"Tomboy" kits even though I wouldn't call my daughter one (and she wouldn't describe herself that way, either).

Most teenage kits are super gender-specific so it's either a pink (which she hates) kit with lots of references to makeup, hair, being a princess, etc. (which she hates) OR a "boy" kit with all of the wordart talking about being a boy/prince/heartbreaker and with elements like gears, tennis shoes, guitars, etc.

I know there are tomboy kits in the store but they tend to talk about playing "like a boy" and being outside/dirty which is not my daughter's jam, either. There are also non-gendered teen kits in the store but most are more themed ---- like driving or getting a job --- and I just want to scrap her everyday life.

I (mostly) solve the issue by using "boy" kits and leaving out the wordart & elements that don't apply to her but that often means there are not many elements left in the kit. I use the tomboy kits the same way.
