Gifting App Issues.

Hey people. I am using an apple id without the credit card. Now i want to buy a few apps but i dont have a credit card. So i am planning to ask my friend with credit card to gift the apps using "gift this app" option in app store. I just want to know if this works in india. How do i get the apps gifted by my friend. Urgent help required.
Also suggest me some 10-15 very good apps that i can ask my friend to gift. Thank u.

 

Yea. Thats the best option in U.S. The sad part is we don get itunes gift card here in india. I just want to know if this can be done. Thanx.
