Ah, clever buggers. I guess they assume that you must be odd if you want to wrap and send it yourself. Whyever would you want to do that when they can do a delightfully personal and hand-written computer print-out of your birthday message?
I guess I'll just have to take a chance and buy something from it anyway, and hope no one else has bought the same gift in Real Life and wrapped it up better than Amazon. :-)
My gosh. I didn't expect there to be so much traffic on it that several people trying to buy the same thing would be an issue!
I suppose if you wanted to 'mark' something as having been bought elsewhere, the only way would be to get in touch with the recipient as soon as you'd bought it, so they could take it off the list. (Though that does mean no mysterious surprise parcels in the post...)
bateleur: Things not on the wishlist aren't necessarily things I don't want, they might be things I would want if I knew about them. :)
You're very welcome! I'm going to hold off on doing an order for a couple more days though so that if anyone's ordering at the same time as me we don't get our wires crossed! :-)

(I don't have a Wlist either, as it happens!)
