You can email the keys or give them through steam chat.

no,you cannot add the keys from other sites as a item. You either deliver those keys via email or you add those ppl and give it to them via chat.

Exactly that :)

I suggest you give them the keys via the Steam chat though, but emailing them is ok.

if you give them via chat (which i usually do,too) check if they already have the game and after you gave the key to them check if they activate it and make a screenshot of you sending the key. Just in case....

from my experience not only from SteamGifts people always check their emails and they confirm the keys, never sent one via chat and never had a problem :)

I currently have two people who activated the keys I emailed to them and haven't confirmed on steam gifts yet. Granted they are both foreign (as per their profiles) and are starting to bug me.

Well if youre gonna give the game to someone you can't use the key :) You can give it in steam chat if you don't want to email the winner, so long as you give them the key it doesn't matter how you do it

You should get a key for the game when you buy it. So you would be giving that away

you can give away on this site keys or gifts.

So if u buy somewhere else and get a key you want to giveaway, you can send the winner just the key on chat or email.^^

EDIT
Answer took so long in meantime there were plenty answers from other users. xD

You can get games from anywhere, as long as they are STEAM KEYS/GIFTS.
