Not that I can afford anything from here, but we get the catalog, and its fun to page through with the boys, identify things in the pictures, look at the other kids, etc. Usually.
But this time . . . The boys "rooms" are so dark, and cluttered and full of objects that aren't really toys (too big), more like decorator objects with "boy" themes. The girls rooms are sweet and whimsical, and well, cute.
Why is there a camouflage themed boys room? (aside from my own issues, don't women serve?)
Why is the airplane theme fighter jets?
Why are the boys rooms only in dark woods and primary colors?
Why are the ladybugs, butterflies, and cat themed rooms (all separate themes, mind you) only available in "girly" pastel (pink, lavender, yellow) colors? My boys LOVE ladybugs, butterflies and cats!!!
Why oh why are the cute, wooden painted kitchen appliances in pastel colors only?
Clearly, I didn't point all this out to the boys (they didn't seem to notice), I just quietly placed the catalog in our recycling as soon as they were done with it.
Yes, my boys love balls and games with balls, transportation, etc. but they love books, butterflies, babies and playing kitchen, etc. I'd love for them to see that boys and girls can enjoy a variety of things.

I agree, but it goes so beyond the Company Store. My biggest pet peeve is huggies pink Princess for girls and blue Cars pullups for boys. Actually, the entire Princess movement drives me crazy. I also notice it in ethnic stereotypes -- for instance, Fisher Price Little People. While it's good that there are a variety of ethnicities represented, why is Patrick the cop and Miguel the bus driver??

I thought I was the only one who winced as my DD asked me to read the names on the pillowcases and EVERY primary colored one was a boy. Umm, all her favorites were "boy" ones (only because they didn't have screaming purple).

I feel the same way about clothes -boys stuff has all kinds of sporty designs. I don't particularly like football, soccer, or baseball- why would I choose such designs for my sons? How about more plain or neutral patterns such as dots, stripes, stars?

"Generic" animals in addition to ducks would be nice too. And who ever decided dogs are for boys and cats are for girls?!

I agree. I'd love to see more gender neutral sets/themes. I don't want to do a girly/pastel room for my DD but it seems like that's all that's out there. Grrr. PBK is no better.

I agree. I'd love to see more gender neutral sets/themes. I don't want to do a girly/pastel room for my DD but it seems like that's all that's out there. Grrr. PBK is no better.

What difference does it make if the pullups are for boys vs. girls? My son's pullups are Dora-themed, and they work fine.

Yep, I agree. I have gotten to the point where I just buy what DS wants. For example, DH just bought him a purple plastic Dora's talking backpack. As for the swimmers diapers, DD is wearing the blue ones and I really didn't think twice about it.

ETA: Actually, DS probably would have loved the pink pull-ups (loves pink and yellow things). However, we just used generic pull-ups from Walgreens.

Yeah, that sucks. I know I'm guilty sometimes of saying "that's for boys" or "that's girlie". I regret it as soon as it comes out of my mouth. I'm working on thinking a little before I open up my trap.

I've been looking at stuff for baby girls and it's all toile. If you love toile please don't be offened because this is just my own personal opinion but...I think toile is super fugly. And if I see one more nursery done floor to ceiling in bubblegum pink and purple I'm gonna hurl.

When I was looking for Peyton's wooden kitchen I saw a bunch of ads with only girls playing with them. Rubbed me the wrong way.

I've never heard of Company Kids before. It sounds like I'm not missing much.

I feel the same way. It is so hard to find gifts for showers when you don't know the gender of the baby because the clothes are so geared toward one sex or the other.

I found clothes that work for boys or girls with animal designs at Sofia Bean sofiabean.com. I got a coupon code from them for 15% off, good through Aug. Baby15

I've noticed this, too. I think they've gotten even worse in the last year or two.

A bit OT, but what also bothers me is when we get two catalogs from the same company, one addressed to me and one to DH that have different front and back covers and inside layouts. Garnet Hill does this frequently. In my catalog the fluffy robes, comfy slippers, PJs, and sweaters are displayed prominently while DH gets to see some of the more revealing items. All the items are the same, but ordered differently throughout the catalog. I understand the marketing reasons behind this, but it it makes us laugh as we compare our catalogs. We're goofy, I know. :)

ITA also! When I was shopping for stuff before DD was born it seemed that all the fun crib sets were for boys! Drove me nuts. I would've loved to get some of the sheets with little airplanes and cars because they were so cute, but they all said (literally) "boy" on them! Aarrgh! I'm NOT a girlie girl fan, but all the girl stuff is just too.... GIRLIE!

ITA also! When I was shopping for stuff before DD was born it seemed that all the fun crib sets were for boys! Drove me nuts. I would've loved to get some of the sheets with little airplanes and cars because they were so cute, but they all said (literally) "boy" on them! Aarrgh! I'm NOT a girlie girl fan, but all the girl stuff is just too.... GIRLIE!
