All new games purchased as a gift and placed in the purchaser's inventory will be untradable for 30 days. The gift may still be gifted at any time. The only change is to trading.

We've made this change to make trading gifts a better experience for those receiving the gifts. We're hoping this lowers the number of people who trade for a game only to have the game revoked later due to issues with the purchaser's payment method.

    Sounds like it's making a better experience for Valve, not the person getting the gift if he wants it within a month.

    You can still purchase gifts for friends with no waiting period. If you place the gift in your inventory give away later or to trade, that is when the 30 day waiting period kicks in.
