Disable gifting using steam
But what if you want to gift the game/bundle that is composed by more than one key? You can't list the keys on SG because it'll be treat as different copies.

Keys usually have less annoying restrictions, but at least they can bypass price difference limit.

Once we do that, we no longer follows the spirit of gifting.
Nations with bigger user base will benefits the most while the smaller user base will be left in the dark. -_-
Not to mention, if you can pass the 10% price difference. Even the countries next to me have a price difference higher than 10%.

Disabling gifting doesn't sound too good to me. For following reasons:

15% (14.78% is okay if SteamDB is accurate) or higher is where it prevents gifting to more expensive regions.. for now (any Euro users I can't gift to because most prices are 17% higher than the US store price, but there might be 1 out of 100 games where the price isn't 17% higher)

Yeah... All gifts were row. Then gifts became region locked. Now it's country locked (some will say that it's not, but for me that lives in Brazil, gifts can only be sent to brazilians).
I'm counting the days until gifts become city locked...
SG needs to put a option to select specific countries (like Writhe said), or steamgifts will be only about bundled games (and free now).

Regarding the title, may I suggest the feature/option disabled until further steam gifting policy changes.
