Gift Cards Difficult to Locate in Latest Version

[IP15.5]

After upgrading to the latest version it appears as though the option to purchase gift cards was removed from the Commerce sidebar. I understand that we can add this as a menu item, however I think it would be ideal if we could add this back to the Store view somehow, and perhaps as a product itself. Customers could then easily locate the gift card page to purchase gift cards or even become aware of their existence. As things are now they are a bit hidden.
