More on the gender-typing of innocent little infants...

Here I am, searching Google to see if I can find an image of that spaceship onesie I want to show you guys (no luck yet). And I come across the following site: Tell me this isn't just the cutest stacky toy you've ever seen!

I wander slightly, and notice that they have gifts for baby girls, and gifts for baby boys... no gifts for plain old fashioned "babies". This can't end well...

Boys get an astronaut set, or a dragon set, or one of three different sports sets, in addition to the fairly bland-and-banal layettes and whatnot that you see everywhere.
A lot of stuff chosen because they're pink. No stacking toys. No dragons to stretch their little minds. Nope. There's a princess gift....

You tell me. Which overpriced gifts do *you* prefer?

P. S.: What's really annoying is that after years of seeking space clothes and toys for our own little ones before they got big, now that you've found this for us, we have nobody to buy the spacesuit and stuffed rocket for! Our own kids are fourteen and twelve now, and we don't currently know anybody with babies. Tanj!

Well, you know me and my family (I'd buy the rocket separately from that site, though... search the company that makes it up online), but, alas (or luckily, depending on how you view things), Ana already has two different stacker toys. It's unlikely she needs a third. :( or maybe :)
