How to Choose Baby Gifts for Twins

Having twins doubles a family's need for baby gear, diapers, clothes and any miscellaneous items you would need for a singleton baby. If you are attending a baby shower for a mother expecting twins or visiting a family with new twins at home, you might be in a conundrum about what to get the twins that would make a nice gift and be useful as well. Choosing a baby gift for twins is something that requires creativity and practicality.

Instructions

  1. Newborn Twins

    • 1

      Purchase an item that is useful for both babies that doesn't require purchasing a second set. Wipe warmers, a diaper pail, baby monitor, bottle sanitizer, breast pump or bottles, a twin nursing pillow and a diaper bag are all interchangeable items that are useful to any new parent regardless of the number of babies.

    • 2

      Select items that are similar but not the same so the parents can differentiate easily which item belongs to each twin. Purchase a similar toy in two different colors or an outfit of the same style but different patterns, for example.

    • 3

      Buy a baby timer system that helps tired parents keep track of the time elapsed since the last feeding, diaper change or nap.

    • 4

      Embroider the twins' initials or names on items such as bath towels, blankets, one-pieces or burp cloths.

    • 5

      Purchase several boxes of diapers in a variety of sizes for the parents to have on hand for the double diaper duty. If the new parents plan to cloth diaper, ask which diapers they plan on using and purchase a few to add to their stash.

    • 6

      Offer to watch the twins while Mom or Dad runs an errand or takes a nap, or offer a day of housecleaning to ease some of the burden on the exhausted parents.

    Gifts for Older Twin Babies

    • 7

      Grab a set of stroller links for the parents of twins. Double strollers are cumbersome and often expensive, but stroller links quickly link two umbrella strollers together for an efficient way to transport growing twins.

    • 8

      Stock the twins' library with a large selection of books. Since twins share a special bond that might not be often portrayed in the classic children̵7;s book, select a variety of books about twins.

    • 9

      Pick up a set of high chairs so the twins can stay safe while trying out new foods. To help the parents save space, buying a set of booster seats that secure onto a regular kitchen chair allows the babies to enjoy meals at the table with the rest of the family.
