Refurbished iPhone: Gifting — is it obvious what it is (alien.top)

Just saw the exact model iPhone I want to buy my mom for Christmas but it’s refurbished. I’m not in the country at the moment so if I get it delivered to her house, will it be immediately obvious what it is when she gets it?

Apple Refurbished items come in a plain white box (no graphics) and also say “Certified Refurbished” on the front in small grey font. I’ve ordered tons from Apple Refurb; Macs, phones and watches all come the same way as I described.

Thanks! In that case I won’t be sending one to my mum for Christmas! If only they offered gift packing on refurbs but it seems Apple don’t do this.
