indiegala question: what is the difference between a gift bundle and a main bundle?

Nothing at all in terms of content of the bundle itself. But next week, during Happy Hour, you'll want to select GIFT to get additional freebie bundles.

thanks, any idea how one would go about getting 1 bundle themselves and 1 for a friend? both complete I mean

A non-gift bundle will be tied to an IndieGala profile/user id, which can have multiple bundles if you bought them with the same profile. A gift bundle is a separate URL, so they don't have access to your profile. If you care about Gala Points, only the profile where it was purchased gets them.

nah, do not care about points, just wondering since when I read about the gifts it said that only the one below the average does not get the extras so I was wondering how to specify both as above the average. that is all
