Guild Wars 2

I have a slightly different question. It probably has been asked before but it seems my googlekittenis weak. (I did look).

The situation have is like this.

I wish to buy gems to get myself and my husband a set of the roses. These are listed for 400 gems and are account bound. I also was hoping to get some of the red dye packs for us both so we can theme our armors to match like we did for the christmas season.

The problem here is that I have enough money on my prepaid mastercard to buy the 800 gems for 10 dollars. This would be enough to get 2 sets of roses. But the gems and the items are not transferable (account bound).

Is there a way to purchase gem shop items for another account? I see one possible method, which is to exchange gems for gold and try sending the gold to him for him to exchange back to gems but I believe, if I remember correctly, there is a limit to how much money that can be mailed. And the exchange rate for gold to gems is significantly lower than gems to gold. So we would lose out on a good amount of gems and fall well below the 400 needed to get a set of roses for my husband’s character.

The other option I am working on will take me a long time, which is grinding up enough things to make gold to exchange for gems.

It already sucks that we got separated from our server because he didn’t make it back in time to transfer back home when it was still free but with Guesting we can still go on the world map and have fun together. I just want to find a way to get our fun stuff for the event before it is actually over.
