Again... this is the WRONG FORUM.
Plus, the AHQ is for player-to-player self-help and technical discussions. No one here can help with accounts, entitlements, purchases, or refunds. For all of those you need to be talking to the EA Game Advisors at help.ea.com. That is, simply, THE ONLY WAY to get assistance with those sorts of problems.
I'm beginning to despise this company. I'm tired of these circular links that provide no answers for the simpliest questions. This has to be the worst company on the planet when it comes to customer support. They completely isolated themselves from their customer base with these phony websites.
All I want to do is find out how to purchase a game as a gift. Now you would think they would provide that information. They have no interest in their customer base.
As for "gifting", there's no way to do it through EA/Origin directly.
But you can make the purchase through Amazon.com and either have the physical product shipped to the intended recipient, or if you get the digital-download version you can forward the email with the product code to the person you're giving it to.
