My wife used to ask "just tell me what you want" — and I hated the question. Say it plainly, and you get the thing but lose the surprise. So we built the middle. You hint to one specific person, not a list the family scrolls. Paste a link and it fills itself in — or hint at an evening out, not an object. Then the part that matters: once they start shopping, they get a private lane you can't see. Bought, planned, done — none of it reaches you. You said it. You still don't know what's coming.
