Buying gifts for babies is always fun and exciting. From stuffed animals to rattles and playmats, toys are endless. However, purchasing a baby gift for twins can be difficult. Some items are more suitable for quality and others quantity.
You can never go wrong with a rattle. They’re usually inexpensive and babies will definitely use them. Foot rattles in particular are a great option, because they serve a dual purpose of keeping babies entertained and building motor skills. Personalized items are another classic. It’s a great way to add your personal touch and many are designed as twin-gift sets.
Baby clothes are extremely fashionable and always fun to shop for. Additionally, they’re a perfect gift if you’re shopping either on a budget or in a time crunch. Because clothes are designed in different colors and styles, many have twin options. However, when purchasing twin baby clothes, it’s a good idea to wait until they are born, because it’s difficult to predict sizes in advance.
Baby gyms are always a great gift option for twin newborns. They are built in different designs, each offering fun toys to help build motor senses. Whichever twin baby gift you choose, it’s never a bad idea to purchase one they can use together.
