Hi luvmysibes,
Welcome! 🙂
This is possible with PayPal Merchant Gift Certificates. This is a special type of PayPal button that allows your customers to purchase a Gift Certificate that can be used with your online store and PayPal buttons/checkout. When they purchase the Gift Certificate, the funds are held in a reserve in your PayPal account until the certificate is redeemed. If the certificate is not redeemed, the funds will release into your PayPal account after 18 months.
You can learn all about this program in our Merchant Gift Certificates Guide.
I hope this helps! 😄

Sorry for my confusion.
You're right, the PayPal Gift Certificate feature wouldn't allow you to purchase them yourself and send them to your customers.
To achieve this functionality, you would need to code some logic into your website to accept your own coupon/redemption code. You could then have your site dynamically set the Discount Variables to add a discount to the purchase.
Another option would be to use a 3rd party shopping cart solution that has discounts and coupon codes built in.
If you need developer assistance you can view our Developer Directory to find PayPal Certified Developers.
We maintain a list of PayPal supported shopping carts here: PayPal Partner Directory
Thank you,
