I did not managed gifts so far that is why i have a questions:
1) I have one Frozen Synapse Prime in my Library. One I sent as a key as giveaway. Now i discovered that in my steam inventory i have Frozen Synapse Prime. I dont remember how could I get it. Did I understand good that I can sent this item from my inventory as steamGift? Is it a risk that it is already used??
2) I bought something on other page (f.e. DailyIndieGame). And have option to send game as GIFT. Can I move it to my inventory somehow? What about if I will sent this game to someone and this person did not receive it. Can I still redem it as a key and sent it this way?

Sorry for such Newbe Question, but i fear I will put something as next giveaway and then something will be wrong:).

1.- If it's in your inventory, it's a gift, so yes, you can create a giveaway for it.
2.- For those sites you get keys, so no, you can't have it on your inventory, as keys redeem the game automatically to your library. When you choose "send as gift" you will be sending a link so they can get the key directly.

ad 2) And if someone will not receve this gift (f.e. technical problems with email) can I still redeem it or see a key and sent it to this person as a key?

As long as he gets the game, sure I see no problem with it.

Usually the link will be used when clicked, so there is no guarantee you can get it back if it went that far.
It's always safest to just get the key yourself and then send the key instead of using gift links. Gift links just make everything more complicated.

1) Check that the gift has not been sent already. When you click on it, if you've sent it previously, it will say so.
The gift will not leave your inventory unless the recipient claims it (or unless it was sent directly on Steam, in which case I believe it leaves inventory immediately).
2) No game you buy outside Steam can be in your inventory as they will be given to you as keys.

  1. gdy aktywowałeś Frozen Synapse Prime na swoim koncie, dostałeś w prezencie 2 kopię, też tak miałem. Z tego co pamiętam ta kopia ma chyba blokadę na region, w którym została aktywowana, więc dla pewności wybierz region Polska przy tworzeniu giveawaya

You got Frozen Synapse Prime because it was a two-pack deal at one time or another, so when you bought one copy, you got a free gift copy to give to a friend. If it's in your inventory, it's 100% unused and you can send it to whoever you like (even as a giveaway here).

Keys will NOT give you gift copies --if you activate keys on your account, it will add the game to your library (unless you already own the game).
