According to Ybarra, this feature should roll out around 10 p.m. PT, and for those wondering, DLC will be “giftable” as well.
This will be live around 1PM PT today. And yes, DLC is giftable as well. https://t.co/IRHtvvZxkk

Another online store that just implemented gifting, though this is available to everyone, is Blizzard’s Battle.net. There’s even a freebie gift from Blizz for checking it out.
