How do you gift someone a product?  Like if I want to buy something for someone, how do I do that?

Thx

    One way is to buy a gift card for the amount of the item you wish to gift and send it to them so they can redeem it.  I've done this for/to other people (and to myself) and it works great, is easy to do and requires only that you know their email address (to send the redemption code to).

    That's one way.

    Cool. Never bought a gift card before!

    You don't strictly need their email address either - I've given and received prizes in the form of GCs with the code PM'd from or to me (not everyone wants to hand their email address around)

    LOL, I've never received a prize and I've been here since 2012! So I wasn't even aware they gave GC for things like that. And email?  Never. Unless it's ppl I test for or contacts.

    Hey, that works too!  Niiiice.  :)
    (I'm not a fan of giving my email address out either.)

    The store does not include an option to buy a product for someone else. Sending the person a gift card code so they can make the purchase is your best option.

    You don't need it at all — if you buy the GC for yourself, the code gets e-mailed to you, then you can e-mail or PM the code to someone else.

    ...in which case you would need their email address.

    Not necessaily. You could also send them the code by PM (Private Message).

    ... which is exactly what I meant (six posts ago)
