What are gems used for in Steam?
Gems on Steam are essentially a form of currency that you can use to craft booster packs for games. Basically, if you've got a bunch of trading cards for a game and you're just a few shy of a full set, gems let you roll the dice and try for the cards you're missing. You can also use gems to bid on items during Steam's holiday auctions. Plus, crafting badges with gems gives your Steam profile that extra sparkle.

Gems? Oh, those shiny little things? Yeah, use them to get booster packs without spending real money. It's like turning your digital trash into treasure.
I once spent all my gems on booster packs for my favorite game. Felt like Christmas morning, except I was using virtual currency to unwrap digital goodies. Totally worth it for the profile bling.
Totally overrated. Just sell them on the market for quick cash. Who has time for crafting?
