You can transfer points from your account to any other ihg rewards member. Only problem is the transfer fee is us$5/1k, almost the same as 100% Bonus rate or P+C us$7/1k purchase rate so would be rather stupid to buy to then in your words "gift" from own account
There seems to be a link to gift where you enter your details as purchaser, and enter separate deyails for a recipient . Could be worthwhile as
a)Member can only purchase 120K . year
BUT
b)Member can receive further 120K as gift per year
