are just going to have to send it as a gift. These steps will show you how.

  1. In iTunes, click iTunes Store in the Source list.
  2. Find a song, album, audiobook, video, or iPod click wheel game that you want to give to someone. Then, do one of the following:
    • To gift a song, click the arrow to the right of the Buy button; in the resulting menu, click “Gift this Song.”
    • To gift an album, click the arrow to the right of the Buy button; in the resulting menu, click “Gift this Album.”
    • To gift an audiobook, click “Gift This Audiobook” below the Add Book or Buy Book button.
    • To gift a music video or movie, click the arrow to the right of the Buy button; in the resulting menu, click “Gift this Video” or “Gift this Movie.”
    • To gift a TV show, click the arrow to the right of the Buy button; in the resulting menu, click “Gift this TV Season,” then either click the “Gift Season” or “Gift Episode” button next to an episode you wish to give.
    • To gift a Game, click Gift This Game below the Add Game or Buy Game button.
iTunes Gift
  1. Once you’ve clicked the Gift button, you’ll either be asked to sign in with your account name and password, or you’ll see a “Give a Gift” page in which you’ll need to fill in your recipient’s (and your) details, such as name, email address, and a personal message. It doesn’t matter which screen you get first—you will get both.

Once you’ve successfully signed in and completed the gift form, you’ll be brought to a page to review your purchase and confirm it.
