Bump!
You won't be flagged as trader for 3 gifts (unless you really are, and there is thousand gifts before that).
I gifted 33 games during the summer sales this year, and I didn't get any problem.
I went through my gifts history and I gifted about 118 games/dlc, none was for trading purpose, half of the gifts for my family for birthdays, christmas etc every year, and the other half for steamgifts.

Well, yes and no.
I agree with you to the full, unless there's a history of many games given, Steam will most likely not give any problems over only three games. But one thing they do look at is to whom you give. I guess your gifts have been to people that have been or will be a long time in your friend list or at least have been associated with your account before by playing together, messaging, etc.
But when gifts starts to fly to random accounts with which you've had no prior association with, and/or in different countries, Steams algorithms do notice.
Again, I'm quite sure the limits are set way higher than three games but it is prudent to be careful as we don't exactly know how these things work. Steam might tighten up restrictions so a small number of random account gifting may punish a user in the future, a user might have a entirely different matter and when contacting support could be blamed for being a trader and will therefore not receive help, etc.
That, and I think this train solution is such a beautiful thing to see ;-)

Also depends if you're using Steam wallet or credit card.
For the 33 gifts I did 2 weeks ago, it was for giveaway here, so I didn't know the winners before, I added them and send them the gifts right after they accepted my friend request. I bought everything with Steam wallet only.
I think the thing to look is if the main activity of an account is trading or not, if you're advertising for trade and trade with other traders already suspicious.
There will always be false positive, like always with an automated system, but I think 99% of the time the algorithm can do the difference between someone who randomly buy gift to other and someone who actively trade for profit. (and maybe who's making the most money for Steam 😜)

They never gifted anything before these 2 games? Do you know if they used credit card or wallet, if it was wallet did they get the money by buying/selling in the community market? (like a stock market)
How many games do they have, and how many bought from the steam store? (not from resellers but steam only)
How many trade offer they made? and how many trade with nothing in return? (asking for items and giving nothing, or giving tiems and asking for nothing)
What is the level of their account and when did they create it?
If you have more infos that would be really cool to know, because there must be something that trigger the ban.
I'm worried about it happening to me in the future, so if we could somewhat guess what to do to avoid it (or to not do), that would be awesome.

Ok so my account is almost the same, weird :/
I mean if the account was below lvl 10 with 5 games and created less than 1 year ago, that could have explain everything, but now I really don't know, and steam denied the appeal, so they didn't acknowledge it was a mistake, that's even weirder.
The last thing I can think of is if the trade happened with people from differents region lock/price.
I'm from Europe and 99% of the time games are the most expensive once you converted € in other currencies, so it would be almost impossible to make profit with games from the EU store.
