The short answer
Embrulhar para presente means to wrap as a gift, and embalagem para presente means gift packaging. Ask whether the service is available and whether there is an additional charge; policies differ between stores.
Ask whether the store wraps gifts
If you need the package by a particular day, explain the date before paying and ask whether the wrapping will be ready in time.
Vocês embrulham para presente?
Do you wrap items as gifts?
A embalagem para presente fica pronta hoje?
Will the gift wrapping be ready today?
Keep the price out of the gift package
Ask for a comprovante sem o preço (receipt without the price) or a nota de troca (exchange receipt) if the store offers one. These terms describe what you want; each retailer decides which receipt formats it can provide.
Keep the full receipt for yourself in case you need to check the purchase details later.
Pode colocar um comprovante sem o preço dentro da sacola?
Could you put a receipt without the price in the bag?
Vocês têm nota de troca para presente?
Do you have a gift exchange receipt?
Confirm which items will be wrapped
If you bought more than one item, specify which one is the gift. Use este vai para presente (this one is for a gift) while pointing to the product or repeating its name.
Check that any card or message is attached to the right package before leaving the store.
Só este livro vai para presente; os outros são para mim.
Only this book is a gift; the others are for me.
Você pode colocar o cartão junto com a caixa?
Could you put the card with the box?
Put it into practice
Ask whether gift wrapping and a price-free or exchange receipt are available, then confirm which item is the present.
