I noticed there is a new bundle up. I only want two of the games in the bundle, but the price to buy the two games individually is the same as the price to buy all four. I thought I could gift the order to myself, redeem the games I want, and give away the codes to the others to someone else. I tried checking the gift FAQ, which seems to suggest this would be possible:
The gift recipient will be able to choose which items from the gift they want to add to their account.

...

I want to gift something to my friend in person, not via a GOG.com e-mail...
The easiest way would be to gift that item to yourself, so you can write down the gift certificate code and give it to any friend.
The problem is, it's not clear what happens to the games the gift recipient doesn't choose. Do they automatically get added to the purchaser's account? Are they lost forever? Can they be give to a different person, and if so, how? Thanks for your help in advance.

If you redeem only some games from the gift code the remaining games will simply stay in the very same code and you may give it away/trade as you wish. No problem with that, I've done it several times already myself. It does work :)

torvuseremita: snip
First of all, make sure to purchase the bundle as a gift order. Once you do that, all 4 games will be in your "Gifts" tab as a single code, accessible through your Library. From there, you can redeem the code and select any of the 4 games available. The games that are unredeemed will remain in the code and your code will marked as "partially redeemed", ready to be given to someone else.

Thank you both for the quick reply. I would mark both as solution if I could, but I chose the first post because... well, it was first. Many thanks.

Don't worry ;) I'm sure both Grargar and me just wanted to help you and we don't care much about our posts marked as a solution.
Ghorpm is lying.

He's a rep whore and would hit his grandma in the head with a shovel for that fifth star.

And this comment comes from a person who would have that fifth star already if he hadn't been downrepped so many times :P

I'm not proud. I'd hit your grandma in the head with a shovel for that star too. :P

Let my grandmas rest in peace, they were both pretty awesome so they deserve that. You can, however, hit me if you like, I would give you all stars I have ;)

Personally, I'd hit my grandmas in the head with a shovel if either of them rose up as a zombie. I don't like zombies. Although I might use a lead pipe or wooden bat instead. I would likely not be too bothered by which exact tool I'd use in that endeavour, more so by the situation itself.
