To be eligible for gifting, the exclusive must be listed at a fixed price and available for resale. When you list an exclusive for sale, you’ll find “Give as a gift” as an option. Clicking the button brings up a list of your supporters to choose from, where you can choose the lucky recipient. After their username is selected, your recipient will receive an
