Gifting Items to other users

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could gift ROBLOX hats to users? There probably will have to be some limitations, but it’d be nice for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions

The main limitation being people scamming others on alt account then gifting it to a series of 50 accounts until it gets to their main account.

Easy fix – limiteds can’t be donated

Why not just donate them ROBUX?

By gifting, do you mean purchasing an item and it goes straight into their inventory, or giving them one of the items you already own?

Personally, I would prefer being able to gift models.

Roblox wouldn’t allow people to gift robux, as it’d mean roblox dosn’t get there 30% tax

They can still do it with normal hats then |:

The majority of players use the favorites system to come back to experiences they like and to save items they will purchase for later. With that being said, the favorites system lacks features.

Users should be allowed to GIFT each other favorited items.

  • Limited items CANNOT be gifted!
  • UGC creators CANNOT gift items they created!

When you gift someone, it takes away the robux from your account and the item transfers over to the other player’s inventory! The player will receive a message saying: “_____ has gifted you _____!”.

If there is a concern with random people gifting others, then gifting items should only be allowed if the players are friends with each other.

I dont think this would be a good idea, mainly because of scamming.

not only scammers, there will be more people doing mistakes or money glitch.
anyway we can already do this, but it does not works like the way how in games trading.

They do and they already support it. It’s called gift cards. Send the code and you officially sent Robux to a friend.

This thread is 7 years old, what is this bump

Gifting should never be added
Its a pandora box of cross trading and scamming

Scamming is something that exists on almost every online platform with purchaseable items.
In fact, scamming happens on Roblox now (such as in specific experiences: Adopt Me, etc.) and (on the platform itself: Limited trading, etc.).
There is nothing that can be done to stop it, but there are ways to prevent it. Such as notices, reminders, and moderation action.

As long as the feature is fool-proof then that should not be an issue.

Some people earn robux through other ways, so it is more efficient to just use that robux to gift an item rather than buy a whole gift card with real money.
