The original gift-sender won't know that the recipient decided not to receive their gift and get the Amazon gift card instead. The original sender will just be notified by Amazon that the recipient said something generic like "Thanks for the gift"...not knowing an exchange happened.
Supposedly, this will make everyone happy.
I like it. I've got friends and relatives who move a lot and some who don't check their mail with any regularity. I'd be happy to write a gift note on the Amazon order that says something like, "Six Seasons is one of my favorite cookbooks and I think you'd love it, too, but please feel free to make another choice if you'd prefer something different." Probably saves Amazon on returns, too.
