So you just received news that your close friend/neighbor/co-worker/family member is having twins. You were cordially invited to the baby shower that is coming up in a few weeks but have no idea what to get since a) the genders have not been identified and b) you’ve never shopped for twin babies. Well, here are a few adorable gift ideas that will leave everyone feeling happy and satisfied.
Baby Gift Ideas for Twins
Customized package: If it is known that the twins are a girl and a boy, take each parent’s hobbies and create a mini package. For instance, if the father-to-be is into hunting – for the boy, use a toy helmet as a basket and fill it with a deer doll, a matching bib, and anything hunting related. Then do the same with the girl’s package to match the mother’s hobbies.
Clothes: Instead of giving typical clothes like a pair of onesies, change it up by customizing a pair of different color baby shirts. Using a permanent marker, have the shirts signed with messages from you and your friends attending the event and put them inside a frame. If the baby names are unknown, use “older twin” and “younger twin” to distinguish the pair and use gender-neutral colors like purple, red, yellow and orange.
Accessories: Baby bracelets with the twin’s name or initial engraved on each are perfect 1-year-old birthday gifts.
Keepsakes: Land of Nod’s Make an Impression Frame is a great gift option. A shadow box frame leaves room for a photo of the baby and his/her hand or footprint. If you choose this option, remember to buy two sets, one for each twin. One set includes non-toxic materials and tools to easily and safely capture the baby’s hand or footprint, acting as a precious keepsake.
Putting a Personal Touch to the Twin Baby Gift Set
There are many ways to put a personal touch to a baby gift set. If you decide to give hats, socks or bibs as gifts, you can customize the items by ironing on a patch of the twin’s initials or having them embroidered. If baby names are unknown, the items can still be personalized with the words: “I’m older” and “I’m younger,” which adds a fun element to the gift.
