   Go to the Shop. When you launch Fortnite, this is the tab at the top of the page, between Locker and Battle Pass.

   • To gift skins in Fortnite, you must have two-factor authentication activated on your account and a valid payment method.
   • You can only gift items from the Shop. Currently, you can't gift items from your own locker.

   Select an item. This can be a character skin, emote, spray, or Bundle.

   • With Version 16.50, you can now gift Bundles without worrying about gifting the same items twice. Dynamic Bundle gifting allows you to gift only the missing items of a Bundle to your friend.

   Select a friend. You can find your friend from the list or use the search bar.

   • It's recommended to search for your friend's Epic Games display name rather than console gamertag to avoid sending the gift to the wrong person. You cannot refund a gift after it's been sent.
   • If a friend already owns the item, you'll see OWNED in green font where the price would be.

   Confirm your purchase. If you don't have enough V-Bucks in your account, you'll be asked to add more first.

   • The gift will be sent immediately.
