You may want to also consider just gifting an award to them...it will save the point transfer fees.

Per the HHonors website:
"HHonors points can be transferred to any other HHonors member in increments of 10,000 points, at a cost of $25.00 per 10,000 points. This rate applies to all points transferred up to 200,000. After 200,000 points have been transferred in one calendar year, all additional transfers are free of charge!"
