photoleia: I want to give a GOG game to a family member over Christmas, but I don't want to send it to his e-mail ... I want to just print off the sheet and hand it to him. Is the e-mail a gift is given to have any bearing on who can redeem the code? Of example. Can I put my e-mail as the place for GOG to send the code, and then have my family member (who has a different e-mail address) be the one to redeem the code?
Like two others before me told you, it's possible; in fact, GOG even enourages it.
(From the website help, "Gift certificates" section)
"5. I want to gift a game to my friend in person, not via a GOG.com e-mail...
The easiest way would be to gift that game to yourself, so you can write down the gift certificate code and give it to any friend. Since you're sending the gift to yourself, you'll find the gift code in the e-mail from GOG.com (although it will be also available in the “Gifted games” section in “My account”) and it can be claimed by anyone you give it to. Just don't forget to tell your friend about the link to www.gog.com/gift!"
