Due to regional price differences, the gift you are trying to send cannot be sent to the recipient's region.

This is the dumbest thing :(

let me have the chance to pay extra to send it to friends or something, its not like they can resell the game

i just wanted to play with my broke friends :'(

I think its a very difficult thing to send gifts global while there are different prices in the Lands.
An option is maybe that steam get a Steam-value or steam-tokens for beeing active, create workshop stuff and co.

I'm sorry for you and your friend but I dont think its possible but i wont broke your hope at least.
So wait for others maybe they would know more. :)

Paying a price not set in your store region opens up legal issues like you would not believe.

If the price difference between the 2 regions is more than 10% after currency conversion, you can not gift it. The original regional restrictions still apply, if the game has them.

If that is the case, send one of these using external funds only...

If they are friends, send them the money via paypal.

I do often wish for an "I don't give a ♥♥♥♥, just WORK" button. It's yet to be implemented, anywhere.

Like for games with no price that look awesome, but you can't have for love or money.

I mean you can thank places like G2A that necessitated this kind of measure because they 'care about developers' so much they facilitate essentially VPN fraud but don't care because they get tons of money from shady sub-vendors that sell said games and trick users into logging into VPN websties to change their regions

We can't have nice things because garbage companies like g2A gave devs and users a giant middle finger

I don't know what company you're trying to describe.

I agree. I know there's a rationale, but it was still annoying one Christmas to find out I couldn't get a DLC for a friend which was on the friend's wishlist. But since then, I've decided to send market items (trading cards, emoticons, and profile backgrounds) to friends who I deem worthy of presents.... And no, I'm not taking any friend requests at this time!

You're better of not knowing as what they do is even worse than simply pirating the game.
