See if you can spot the irony of this list!
1. A retro “treatball”
“A sensor on the machine releases a handful of treats”. That’s right ladies! A machine for us, in pink that gives us a treat. So if you have been a wonderful wife and fulfilling mother, your beloved may allow you a treat at the end of the day. It is “adorable” just like you! Did I mention that it is touch sensitive, so we don’t have to worry our little minds about how to work it. Thank goodness! And the name! It does sound a bit like something you might give a pet….a “treat ball”.

2. Hetty Hoover Desk Vacuum
It’s a hoover AND it is pink! My two favourite things combined. Now those naughty biscuits that I sneakily eat at my desk can be crumbly as they like! I can now simply whip out my hetty (and as a lesbian I don’t usually go in for hetty’s) and it can “guzzle away” my “dust and crumbs”. How utterly fabulous.

3. Glamour Puss Shower Cap
MEOW! I will be a right little “glamour puss” in this number. Did you know it “keeps your hair dry”?? Silly little me just thought it was so I could look pretty in the shower! So it is stylish and practical! And it comes in leopard print too! <squeeeee>
And the website is called “presentsformen”…how apt!

4. Blow Monkey Nail Dryer
Get out!!! This is just totally amazing. ”The funky monkey that blows your nails dry so you don’t have to”!! It is “indispensable”. He is so small you can take him anywhere. All these years I have been sitting down and waiting on my nails to dry, when the whole time I could have better used my time! This is perfect for “glamorous girls, party princesses and fabulous fashionistas”…what about luscious lesbians? I could have used the monkey for a quick blow job then havee a whip around the keyboard with hetty!

5. Notebook
We all need a notebook right? We can’t keep ALL of our information in our heads like menfolk. So, here is the ideal gift for you. On the cover of this notebook it says “I’m going to marry into money and this is my plan..” Genius or what? I don’t need a job after all! I just need to marry into money. I am getting my daughter one for Christmas too. And she wanted to be a vet! Silly girl.
The real, and sad irony from this post is that I never even did a search for sexist or silly gifts. I just searched for gifts for girls/women and this is the sort of thing on offer. Even sadder is that people are obviously buying this sexist tat! Come on ladies and gentlemen! This is ridiculous! The “let toys be toys” campaign is brilliant. Think we can do a similar one for grown ups? This is not just sexist towards women, but men too. If you do a similar search for men, you get similar sexist tat. We are all people, we all have different traits. Gender should not decide our shopping habits now should it?!
