    In the iTunes store, find the items you wish to give. Click the downward triangle next to the price - it has a 'Gift this xxx' option.

     

    You can gift many types of media to another iTunes account.

    You cannot give your own purchases (items already purchased in your account) to another user unless you use home sharing or a family plan.

    Yes, if your iTunes Store account has a payment method other than gift card credit and the recipient lives in your country. Click here and follow the instructions.

    Yes.  Find the song, pull down the menu and choose "Gift This Song," as below.

    Do this from iTunes on a computer.  From an iPad, this option is not there, only the option to gift a whole album.
