mommy related business idea..

I was thinking of putting together a website geared towards those mommies that don't find out the sex of their baby- it would pretty much be all gender neutral stuff- but not just green/yellow...
what do you think?
stupid?

I think it's a good idea...lots of competition.
You could go in many directions.....
boutique style with all the cutesy stuff
retro/modern with the onesies
bibs with sayings
etc.
maybe baskets for the new mommy and baby as gifts
diaper cakes

Good Idea but I would think you would need some unique spin to it.

i think it's a great idea! i found out the sex so i don't know what exactly is out there for mom's who don't know what they're having, but i know stores have such limited stuff.

You would need to be VERY different from other baby sites out there and spend $$ on advertising and getting traffic to the site. Google ads cost thousands per month.
I didn't find out the sex but I also waited to purchase clothing and her bedding until she was born. I got only a few gender-neutral items at my shower.
I would not do just yellow and green though...that is pretty common. I would pull together pretty beige items, reds, multi-colored items. Do you want to go high-end or mid-price?

I was thinking high-end nursery decorations & coming home outfits not every day green/yellow geared specificaly to those not finding out sex.. I didn't really see much online but I didn't necessarily do all my research yet- just throwing it out there.

Great idea! I had such a hard time finding things that were not gender specific but that were still cute and fun. All the gender neutral stuff was so lame and generic!

That's a great idea!

How about a shopping cart that changes to girl items or boy items once you find out the sex, then automatically ships out? There are SO many things that I didn't either register for or buy because I said "I'll get that when I find out the sexes" - and it was either a few weeks later or I never got around to getting those items.
