I am on the Mog Station looking around but I can't seem to find an option for this... Is there any whatsoever way to purchase an optional item and instead send it to a friend's account rather than your own?

I wanted to gift a friend with a cash shop minion, but it's only allowing me to send it to my own characters. I was hoping for a code I could give to my friend...!

It's a real shame if this isn't possible. Cash Shop seems like a good thing to use on Christmas for friends to the other side of the world.
