I purchased some titles for my friends on Steam.

I attempt to use "Activate a product on Steam" but it blocks activation as a gift since I already own the game. Is there an issue with my setup?

You can't claim it yourself; you must give it as a gift to them before they can redeem it.

Sure, just share the keys with your contacts. Remember, you won't turn them on by yourself.

Did you select "Buy for yourself" or "Buy as a gift" during checkout? Choosing purchase for yourself makes the game available in your Steam library and prevents gifting.

You purchase a two-pack and receive one free.

I purchased the keys elsewhere. I'm attempting to exchange them for a gift item.

You're not allowed to do that. Please forward the keys to the intended recipient.
