+# TODO
+
+Ideas and deferred work — not a task tracker for in-flight changes.
+
+- **Giftable finds, presented tastefully.** `giftable` is a facet, not a topic
+  (kept off the topics vocabulary by design). Once the `gifts` topic values
+  migrate to a `giftable` tag, revisit giving it a more prominent, tasteful
+  surface — e.g. a curated "gift ideas" view or a seasonal shelf — without
+  turning the site into a gift guide.
