Yes, you can gift directly on Steam.
But keep the gifting restrictions in mind. You can not gift someone a gift on Steam, if he/she is from a region with prices that are more than 10% higher than your region.

If winner agreed to delete the giveaway, you can submit a ticket and it will be deleted. If he/she agreed.
But considering your region, quite a few countries will probably be in the 10% price difference zone, so it's best to only do giveaways for your region. this can be set in the settings when creating.

FAQ
Guidelines
I know you've already read this, but you can usually find these in the help section in the upper right hand corner.
Contributor Value and Levels
What is contributor value?What are levels, and how can I increase my level?
What are "No Value", "Reduced Value", and "Full Value" giveaways? How do they affect my overall contributor value?
I think you should check these items.

Hello everyone, I am very sorry to hijack someone else's thread, but I am very new to this site and in the same position as the OP.
I am just trying to do everything correctly. Can you help me understand the steps that I need to follow?
So, let's say I buy a mistery egg bundle from Fanatical. This is a key, if I understand. Do I need to open it to know what's inside?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks. I have the key now, and I should not activate it, just put it in the giveaway, correct?
I also have another question. The purchase from Fanatical was country locked, I can only restrict the giveaway to that country or can I use the region? (To specify, the country was Italy but I guess I can use the whole Euro area, correct?).

Region Restricted
Select the countries where your gift or key can be activated to limit your giveaway to the appropriate users. If you choose one of the preset regions, please double-check the region accurately represents your giveaway.

If Yes is selected, regional restrictions are available.
https://steamdb.info/
The title will also give some information on whether the key for that game is regionally restricted.
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, click key and paste the key there
i bought some keys on Fanatical myself, never saw any region lock there, it's probably even a worldwide key, but if you want to be sure, restrict it to Europe
never heard of country restricted keys, some use it for gifting via Steam, but that's not the case with keys from Fanatical
If you want to be sure of region locks for a specific game you can google the game and Steam DB

I also just did my first giveaway. How long do people have to claim the games? I want to do some more giveaways but I can't start anymore until they are claimed.

Guidelines : "Winners will need to correctly mark their gift as received or not received within one week of the gift being marked as sent by the giveaway creator. It is also necessary to keep this feedback up-to-date if the status of the gift changes." (emphasis added)

Hello folks, wanna do my first time giveaway. If i understood it right, that you can select gift type of giveaway instead of key and then just add the winner on Steam and buy game as a gift for him, right? If not what`s the cheapest way to reach level 1 on SG?
