Gifting skins in Fortnite is a great way to surprise your friends with a cool new look for their character. It's a popular feature that lets you share the fun and excitement of new in-game items. To gift a skin, you need to have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled on your Epic Games account and be friends with the person for at least 48 hours before you can send them a gift.

How to Gift Skins in Fortnite

Gifting skins in Fortnite is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do it:

1. Launch Fortnite: Open the game on your PC, console, or mobile device.

2. Go to the Item Shop: From the main menu, navigate to the Item Shop. This is where you'll find all the latest skins, emotes, and other cosmetic items.

3. Select an Item: Browse the shop and choose the skin you want to gift.

4. Choose "Buy As A Gift": Once you've selected an item, you'll see an option to "Buy As A Gift." Click on it.

5. Select a Friend: A list of your friends will appear. Choose the friend you want to send the gift to. Remember, you can only gift to people who have been on your friends list for at least two days.

6. Add a Personal Message (Optional): You can add a custom message to your gift to make it more personal.

7. Confirm the Purchase: Double-check everything and then confirm your purchase. The gift will be sent to your friend the next time they log in.

I remember when the Master Chief skin was released. I was so excited, but my friend couldn't afford it at the time. I decided to surprise him. Following the steps, I sent him the skin as a gift. He was so happy when he logged in and saw it. It was a great feeling to be able to do that for him.

A while back, I wanted to gift my cousin a skin for her birthday. I had the V-Bucks ready and everything. But when I went to send the gift, I realized we had just become friends on Fortnite the day before. I had to wait another 24 hours before I could send it. It was a bit of a bummer, but it taught me to plan ahead for gifting.

Gifting is a fun way to share the Fortnite experience with your friends. Just make sure you have 2FA enabled and have been friends with the person for at least 48 hours.
