Should Gifts for Twins Be Identical

The birth of twins is twice as exciting for friends and family but overwhelming for the new parents. If they are first time parents they know they need two of everything but don't know what they really need.

Do you send them two identical twin gifts or do you choose the same gift in different colors or totally different items.

Here are some tips?

If the Mom likes to dress the twins alike, be sure you buy exactly the same outfit, towel, blanket or toy for each.

However,if the Mom wants to go another route; follow her suggestions.

Many modern Moms are tired of dressing their twins exactly alike. If you have two matching outfits and one of the accessories like a shirt is in the wash- it's a nightmare. Most Moms like to have a color theme for their nursery and clothing. If it is brown, then all of the outfits match brown pants or brown tops. One baby can be in blue and brown, the other in green and brown or brown and white.

Find out the favorite color and buy towels, blankets , stuffed animals that are similar but different enought for the twins to be individuals. For example, buy a green security frog blanket and a brown monkey security blanket.Make sure each twin gift is the same price and size, but each is uniquely different.

Twins are used to sharing and often don't mind switching toys or clothes. We have lots of great twins gifts at www.namelynewborns.com
