Been looking for a birthday card for my DD. Sea of pink in shops naturally. DD is not a fan of pink.
So I googled "cards for daughter that are not pink" - yup, up came a see of images of pink cards.
Now I know I can change the way I google e.g. cards for daughters that are blue. Up came some blue cards, but yup, still couldn't get rid of the pink on a lot of them - pink pictures, writing etc.
As I say, this is meant to be lighthearted, but it does make quite a serious point.
I think card manufacturers are missing a trick here - how about a shelf in stores entitled "Cards for daughters - not pink". I think they would do quite a trade....
