I'll second this...
"Farmer looking for work, offering 5 runs for any of the items on my wishlist"
If you don't want to see the above, you don't want this change - it turns everyone into a RMT.

I still feel as though it's a good suggestion. Even if you do get those sorts out there, I would be more than willing to throw some PP at a player if I needed what they had to offer.|

Once the game goes public I expect we'll have to deal with that sort of thing anyway

As much as I dislike RMT between players myself, I'll be intruiged to see if the industry standard on this changes in the next year or two. With the big release coming up here soon that will actively have a system in place for players to buy and sell items for real money.

I think a better way to handle this is to simply allow players to purchase PP for each other... that way anyone can buy items off of their OWN wishlists, as well as making Christmas time pretty easy for some parents.

That would be nice, but I enjoy the whole "random acts of kindness" aspect of being able to grant an item on a player's wishlist, rather than going via billing and all that hoo haw

FWIW, there was acknowledgement of this request a couple months ago:

I still hope they find a way to make it work, of course. No harm poking them every so often. |

Paragon Points cards (like the Game or Time Cards) would be a great way to do this without putting it firmly in-game.
You buy the card at your local store, PM the serial code to a friend, and there you go!

This but you can even do what World of Warcraft does and it'll email the person you want to grab the item or points and they claim it. It's actually a really nice idea and we need this, especially with X-mas coming soon. I love how WoW does this and I do not see why this cannot be implicated here. |

More importantly I wanted to gift points to people for winning contests at my Halloween party in game. I thought it was a rad idea but to be crushed since they don't have it yet! >.<

Shoot for miracles - the VALVe email campaign
Well, generally a wish list, where online store related items are concerned, allows others to, should they so desire, grant you items on that wish list.
So therein lies my simple yet, I believe, effective suggestion.
I would love for a player's paragon store wish list to be viewable by other players, so that, if they so desire, they could gift a player the desired item (for example, if my girlfriend put an item on her wishlist but didn't currently have the points for it, I could grant it to her)
