Sometimes the duplicates you get when buying a pack that contains games you already own can't be gifted, which always feels a bit mean.

I'd love to give Machinarium a go if that's okay? Steam ID is fearisthemindkiller

Very kind! I don't have anything to offer in my Steam account but I'll keep you folk in mind if I get spares in the future.

If you click 'My Profile' from the main top menu, then click 'My Inventory', it should list anythig 'giftable' there.

Bundles don't give you duplicates of games you already have…normally. To stock up on dupes from sales and such, never say "purchase for myself". Always select it as a gift, which will give you the option to buy the game, then put it into your inventory. You can then add the games you want to your library and give away the ones you already have.

Of course, that's me going under the wild assumption that it puts each individual game into your inventory, as opposed to the bundle as a singular object.

Also, all of the games so far mentioned, save for Defence Grid, Serious Sam, The Ship and Super Monday Night Combat (why am I even including this? It's F2P) are OSX-compatible.

Sorry if there's a bit of a delay, I have to send friend request and then you need to confirm and then I need to go back in and send gift.
