Also, nice looking car. :)
- Physical Gifting - As cool as digital gifting is, there isn't a replacement for physically handing somebody something eye to eye when it comes to gifts. Even a verbal, "Oh, I gave you Skyrim on Steam and here's a Hallmark Card" isn't a replacement for a good ol' fashioned gift opening experience.
I suggest that for a small fee above and beyond the game price (say 5% or whatever) I could elect to have a postcard like item printed out/mailed with the game information on it. Double sided and color, like a 2 dimensional box art.
I would gladly pay a little extra just for the look of surprise when I gift a Steam purchase, and they have something physical to identify with the gift.
- Ability to buy a Steam specific GiftCards - Very minor, but I do like to gift Xbox/PSN cards from time to time and this is right in that vein.
- Timed Gift Unlocks - If I purchase a game and gift it to someone, it would be cool if I could define a time when it would show up and/or notify the receiver. Christmas and Birthday gifts purchased in advance would especially benefit from this.
I could see a huge chunk (if not all) of my game oriented gift giving done through Steam (rather than Amazon) if these usability points were added before next years shopping season.

I should just follow my heart and pick one up anyway. :)
Still no high res version on Facebook. No posts since the Saab Prototype have been large size.
