If you gift the whole bundle, like, if you buy it "as a gift", they will receive the coming games as well since the bundle will then be added to their HB account / library / whatever and the keys will then just appear on that same page for them. At least that's how I think it works.

Makes sense. That's how I figured it worked.
They told me they linked the gifted bundle to their account and the keys appear on their "keys" page, and the bundle shows up in their purchases with the price point $0.00. But they asked about the "more games" and were wondering if I received it or they did, and I wasn't sure.
But yeah, you'd think they'd receive the keys and not me.

Since they added it to their account, I really don't see why you would receive the keys instead of them. I'm pretty sure the extra games will just appear on that exact page once they are added to the bundle :)

Okay cool. Cause if I received it, I'd just end up making a giveaway.. haha

The bonus/unlock games will just appear on the bundle page that was purchased assuming you paid the appropriate amount. If the gift recipient 'claims' the page (there is a link on the upper right of purchased bundles for this) and permanently associates it with their account then the games will also show in their Humble library (in addition to the bundle page), but that is entirely optional. The only real difference between a normal purchase and a gift one is that gift purchases do not show the payment amount and cannot have it increased later.

Well they claimed the gift page they said, so I guess they will receive the unlock games. Cause I paid $12, and the average is less than that.
Cool, thanks for the information.

No prob. They will definitely get them, since you not only beat the average, you got tier 3. Just wanted to add that redeeming a gift and having the link for it sent to your e-mail is not the same thing as claiming the page for the bundle on your Humble account. You have to click on the link on the bundle's page to permanently associate it with your Humble account, although it is possible that if you are already signed in when you redeem the gift link that it may do it automatically -- not sure.

They did, apparently. They said the keys are available in their account now, and they no longer need the original link. And that under "purchases" it shows the bundle, but with $0.00 instead of the price I paid. So I'm assuming this means it is linked to their account as a gift now.

So let's say I buy someone the latest Humble Bundle as a gift and pay $12.. Then I give the entire bundle as a gift to someone and they link the bundle to their humblebundle account.
If more games are added to the bundle and I paid more than the requirement, do those extra games get added to the bundle I gifted them? Or does this only work for self-purchases? Cause it does say "more games coming soon" so it'd be nice if they got to receive those games as well.
