My grandson is 7 years old and I’m beginning to think about what to buy him for Christmas. I’d received a copy of the Boots catalogue and decided to have a look through it.
I was shocked to see that the toys for older children were divided into “Girls’ Toys” and “Boys’ Toys”. And, you guessed it, in the boys’ section there were exciting things like Meccano Assorted Build and Play Vehicles or a Weird Science Slime Laboratory. Girls? Oh they have Glitter Babes Giant Pamper Set or, but no, I can’t bring myself to write about the rest.
I’m throwing the catalogue away. I will not be buying from Boots.
