They seem to have a problem getting a second copy, hopefully the devs will see this and see if they can help.

If you purchase Don't Starve Together for yourself on Steam, one copy of the game will automatically be activated on your Steam account (as it would normally). You will also find a giftable copy of Don't Starve Together in your Steam Inventory that you can send to a friend.

On the other hand, if you purchase Don't Starve Together, choose "as a gift" and send the gift to a friend, the person who receives the gift will automatically get Don't Starve Together activated on their Steam account and game library. That same person will also find a giftable copy of Don't Starve Together in their Steam Inventory that they can send to a friend. (This specifically is what is happening with the users linked above.)

If there is an issue with the purchase, or a gift is missing from the inventory, the best next step is to contact Steam Support as they would be able to check the Steam account/purchase and correct if there are any issues.
