I spent a good fifteen solid minutes in the card aisle last week looking for a gender neutral 7th birthday card for my niece. No stickers, glitter, Disney princesses, or even my beloved Hello Kitty. I'd already caved with a couple of pink, girl-oriented gifts. I finally found a card with a big striped "7" on the front that addressed its receiver as a special/great kid instead of a beautiful girl or awesome boy.
