Call me a grammar pedant, but...

...when exactly did the perfectly good noun "gift" start being used as a verb? And could it please stop? I don't know if it's an Americanism that's started being used over here or what, but it doesn't seem to be used in any sense in which "give" wouldn't serve equally well...
