Boy? Girl? Either?

Is this unisex?
Does it look cheap?
Would it be a nice baby gift?

Thanks for answering my etsy rant I'll answer yours.

I think that is ADORABLE - it's blue so it could be a boy gift, but I think it's a nice color blue for a girl too.  Either way.

CUTE!  Who is this for!?

Beautiful.  Looks boyish, unless you got something else to go with it, like pink and turquoise stripped pants or something.  But the work on it is really nice--it doesn't look cheap at all.

I realize too it says the buttons are on the boys side. I definitely could see it for a girl though. For a friend

I'm debating between a sweet sweater, a hat, or a funky onesie. Then I want to get something sweet for mom.

Ugh, I can't even venture into Etsy babyland.  I get out of control!  I just love all the little outfits and onsies and I buy a million things (for friends--4 of whom had babies this year and one is due the day after my b-day). 

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Aw you're so nice.

I don't know much about babies so don't put too much stock in my opinion if you don't want - but yeah, that sweater and hat is absolutely darling.

I love babies and baby stuff. Love, love, love.

Even though it says the boy's side, I think the color is girly.  But the anchors on the buttom sway it the other way.  It's a little confusing, actually.  But soooo adorable.  If the mom wouldn't care that it was a boy's sweater, I would get it. I know a bunch of moms who would just dress it with girly clothes (like over a little dress or with girly colored pants or something. It's too cute.

npasquale16

Oh, no.  Thanks, Roxy, I went into the seller's other stuff and look what I found.

Cute for my BFF's baby boy due in November?

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Jeez you guys and all this baby stuff... I better not start looking at them!

But yes NP - that is a really sweet little sweater!

nda_roxybabe

Yes, I saw that! I love the little sailor. Sooo sweet.

npasquale16

Okay, I will keep an eye on this seller for baby shower presents.  These little sweaters are killing me, they're so cute. 

Thanks for real this time, Roxy .  Now I have some gift options!

My sister got one of those sweaters for her baby and she wears it all the time.  She loves it.

I have a two year old son and I loved little sweaters like that.  Those are the kind of things that you can't just pick up at Target so they are even more special!

Thus the etsy obsession :)

Super cute, and an absolutely amazing price - those things aren't exactly a 5-minute job!

nda_roxybabe

Blue- from the same seller even?

Blueyed228

Not sure.  Hers is purple, green and white.  She wears it all the time.  She also got a wicked cute hat.  Knitted and it has a big flower on it.  I love it.

thesuninherhead

I think it's boy although personally I'd be happy to have my baby girl wear it (if I had a baby girl, obviously! haha).

ETSY RULES!!

I think it's pretty unisex, it's not frilly or anything.  I'd be thrilled to receive it and I'd put it on a boy or a girl

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

I love it!

But then, I'm not big into gendered clothing. My daughter wouldn't have to wear all frilly clothes, you know?

I Want Cake

It's really sweet for either.  I love little matching caps for sweaters.  Hopefully in about a year, I'll be shopping for baby stuff, too.  I already have an eye on an AB/CD onesie.
