What is a Steam Gift?
Steam calls tradable versions of games Steam gifts. These are extra copies of games that came due to a bonus, package deal, or promotional code. At one point, it was also possible to obtain Steam gifts by purchasing a game as a gift and then choosing to place it directly in your library instead of sending it to a friend.
