is there a way to gift an item from Mac App Store as do in iTunes/iOS App Store?

Yes, but only if your friend lives in the same country as you.
There is no gifting facility in the Mac App Store. The closest that you could come to gifting an app is to send your friend an electronic iTunes Gift Certificate close to the amount needed for them to buy the app. And as stated, yes, you must both reside in the same nation.

Can I gift an item in MacAppStore, say Boxy app for Mac to a friend?
