As I sit here looking online for stuff for B's birthday party I am getting more & more upset that everything out there seems to be geared towards girls!! I know there are a ton of little girls out there.........crap I used to be one.........but there are also cute, adorable little boys that are being born everyday & it just seems like they are getting shafted left & right!!
You walk into a store & the girls section is huge & then you go over to the boys section & it is like 3-4 rows & that is it! Don't people realize that little boys have mother's & we all used to be little girls & loves to have all that selection so why would you take our selection away just because we had a son & not a daughter???
If anyone has any good sites that have BOY birthday stuff on them please help.............

That really irritates me too! I found graphics and made everything for Cam's birthday myself since I couldn't find anything I liked. Boys definitely get the short end of the stick on everything. Girls stuff is always cuter and there is always more.
ReplyDeleteI feel the exact same way...in fact I did a post about the limited availablity for little boys clothes. It seriously drives me nuts! I get that little girls things are cute; BUT so are little boys things. I wish I could just as much for Henry as I can for my niece at any given moment.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someday things will change...
Don't hate, ladies! Maybe someday you will have a baby girl and get to buy her all that cutsie goodness! And not having tons of cute boy stuff is a blessing in disguise...I spend waaaaay too much money on clothes and accessories for my little girl. And she has more dresses than she could ever wear during the time they fit her. I always say that it will be so nice to have a boy some day because their wardrobe is so much simpler!
ReplyDeletecheck out http://www.saraspartyperfect.com/ they have cute ideas for all sorts of parties. You can search by type as well, good luck!
ReplyDeleteThere is cute boy stuff, but it is hard to find and few & far between findings!
ReplyDeleteI always say it was good I had a boy first to spend all the $$ on the essentials and then have all the $$ to spend on clothes when (if) we ever have a little girl.
But then I feel guilty that our poor Sam is getting the shaft as the first kid while Mom & Dad have no money while Dad is in grad school and his younger sibling(s) will get more "fun" stuff...
Girl, I agree 100% about the clothing store choices - the girl's section is always WAY bigger! For the boys' birthday, I'm literally MAKING half of my decorations b/c I couldn't find anything I liked. Like, I'm sitting in my living room at night cutting out fish shapes on colored paper. It's ridiculous!!
ReplyDeleteYou hit the nail on the head with this post! I've had good luck finding birthday stuff online and was able to find a super cute puppy outfit at Gymboree a few months ago when they had their puppy line out.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing I hate is that when you finally do find boy stuff it all looks so babyish to me-I like the little man look a lot better :)
I couldn't agree with you more. This past weekend I went to toys r us with my mom for a gift for a little girl we know. While there I looked at the boys clothes and there were hardly any at all. Tons of girls, hardly any boys.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to plan Cooper's b-day before I know it and it makes me sad that there isn't much out there for boys. :(
Let me know if you stumble on anything that's worth other boy mama's checking out.
