It's possible. Just make sure that the giveaways are for the Steam versions of the game (s).

As has been discussed a lot, it is against the humble bundle terms to split the bundle.
Also, using the Origin keys yourself and giving away the Steam keys is questionable (piracy).
All that said, steamgifts can't see where you got the game so they're not gonna stop you, and humble bundle aren't enforcing the rule. But now at least you know :)

But he already has the games. What to do with them? Make another account and activate them?
P.S. I know you said they aren't enforcing rule, but just sayin' ^^

Uhm...i would give away origin keys too since i didn't use them but this is steamgifts...not steamandorigingifts...It would be such a waste to leave those games there when some people wants them and maybe can't afford it...I don't want to trade those keys because that would be sad...feasting on charity...But giving them to other people can be considered charity too so...isn't like i'm doing something bad :/ at least i think so ._.

Could you copy and paste the part of their terms that says "you shall not split the bundle"? I couldn't find it.

The product of an Origin key IS NOT the same product as the one from a Steam key, then it's not piracy by any means; The bundle itself gives you two products from the same game.
Since steamgifts terms states that you can only give way Steam Keys and Products, you may not create an Origin giveway - not by the normal means, anyway (the website). What people are doing is simply writing their Origins keys at the forum (First Come, First Served).

Support said it.

Hello!

Our Steam keys do not generate giftable copies on Steam or through Humble Bundle. Please consider your bundle a “unit” and not to share copies of the games or Steam keys from it.

Also here was a topic about it.

I think you can, I asked their support if I can spit one between me and my friend and they were ok with it.

There's people that missed the bundle or just can't afford a 1$ too (yes,i do know some...Trust me...I would give them a new pc too...Being with a pentium IV and a geforce 6600 GT in 2013....)

it isn't intended as a steam key && an origin key it is bundled as one copy of the game and two ways you can use it 'you have this game. you can use it on steam or origin(..or both i guess if you're some kind of crazy person, as long as its only you using it)' just like when they did drm free it was 'you have this game available for you to use drm free or through steam if you prefer' not 'feel free to download drm free and then sell the steam key' so not using it is no more of a waste than not using the mac version of a steam game from the same key.(not quotes, just a way to seperate the statement form the rest of my sentence) (besides, if it were a waste it'd be a waste of some small fraction of a dollar, whoever you'd split it with can't afford a dollar for their own pack? if you view them as seperate products(they aren't)then the key would be a waste of 8 cents)

no it doesn't/ it gives you one game and two ways to download it

it specifically says it IS NOT two products and is sold with the understanding that the entire bundle is for your personal use only anyway
