Johnisnotcool: What about just buying them a 5.99 game and letting them pick it? that would be sweet

It's in the works but we wanted to get this system up first. No set timeframe for it, but we're working on it!

Hi,
What exactly do you mean by 'broken'? We'll try to help out but first we need to know where to start. =)

Baboy: Just as a curiosity, do you have to register to get the gift? If so, I just hope people don't find mails like "You've been given a free game!" that they trash instantly, fearing obvious spam.

Yes, you have to create an account on gog.com in order to redeem you gift. But we've put a lot of work to prepare a classy email, informing you that your friend has bought you a gift.
Of course you can send the system email to yourself and then give the gift certificate to you friends any way you like (email, instant message etc.)

deathkitten: 1. let us print out a voucher to give instead of needing to know their email address

You can do that. :) Simple set yourself as a gift recipient, print e-mail you'll receive and give it to anyone you want. :)

lotr-sam0711: All I get is 404 errors with the cute bear anytime I click on the link to any of the gift options for any game. Of course, it's totally worth having the error just to see the sad bear but I have a feeling that's not what you intended.

That's very strange as the gift links are very same for everyone. Just in case, hit ctrl+f5 or ctrl+shift+r to refresh abd override your browser's cache...
If that won't help, I'd recommend contacting support but please include more info that could help us nail the problem... like what game are you trying to buy, what's the link to the gift option on that game page, what os & browser are you using (and what plugins do you have installed)... also please let us know if it does happen for you in other browsers as well.
