Anyone know what happens if you gift an iOS app to an account which already has the app?

Seems pointless if there is already a paid copy on it, the gift is just a code to "buy it for free"...

The point is, I want to give an app to my nieces but I don't know if they already have it.

Why not just send them an iTunes gift card for the purchase price and let them get it if they want?

Their uncle (i.e., me) already kicks in $10/month towards their account. C'mon guys, have you forgotten how you felt when you were a kid and someone brought over a toy/puzzle/book as a surprise?

Can I be your nephew?

Heh. I'm constantly amused at how the little ones have a better handle on how to use the iPhone and iPad then their parents. The older one even organized the apps on her father's iPhone into folders for him.
