As long as it's your money and a gift with no expectation of compensation or reward, you're done. Buy, wrap (or not), and give. DO NOT mention that you are not the final owner in the gun store or you *may* get turned away as a potential straw purchase.

If you told her what to buy AND later paid her for it (only it), that would surely be a straw purchase in ATF's eyes.

If they ask, tell them the gun was a gift and the money was for sex. That's an entirely different department (the IRS) and they won't bother you anymore.
