Many items in the game say they can be gifted, which isn't techniquely true since we have no gifting function for normal items. Add that to the list to change would be the suggestion I suppose unless of course you planned to add in some form of gifting capabilities to normal items at some point.

While on the topic, only the florist gump stuff is techniquely giftable, but they are currently listed as CANNOT. Which I would take assume is because they aren't Mailable.

1. I think you mean technically.

2. You're wrong. What do you mean, we have no gifting function? What would you call attaching an item to a pmail and sending it to someone then? Just because we're not sticking something in a box, doesn't make it not a gift.

This isn't KoL.

It's Sparta.

I call that Mailing. like those free sample I get in the mail.

No, this is Patrick!

But seriously, it makes sense that giftable=sendable in a message, but the fact that the Florist Gump items, which can be sent as gifts, are labelled as not giftable is somewhat misleading.

Think about it. Florist Gump is not a major part of the game, so labelling every single item in the game based on what Florist Gump does with them just wouldn't make any sense. The only reason anyone is finding this in any way confusing (or "misleading" if you like) is because you're used to KoL-style "gifts", where you go and buy a gift box and have the items delivered with a card, and therefore you're drawing a comparison between that and Florist Gump because of the similarity.

At the end of the day, if something is marked as "giftable" it means you can give it away to someone. Right now, that basically means you can mail it to them, but the same flag may also apply to any other method we introduce that allows a player to give an item away to another player, so changing it to "is mailable" (for example) would be less than ideal.

Please just get used to the different terminology.

The only reason this is a problem is because on the wiki people thought there would be a giftable category, and now it's kind of stuck there.

Nah, it is like he said cowboy, the fact that there is anything GIFTABLE in a shop makes us think of it like ToG's items which are labeled "Gift Item" in the descriptions and sold in a shop. Too similar that the brain instantly makes the connection. While attaching an item to a pmail is seen as mailing because it forces you to write something instead of just send something. So it has the instant branding in our minds as MAILING. Either way, if there is something else planned here, I have no issues with this.
