You have my condolences. Though if you're one who prefers to pick your own books rather than receive gifts, this is probably a decent outcome.

I see you're in the UK. It's a shame that Amazon UK doesn't support gifting the same way it works in the USA. Though a gift certificate with a recommendation for what you spend it on may be adequate.

It helps that Amazon lets you specify date and time for the email.

Everyone in my family likes wrapped gifts. So, when I give something online, I print off a picture of it, tape it to the inside of a box, then wrap the box to go under the tree. They then find the online information on the morning of the 26th (to avoid spoilers).
