Besides, Amazon could be flooded with returns and complaints if they did that.

I'm flattered you feel my holiday is that important.
But I'm afraid you are laboring under a (typical) delusion.
Chanukah is NOT a holiday-of-giving-gifts.
It is a holiday in the sense that it is a religious celebration of a time in our history when we almost died, but didn't.
As is oft mentioned: "They tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat." Not "let's give each other gifts".
The secularization of Christmas hasn't hit us yet, and I don't anticipate it ever will.
Of course, Jews are cheap, right?
We'll buy things whenever they are on sale...
Speaking of which, one of my favorite times of the year just passed by recently
the Holiday of Sale-Price Chocolate.
