The full checklist
Grouped by category, essentials first. Quantities and notes come from the relationship between this occasion and each item.
The quantity, the unit, the importance and the note all live on the NEEDS relationship — not on the flower and not on the occasion. That is the clearest single argument for modelling this as a graph.Occasion → NEEDS → Product → BELONGS_TO → Category
