I feel that I have done my duty as both aunt and sibling this morning! I went to Toys'R'Us and looked for Disney princess things for my 3-year-old neice, who also really really likes pink. I did not buy:
the Disney princess music set, with drum _and_ maracas
the Disney princess light-up tambourine with special princess sayings when you press the extra buttons
plastic swords, not even pink ones
anything with markers or pots of glitter or glue, especially pink
Instead, I found her a light-up tiara with matching jewelry (yes, the necklace also makes noises, but the batteries will die eventually) and some dress-up clothes, including a tulle skirt (in 3 shades of pink), "glass slippers" (clear plastic with pink heels), and hot pink "velvet" opera gloves. I think she'll enjoy them, and, equally important, her parents won't kill me,.
