Blizzard is going to make it easier to gift your friends things like Hearthstone packs

Blizzard announced new features coming to its Battle.net game launcher. Notably, you’ll be able to use a new Shop tab to easily buy and gift your friends in-game items like packs of Hearthstone cards.

The Shop tab is available in Battle.net’s beta version, which anyone can download. It joins the also-in-beta Social tab, which makes it possible to create groups that help you organize your friends. But the gifting feature is a new addition, and it can make it easier to give your buddies some nice presents (and just in time for the holiday season).
