I like pink and I have two girls but I usually avoid buying the pink option for bigger toys...like the play kitchen and shopping cart. We receive enough pink gifts so I want to mix it up!
-
We did occasionally when there was only my DD but now we try to get gender neutral since we also have DS. But DD loves pink with a passion so there is still plenty of it! Can't completely deny her..
-
Only if it's the only option. I do like pink, but I don't like buying pink toys. Maybe so Charlie and Olive can share, and maybe because I want to raise her to be a tomboy!
-
At first I was really liking pink & different shades of pink but my baby girl turns out to really like her giraffe toys so we are choosing more yellow and orange colors for her.
-
The only pinks I buy are clothes. I swore never to put DD in pinks but she just looks so darn cute in pink.
-
Sometimes! I try to have a balance.
-
DD is still young, but I plan to buy her toys in a rainbow of colors. When I was a child in the early 80s, toys came in all colors--not *just* pink for girls. It's maddening! Even my BARBIE house was orange. I don't think there's anything wrong with pink, but it's the saturation that kills me.
-
Since I have two boys, it's not very tempting to buy pink. I did find a maclaren double stroller for only $150 at TJ Maxx, but it was hot pink.
-
Even if my boys had ended up being girls, I'm not a fan of pink, so I would avoid it.
-
@lemondrop: No?
-
@autumnlove: LOL! Nope, I think it clashes too much with our ginger-ish hair... I think that's why I dislike pink so much, it looks turrrible with my coloring
-
I try to avoid it if I can. I think about resell value a lot too when buying bigger toys, so I try to go with what's most appealing to a larger crowd.
-
Hmm.... I guess not really. Most of her "big" toys have been gender neutral. We might be buying her a pink kitchen though. Lol. Oh well. I have no qualms about it either way.
-
Nope. I have a pink stroller but only because it was the only choice. Other than that, everything is gender neutral. I really am not a fan of all the pink. I like primary colors!
-
I did when I first started out buying things. Now I don't... especially the bigger items which we'll keep for #2. Clothes I try and get a good mix, but for girls there is just so much pink stuff that I end up getting more than I should.
-
I try to avoid it. I feel like we have enough pink coming in our future when M is old enough to have an opinion on these things!
-
All of our gear is gender neutral so I don't mind buying some pink stuff. My MIL wants to buy LO a Radio Flyer trike for Christmas and I asked for it in pink if possible.
-
Nope we make sure to get the neutral item!
-
I LOVE the pink options, but I'm so cheap. I always think "but what if we have a boy next? I'll have to buy it again!" and that idea scares me. She has a few pink things that we wouldn't pass down, but all of her big items are GN. I was dyyyying to get her the pink rocking horse for Christmas, but I resisted.
-
No I hate the pink options! They bother me! Why can't girls want the regular toys too? I hate how gendered this stuff can be!
-
@photojane: I love our pink doll stroller!
-
I generally buy neutral but some things we go pink. Not a huge deal to me. I don't think the color pink will define her
-
@autumnlove: YES. And for the record, I love that ridiculous pink bus you posted.
-
Usually not because I feel like a lot of people don't like it and we want multiple children and will give our big toys hopefully to family or friends when we're done so I feel like the non-pink option is more likely to be well received. I don't have anything against pink myself but just thinking down the line it's better for us to go non-pink for big stuff.
-
Never. I don't believe in pink toys. Clothing, sure, we love pink as a color. But I don't buy gendered toys, period.
