Twins Shower Gift Ideas?

[poohs_hunny]

A friend at work is expecting twins (boys). Does anyone have an idea for a cute gift? I've never done a shower gift for twins before, and could go with just clothes, supplies, etc., but was looking for something a bit special. I already have a double photo frame that says "Twice as Nice" and need something to go with it. I'm looking for non-homemade ideas (shower is next week!) Thanks for any help you can give!

If you don't mind paying for expedited shipping, Etsy is a great place to look. I love items I have found on there for twins. Here's a few

These are some of the most popular among twin moms I know.

If you want to do something that will have an heirloom quality to it you could do silver spoons and mom can have them engraved later.

I gave my sister lots of packages of diapers for her baby shower. I know she will be using them.

I always went nuts for the coordinating outfits when my twins were infants. If I took the trouble to get everyone clean and dressed and out the door, it was an event, and I wanted them looking cute!! I figured it's such a short time that you can actually dress them alike without "lasting damage," so I took advantage.
the Excedrin can't hurt either!

I saw a double shopping cart seat cover the other day! Super cute!

I was never really into the whole twin thing, but I loved funny twin onsies and tshirts! I saved them all (like the HE DID IT SHE DID IT with arrows).

Talking to some of the parent friends I have they always loved bath supplies, powder, diapers, bag balm, A & D ointment, etc. They are things that always use and cuts down on their expenses as well.

some "coupons" for helping out

As a twin mom, who is hosting a shower for a new twin mom next week, I can tell you the best gift is either diapers, or premade meals. A twin parent will change over 5000 diapers in the first year alone, so diapers are a great gift that will be MUCH appreciated. Eating well is so important so that mom has the energy, but often times there just isnt time to make anything.... giving a GC to a place in your area that makes premade meals, or throwing together some spaghetti sauce that can go in the freezer, is a great idea.

As of mom of twins - I'd give something practical and useful. Diapers, GC for Babies R Us, etc.... - trust me, that is special when you have twins to provide for.

When we had a shower for my brother's wife, we asked everyone to bring a package of diapers to help build a diaper mountain since they would be "changing a mountain of them". They got @62 packages of varying sizes. They went through them in the blink of an eye! So I second the diapers idea. Also, gift cards to pizza places/delivery places near them were a godsend especially when the babies were up every 3 hours and not at the same time...lol

A gift card out to dinner with offer to babysit so mom and dad can get out and have an hour break sometime within the first 3 months!

We used to buy the same outfit in two different colors for our twin boys (they are identical so it was easy for relatives to match a name with whatever color they were wearing that day).

I always make a "clothes" line with clothes from newborn up to 18-24 months. I just like the way it looks and it gives a "wow" factor, in addition to the necessities such as diapers, and wipes!
