Hello SG! I have a question to ask regarding giveaways. As you all know gifts bought from steam are restricted and SG do not allow restricted gifts.
My question is, does games that are bought and sent through emails restricted?

Here's a giveaway~

Yes, sending via email doesn't change the fact that a game might be affected with a region-lock.

As I've heard, some games from GMG are locked as well. Depends on where you are.

Only a handful, and they are most commonly locked to North America.

Wait do you mean region restriction or just plain ol` 30 day trading restriction after buying. If you mean the region ones, you can't change the fact that they are locked to a certain region whether you trade it or send it via gift/email. If you mean the 30 day restriction, yes you can safely send them as gifts/via email, you just can't trade then through the trade window.

Was talking about region restriction since i am from SE asia. This region restriction thing is really a bad move on valve part. :/

I think it's not really Valves fault, it's a tax thing. They are just following the laws forced upon them by some countries.

Region locking has nothing to do with taxes.
