So when I was getting some games from a humble bundle I clicked "Redeem on Steam" in order to get the game I wanted for myself.....and because it gave me a key I decided to do the same for the other two games and created giveaways for them. (It seemed the most straightforward option at the time)

I'll still be able to give them away right? Or did I mess it up?

If you didn't activate the keys you can still give them away, yes.

If Humble has given you the key, and you have not activated it, then you can just provide that key to your winner.

Its fine, "Redeem on Steam" simply means you're revealing the key, it doesn't mean it you be attached to your account. You can use that key to either activate on Steam or make a giveaway.

But if you want to avoid confusion you can create a gift link, its easier to keep track in the future on what you activated for yourself and what you gave away.

Oh good thanks.

If I had clicked "Gift to a friend" would it still have given me a key or would it have given me a giftable version of the game on Steam?

It would give you a "gift link", a link that you would give to the winner of the giveaway, and when you looked into your account it would look something like "Claimed by xxxxx@xxx.com, (winner's e-mail)" instead of the key.

With that link, the winner would click on a button "Redeem on Steam" and it would show him a key, just like you do when you reveal it for yourself.

It would still be a key, but only the people given the link would see it.

I don't think so because concerning Humble you can giveaway those games with Humble links or with Humble keys. :O
