What you are looking for is the Google Play gift cards
What happens when you buy a Google Play gift card
The recipient can be the person you want to make the gift to.
After you buy the gift card, a message is sent to the email you chose during your buy.
When the recipient of the email redeems the gift card, the gift card amount gets added to his/her Google Play balance.
What you can buy with your Google Play balance
That depends on your country.
ATTENTION:
To use a gift card or promotional code, the country of your Google Play Account must match the country where the gift card or promotional code is offered.
