Facebook launches Facebook Gifts for users to buy friends real gifts through mobile and desktop

Facebook today officially launches Facebook Gifts in a limited test for U.S. users to buy products for their friends through the social network’s desktop or mobile versions.

Gifts seems to follow the format used by Karma, a mobile gift-giving service that Facebook acquired in May. As with Karma, users can send their friends gifts without knowing their address. After a user chooses a gift, the recipient is notified and he or she can indicate where the gift should be sent.
