Gifts for twins: 5 great ideas https://about-twins.com/children/gifts-for-twins/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=gifts-for-twins Fri, 29 Apr 2016 10:54:07 +0000 https://about-twins.com/?p=974 We’ve selected 5 great gifts for twins, but before we get started we have some food for thought. We want to make sure that whatever you pick will be received well.

– Do the twins share a similar taste in something? If they do it’s fine to buy them matching gifts. However, consider buying the gifts in different colors so they know whose is whose. If they don’t share a particular taste, then buy them something different.

– Never buy 1 gift for 2 children (unless it’s something they both can play with at the same time, like a play house). You’ll signal that you view the children as one entity, instead of two individuals. Buy two small gifts instead of one large if money is tight.

– If you are looking for twin baby gifts we can also help you out. Go to this article and find 8 great ideas mainly suited for children under the age of two.

5 great gifts for twins

Infinity jewelry

This type of jewelry is for both boys and girls. Infinity jewelry symbolize eternity, empowerment and everlasting love. It can serve as a physical reminder of the strong bond the twins share or (hopefully) will develop. Etsy.com has quite a selection of this type of twin jewelry. There are necklaces, bracelets, rings, keychains, charms, boy leather bracelets and much more.

LEGO

Most children enjoy building and playing. That’s why so many children get a kick out of Lego.
On the LEGO website you can find different categories and themes like Star Wars, Disney Princess and DUPLO (for the very young children). They’ve divided the categories in age range, so you can find bricks for both twin babies, twin toddlers or older twins.

Children savings account

Help them save up money. Create individual children savings accounts. It may take an explanation in order for them to understand why this is cool gifts for twins, but here’s your chance to teach them a bit about money and how the world works. If they don’t get it right away, they’ll definitely thank you when they are older.

Twin dolls

There are a variety of twin dolls you can buy. Both boy/boy, girl/boy and girl/girl combinations. You can also buy Barbie Careers Twin Babysitter Doll and Playset. If you have identical twins you can buy two of the same type of doll or different dolls, if you have fraternal twins. The children will have so much fun with another set of twins in the house. You can also buy accessories like different starter sets, twin stroller and play food.

Easel for two

The easel for two has magnetic letters and a paper clip on each side for painting and drawing activities. In addition, one side can be used for drawing with chalk and the other for magnetic numbers, signs and letters.
