Gender Toys

I am amazed that there are objects that are gender discriminated for babies. I work at a grocery store and I walked around and saw toys similar to those in class that were made for girls or made for boys. A toy for a boy was power tool toys and there was a picture of him pretending to work on something. There was a makeup kit and a girl looking all happy putting on her makeup. I also saw cards that discriminate the gender of babies. There was a card congratulating someone for having a baby boy and the picture of the boy was all dirty playing with his food and not caring. There was another card congratulating someone for having a baby girl and the girl was all clean and dressed nice and she looked proud to look cute. There should not be things that make a certain characteristic for a little kids. They should have toys for if a girl wants to use fake power tools of if a boy wants to play with makeup or something similar to that.
