Maybe, but it is a lot safer for the giver and also covers them if there is a problem with the key (or the winner). It is also a helluva lot easier to check if the key is still good, since Humble and IG gift links both show an indication when somebody redeemed them.

as veebles mention above, it is against their ToS because all the key brought from humble bundle should be use for personal use only
although they allowed gifting the products you brought (i guess as long as you don't sold them again especially for higher price) and that's why they have the "gift" option
but imo it should not be a problem to use the gift option or not when you are giving away the key because, well, you are giving away the key~

Humble Bundle will not get mad at you if you reveal keys instead of revealing the gift link. how could they?
I always reveal my keys and put them in a seperate file (for trading away or gifting), even when I sometimes buy the same bundle more than once. there was never an issue and there never will be.

I've been regularly gifting revealed keys instead of gift links (I have this inexplicable fear that I screw something up when giving away gift links) and so far, nothing bad has happened. No complaints from my winners, either :)

When I want to gift a HumbleBundle key, it is much easier to use "Reveal your steam key" and just put that key into SteamGifts.
Is there a problem, if I do that? Will HumbleBundle get mad at me, if I don't use the "gift" button to gift?
Any experiences? Mad mails from HumbleBundle? Guesses?
