I have an older girl and younger boy, and find it much easier to shop for boy things. I tend to prefer neutral palates and boy style clothes, but now that my daughter is older (and she's petite) the boy clothes are just way too huge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437817 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 15:33:54 +0000 chopsuey 2437817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy shopping for both of them, but it's definitely easier shopping for my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437812 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 15:27:55 +0000 BandDmommy 2437812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on age. I love little boy clothes but I struggle finding cute clothes for my 3 year old. For DD, she is easy to buy for because she doesn't really destroy clothes like the 3 year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437804 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 15:21:55 +0000 bushelandapeck 2437804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to buy all new for DS but was given a ton of nice hand me downs for DD so ice probably spent more on DS (though I do my fair share of shopping for DD 😉) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437785 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 15:13:23 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2437785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tiger: true!! I bought my son a 2T from old navy girls section and it was so much tighter than the 2t boy stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437763 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:43:17 +0000 BSB 2437763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: Yeah, I'm the opposite. I think all the pink and purple is kinda boring for my daughter. </p> <p>@Mrs. Tiger: Ugh! Don't tell me this. I put all the 6M clothes together and pull it out at the same time when I need to go up in size. DD is slightly smaller than DS, so I'll just have to wait a bit before pulling the next size for DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437760 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:40:56 +0000 Mamaof2 2437760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me boys are easier - grab some shorts, tops, and sneakers and you are done!</p> <p>For girls - you need dresses, rompers, shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, sneakers, mary janes, sandals, etc etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437759 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:10 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2437759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bit off topic but shopping for my sister's boy/girl twins has taught me how different sizing is when you get to toddlers - boys t shirts are cut generously, girls are tight and stretchy, even at 2T-5T. Ridiculous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437758 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:38:45 +0000 pinkcupcake 2437758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son (eek! So crazy to say that out loud) isn't here yet but I can already tell it's gonna be way easier shopping for my daughter. Girl clothes are so just damn cute and I can't resist buying her dresses ... Boys clothes seem more blah in comparison. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437753 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:34:21 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2437753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like DD (1 year) has way more clothes than DS (almost 3 years). I find it a lot easier to shop for DD and it seems as though she gets more clothes as presents while DS gets more toys as presents during birthdays and holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437746 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:21:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2437746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its hard to say. DD its easier because she likes cute dresses and appreciates new clothes. Also a lot of her clothes are handme downs so I really appreciate when I get to pick something out for her. DS needs more but I dont often find cute stuff for boys that I'm willing to spend that much money on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437690 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 13:42:07 +0000 lamariniere 2437690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, I think they have about the same amount of clothes. I actually find it harder to shop for girls. There are a ton of cute things, but not a ton of cute practical things that aren't going to get ruined at daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437684 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 13:37:46 +0000 HLK208 2437684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have about the same right now but DS usually has less during the summer. He likes loose v-necks and polos with shorts whereas DDs have a big variety of rompers, dresses, and shorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2437678 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 13:34:59 +0000 MamaChin 2437678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an equal opportunity spender when it comes to them. But I will say I spend more on my boy because he's growing slower so he'll wear a t-shirt for a full year, sometimes 1.5 years. So I don't mind buying better quality due to frequent washings. My daughter has a lot of trendy "disposable" clothing, at almost 2 she's still pretty messy and growing fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-one-of-each-did-you-find-it-easier-to-shop-for-one-gender#post-2436232 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 13:30:00 +0000 BSB 2436232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just realized my DS has a bit more clothes than DD. I guess I love clothes with animal print and so I grabbed clothes with dogs and animals that were usually meant for boys. While girl clothing was pink and purples with polka dots that were kinda boring. </p> <p>When I shop, I try to shop for both but I realized in the end I don't make it even. </p>
