German term or phrase: weiter verschenken
Edle Schmuckstücke liefern wir natürlich nicht in schnöden Plastikbeuteln: Zu jedem Artikel den Sie bei uns kaufen, bekommen Sie ein exklusives Etui gratis dazu. Darin können Sie den Schmuck gleich WEITER VERSCHENKEN – oder ihn bei sich zu Hause stilvoll und sicher aufbewahren.

Thanks in advance!

to give it away as it is


Explanation:
You can give it away as it is, or you can give it away in the case.

The case/packaging that they provide is so attractive that there is no need for any additional wrapping if you're giving it as a present.
