this way you greatly simplify the form they initialy see and still have the option for people who send gifts to others

having an adress book to choose from is a nice addition but the main focus should be on simplicity and getting users through the checkout as painlessly as possible and their money in your account

users can browse your nice new store till the cows come home but if they dont make it through the checkout your wasting your time and theirs
I couldn't agree more. That's why everything should be optional.
