That's why the last toy I bought for a girl was Bob the Builder. Her mom was surprised how much she and her sister really fought over that toy. Isn't a lot of the choice based on what you already have? Like I already have a Barbie, but I'd like another one. If you've never had a Tonka truck, then you're not really going to be drawn to it.
My friends who were girls were given Barbie and Ken dolls when we were kids, but we were always stealing the brother's GI Joe when he wasn't looking.
