    Hi Adam7777!

     

    I believe the best way to do this will involve changing the country for your Apple ID so that it matches with the gift recipient, and then purchasing the gift for them. The instructions for changing the country for your Apple ID can be found here:

    Change your iTunes Store country

    Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.

    Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

    Which is taken from this article:

     

    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311

     

    From there, you will want to follow the instructions in this article to send the gift to the person you wish to receive it:

    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

    Sorry, but it is not possible to give an iTunes gift to someone in another country. Gifts you buy through your own iTunes Store account or gift cards issued in your country are valid only in your country.


    Regards.

    Sorry, Braden, but you are wrong. It is prohibited by the terms of the iTunes Store for someone to use any iTunes Store from outside of its country, and even if those terms did not exist, Adam would need to have a credit card issued in that other country and with a billing address there to make a purchase.
