I give you this:
Face palm emoji.
Seriously. I'm only about high heels and looking at myself in the mirror? Please.

I agree. That chipboard set, should have been called "fancy night out". It is not reflective of the average "her" woman. I no longer wear really high heels, I don't constantly look in the mirror. I don't wear perfume. I never paint my fingernails. For me, a set of "her" chipboard die cuts, would need to include >> a jar of moisturizer, pajamas, a bottle of hair conditioner, a book, a box or bag of chocolates, a work tote bag, a lunch container or lunch tote, eye glasses, and a notepad.   |

I don't think that is what it means.
A lot of people are into fashion and make up. That can work for even males who use make up or make clothes.
Also it can be used for Prom or getting ready for weddings or a party.
Little girl playing dress up or even a little boy getting into mom's stuff.

I will say the title isn't cool though.

Terrible naming! I would call it something like glam or fashion. Nothing wrong with liking those things if someone does - I have friends who would love the vintage mirror and dress form shapes - but the name makes it unappealing. I have never been that kind of girl.

It can totally work for all those things, but that makes the product name “her” even more inaccurate and non-inclusive. ETA just saw your response to that effect! Agreed. |

My daughter had the most…. Rugged? lol wedding ever… But, we did do hair and makeup before, and the whole getting ready part was super special. I could see using these for that morning.
Also, I just visited my friends house, and she took me to have a glass of wine in her “she” space. It’s the girliest place I’ve ever been! Pink and white velour couches, with jewel accents, big, white, fluffy throw rugs, really neat art work, and a make up table and chair fit for a glamorous 50’s Hollywood star. Wayyyyyy over the top ridiculous. But that’s who she is. She’s gorgeous and puts more effort into her appearance than anyone I know. And her two littles aren’t allowed in that room.
I’m a “10 minutes standing in front of the bathroom mirror” and ready kind of person. But I could totally use a good deal of this chipboard for these two scenarios.

The name is garbage for sure, I agree with everyone who said it should have been glam or fancy dress or something else not gender specific. |

It surprised me that the name for this product includes Mintay ‘chippies’. Chippies is an old American derogatory slang word for prostitutes and/or loose women. Then I saw they use the term for their chipboard die cuts collections.
I wonder if they’ll come up with a Him collection—hammers, fishing poles, footballs, etc.

They get football and camping. They get their specific interests. They're all on ACOT. I'm actually considering the camping one but they're 2mm thick and that's a lot for an album. I did only read the size of the alpha so I may be wrong. |

 blemon. And all the perfume atomizers! Funny. Yes, they should've named it "Dress-up".

IMHO product names are not indiciative of "supplies clearly NOT designed by women." After all, Mintay Papers is a female-owned company based in Poland! Despite its meanings elsewhere, “Chippies" appears simply to be the company's cutesy (nick)name for its chipboard sheets (see all Mintay Chippies HERE). I agree with both pantsonfire that “Her” featuring heels/cosmetics/etc does not imply women are one-dimensional & joblackford that "Glam" would have been a more accurate & inclusive product name for this sheet of chipboard pieces. I wonder if they’ll come up with a Him collection—hammers, fishing poles, footballs, etc. No. The men get "chippies" for each of their hobbies and they aren't titled "him." They get football and camping. They get their specific interests. They're all on ACOT. I'm actually considering the camping one but they're 2mm thick and that's a lot for an album. I did only read the size of the alpha so I may be wrong. Note football & camping are not hobbies exclusive to men or even for all men (i.e. some children & adults of all genders are also interested in sports, outdoor activities, etc.). Mintay Chippies - Sport includes sporting equipment used by all genders, while Mintay Chippies - Outdoor offers camping/hiking gear & both female & male silhouettes. Per Mintay Chippies product descriptions, the assorted chipboard pieces are 1.55mm thick. |

Since Mintay is from Poland, I can see that American (and other countries) values or standards might be very different. None of it bothers me. Those are representative of her (and many other words as well).
My her would include a bunch of furry creatures, a lens, the ocean landscape, a woodland landscape and a margarita. All of the icons on this set of chipboard scream not her to me. It's all good.
