suggestions

Ideas for consideration

Suggestions are ideas or proposals offered for consideration.

The word implies tentative offerings rather than demands—a suggestion can be accepted or ignored: I'm open to suggestions.

A suggestion of mint means a hint or trace.

Something suggestive hints at more than it states directly, often with sexual undertones.
