The Gift Registry built into Magento Enterprise Edition set up is extremely simple for both the store owner and the shopper.

The gift registry can be created when a user logs in, and chooses “Gift Registry” from the account navigation. The user can then send invitations to their friends and family members, so their guests can review the list and purchase the product, which can be sent directly to the registry’s owner. Registry owners can browse all of your products, and add products to their gift registry via either the cart or Wishlist.
