If you don't recognise the picture above, we'll fill you in. This photograph of seven-year-old Maggie from Dorset was tweeted by her mother, along with the following message:
"My superhero loving 7yo daughter not impressed when she spotted this sign in @Tesco today @LetToysBeToys"
Tesco apparently didn't realise that one's appreciation for superhero-themed clocks isn't necessarily dictated by one's gender. The offending sign has now been removed, but let's face it - the 'Fun gifts for boys' banner is merely the tip of a much larger iceberg.
Now, we're a gadget website, and a lot of our products are prone to being described as "boys' toys". We do our best, however, to stay away from this sort of thing - you don't need a Y chromosome to enjoy flying a
quadcopter or building your very own
Tetris Light. Besides, it's hardly in our best interest to nudge half of our potential customers out of the picture!
With that in mind, here are 5 great gift ideas for the girls in your life:
This awesome quadcopter does just about everything - it flies, it shoots water, it fires missiles, and it even performs 360-degree flips!
Some women own smartphones, we're told, and so this pen - which doubles as a smartphone charge and triples as a touchscreen stylus - could well come in handy.
This rad little speaker is designed for use with smartphones, laptops, and the like. Plug in your audio device, adjust the bass/treble knobs to your liking, and hit the heavy metal!
We love these DIY-themed bar tools - it's just a shame that they come with a Yorkie-style 'No Girls Allowed' sticker on the case.
Still, we're the ones selling the product, and we know that women like the odd drink as much as men do. If you want to buy these things, go right ahead - we're not going to check your damn gender.
Oh, incidentally, we also have a wide range of
superhero stuff.
