Quick question about gifting on Steam!

I want to gift a pre-order to a game to someone. I don't want to give it to them yet, but I want to pay now. So, I can't just gift it to their Steam account.

Can I choose "Email my gift" instead, use a dummy account, and give the recipient whatever code they emailed? Can that code be added to any Steam account then?

    As long as you don't claim the game on the dummy e-mail address you gifted it to, you can choose to re-gift it from the gift manage management window on the original account that bought it.
