How Etsy tags actually work
Etsy gives every listing 13 tags of up to 20 characters each. The algorithm matches buyer searches against your title and these tags, so wasting a tag on a single generic word ("gift") throws away a match you could have won with a phrase ("gift for her"). Fill all 13, keep each one a real search phrase, and don't repeat words you already used in your title.
