Birthday cards - don't take too seriously

[whoputthecatout]

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....

It really isn't difficult.

I don't buy gendered cards or age cards or specific person cards for any one. No special effort is required. Where do you all live that has such a dearth of shops?

Agreeing with lass here, 'daughter' is sadly a gendered term so if you don't know what she/he:they likes then maybe be pick 6-year old as a search term ageist!. Or just maybe a tenner on a google play card because that's something everyone can love.

To be fair birthday cards for men are even worse. Boring and weird. Golf, fishing and beer.

And farts. But what man doesn't fart - hey!? Hilarious!!
