I would very much like the ability to just gift crowns, instead of having to jump through hoops and buy gift certificates for people I want to give them to.
Some times I want to provide a few crowns to someone I know on the game but I sure don't want to give out my email address to them and I can't ask them for theirs, anyway.
And I don't want to buy the object that I'm gifting crowns for. Half the time I just want to give an online friend a few crowns to be used later when they feel like it.
