    There is no "gift" option available on the Origin store. If you accidentally purchased a copy of a already owned expansion, you can get in contact with our support team. If you want to gift him the expansion, you could use other retailers for a gamecode or just classy if you give him the money for the game.

    Cheers

You should make "Is this a gift" an option for your games.  I had the same issue, a friend wanted to buy me a gift of a game, he's across the country, and wanted us to play together.  He's gifted me games on Steam, so we tried to do the same with Origin.  It's rather disappointing this isn't an option.  It's one of the reasons I prefer making my purchases on Steam.

    I'm very disappointed that i can not purchase games to gift to other origin accounts.  I do this very often on steam, this reinforces my opinion that origin is still a poor copy of steam's services.
