\"\"The iTunes Store and App Store have mastered the art of the impulse purchase. “Only two bucks<\/a>? Sure, why not?” The good news is that you can send a song, album, movie or TV show to a friend just as easily.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with music. First, find the album or song you’d like to send. If you’re sending a song, you’ll see a drop-down arrow next to the track’s “Buy” button. Click it to reveal the menu at right, then select “Gift this song.” <\/p>\n

You’re brought to a new screen (in the gallery below). From there you only need to enter some information, click continue and you’re done! Your recipient will receive a nice email message with a download link. The process is the same for albums, individual TV shows, audiobooks (though the “Gift this audiobook” looks different) and movies. <\/p>\n

Note that you can’t gift entire TV seasons (bummer) or iPhone\/iPod touch apps. However, you can opt to share a link to an interesting app. With the app selected, click the same drop-down button to reveal the “Tell a Friend” option. The same is true of Podcasts – hit that “Tell a Friend” button to let everyone know what you’re listening to. With just a few clicks, you can share your favorite content with anyone you want!<\/p>\n
