How to buy and email an iTunes Gift Card

How do I buy and email an iTunes Gift Card? You can do it from the web or the App Store!

An iTunes gift card is redeemable in the App store, iTunes store, and the iBooks store, meaning they make perfect gifts for all your music-loving, game-playing, and book-reading friends and family. While you can go to a retailer and pick up a physical gift card, it's much more convenient to hop on the web and purchase a virtual card and email it to whomever you want! So stay in those pajamas and get your shopping done on the couch this year.

Important notice: You will only be able to purchase an iTunes Gift Card for the country where your Apple ID is registered. For example, if you have a Canadian Apple ID the gift cards you send via email will only work in the Canadian App Store.
