Fictionwise has some kind of gift certificate setup. It's unclear whether it's "a gift certificate with link to the chosen book" or "a discount code worth 100% of the price of that book."
It's still basic & fairly pathetic, and requires the recipient to redeem it. Not like "buy book; have it shipped to friends house;" it's "buy coupon, have it sent to friend with a note telling them where they can use it." Bleh.
