Activate Gift Notes using a custom cart attribute
1. Shopify Admin | Edit your store code source to add the gift note field

</form>.
<p>
<label for="gift-note">Add a free gift note</label>
<textarea id="gift-note" name="attributes[bigblue-gift-note]">{{ cart.attributes["bigblue-gift-note"] }}</textarea>
</p>
Note: You can modify the code above but the above version is the by-default code.
2. (optional) Shopify Admin | Translate it to your other store languages
If you store is translated to other languages, you should probably edit the label to your other store languages. Depending on which app or module you use for translations, proceed to the label translation.
