Our oldest daughter, who is 19, was wrapped in a pink blanket as soon as she arrived in the world, it lessened the chance of that embarrassing situation occurring; "he's lovely". Of course she was beautiful, but at first it is often difficult to tell. As a toddler, she also had a pink bedroom, but her true love of the colour developed in her teenage years when she designed her bedroom around a pink theme, including throws, cushions, soft furnishings, photo frames, candles, a fridge; the list goes on.
Lastly, without giving too much away, I am in my thirties and even I sometimes wear pink clothes and jewellery, in fact my bedroom is decorated in pink and lilac. Not to discriminate or leave anyone out, my husband is also the proud owner of pink silk ties, cufflinks and a couple of shirts. As for my stepson I will work on him when he is older!
In one role or another I will always have to purchase pink gifts as I have reached an age where I am now a mother, daughter, aunt, wife and eventually I will become a grandmother too.
