OK, I'm probably not going to be able to explain what I mean in a coherent manner, but here goes:

Let's say I wanted to buy a Humble Bundle for myself and claim all the games, but also buy the same bundle again and do separate giveaways for all the games included in the bundle. How would that work?

I am assuming that if I buy the bundle and redeem all the games, then buy the bundle again, I won't have the games listed twice on my Humble Bundle account (one redeemed, one giftable). However, if I buy the bundle again and click on "This bundle is a gift; send me a gift code", I will receive a gift link for the entire bundle, meaning I won't be able to do separate giveaways for all the games. What would happen if I claimed this gift link myself after I had already redeemed all the games in the bundle?

I don't see the reason for you posting this comment. I described the problem, which was that I was unsure what would happen if I purchased the same bundle twice. If you had an answer to this, why not just tell me that instead of telling me that you don't see a problem? How is that helpful?

if you redeem the bundle for yourself a second time all the games go to your inventory. When these giveaways end you have the winner add you on steam and you send the game to them that way directly from your inventory

I don't think it works like that. Steam doesn't give you extra copies of games you've activated. In any case, I don't want to redeem the games twice, I was asking about buying a bundle twice so I could claim the games AND give the same games away.

personally i have bought beep three times. The first went to me. The other two went into my inventory in which i can could gift to a friend in my friend list or use in trading. of course you can still give away the entire bundle as a whole, but this is a valid option i have used before. Although the game was single copies and not in a group bundle

Giving away game bought from a Humble Bundle ehrmm.. Bundle is against their ToS. I mean a lot of people do it and 'get away with it' and most people don't care/know, but HB has specifically said we're not allowed to give away their bundled giveaways on Steamgifts.

"We do not support the exchanging of Steam keys or the trading of games, which includes using Steamgifts. Additionally, we in no way support the reselling of games purchased through Humble Bundle as this is a violation of our Terms of Service."

It doesn't say that giveaways are against the ToS, it says that reselling the games is against the ToS. What they're saying is that they can't (or rather, refuse to) offer support in situations like this if another "distributor" (in this case, SteamGifts) was involved.

You can send the game as a gift link and there is no problem with their ToS. What is against their ToS is giving directly the keys.

Could you point out where in the ToS it says that? I've now read the Terms of Service a few times, but I can't find anything that specifically prohibits giving your games away on SteamGifts.

Buy bundles as gifts simple as that

You'll have individual bundle pages - for example I also bought H Jumbo Bundle 2 BTA for myself, and bought 2 copies of tier 1 for giveaways, so I had three Humble Jumbo Bundle 2 entries in my Humble Library. Works without any problem :)
