Well it is the season for giving so I guess it's fitting for Steam to get an overhaul of its gift management interface. Valve has released an update today that overhauls the way we can manage our giving and receiving of gifts.

In your Steam inventory you’ll find a new "Pending Gifts" tab where you can view gifts offered to you and gifts you’ve offered to your friends. You can accept a gift to add to your game library or store in your inventory for later on both the web and in the Steam client.


There's nothing worse than being offered a gift and not even knowing about it so to ensure you don’t miss a gift, a new item in your inventory, or a friend invite, there’s now a notification flag at the top of the Steam client that lets you know you have things to act on and quick links to get you there. Fantastic!
