store as gift option

iCeD MeTaL · 07-14-2012, 10:07 PM

hello steam community,

Say I want to take advantage of a flash deal and gift the game to a friend, but if he isn't online and i dont know his email, would the "store as gift" option be best? I could buy it for the discounted price now, and then gift it later?

Are there any restrictions about gifting games from your inventory I should know about? Thanks.

Purchase as gift, store the gift in my inventory to send later and wait until he comes online. No restrictions for you.

You pay now, get a steamgift into your inventory and you can trade/gift it when hes online.
