Shower Gifts for Twins
- Diapers! And wipes! Newborn twins will go through 150 diapers a week in the early days. Help them stock up. Make sure to include a gift receipt just in case they need to swap out for different sizes or brands.
- Batteries – they will always need AA, AAA, C and D batteries, pretty much until the kids go to college
- A copy of “What to Do When You’re Having Two“, the #1 Amazon Bestseller in Twins & Multiples Parenting — written by Twiniversity founder Natalie Diaz!
- An expecting twins class! Twiniversity offers these year-round in New York City, Chicago, and ONLINE! These classes (“Twins Prep” & “Newborns”) will give the twin parents-to-be peace of mind that they are doing all they can to get ready for their dynamic duo.
- Swing – make sure it can be plugged in and has options to swing side to side and front to back. Vibration in the seat is a plus! We recommend each family to start out with 1 swing.
- Bouncy chairs – get two! Brands we love: BabyBjörn & Fisher-Price
- Travel cribs – We love the BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light for it’s breathability, and it’s so lightweight! Also check out the Summer Infant Pop N’ Play portable play yard, which is fantastic for the living room, backyard, beach, just about everywhere.
- Double stroller! Every family has their own needs, but here are our top picks: Contours Options Elite (tandem), Bumbleride Indie Twin (side-by-side jogger-style), Britax B-Ready (inline – add 2nd seat for twins), and the Britax B-Agile double (standard side-by-side), Uppababy G-Link (double umbrella), Baby Trend Snap N’ Go Double (stroller frame to hold 2 infant car seats)
- Infant car seats or convertible car seats. You can’t go wrong with these brands: Britax, Cybex, Uppababy, Maxi Cosi, and Chicco.
- Gift certificates to restaurants, movie theaters, etc. so the parents can have date night
- Donate cash towards babysitters or a night nanny
- Donate your time! Make up a certificate worth 1 or 2 nights of babysitting — just make sure you bring a friend to help you out…
- Rock N’ Play – one of the top items that our parents just LOVE for their twins!
- Table for Two – this makes bottle feeding two babies at once a lot easier
- Sound machine with projector – this will help the twins to sleep!
- Baby carriers! We love the BabyBjörn Baby Carrier One for awesome back support and it comes with a newborn insert so you can use it from birth.
- The Buggy Bench – once the babies can sit up on their own, this is a must have for parents who take their babies grocery shopping alone
- Two single umbrella strollers – for when you just need to take one baby somewhere, such as a doctors appointment, or when you do 1-on-1 dates with your kids
- Love to Dream Swaddle UP swaddles – Swaddle your babies with their arms up! This is great because the babies can soothe themselves by sucking and with arms up they can push themselves up if they roll over. You’ll want to get 3 for each baby (1 in use, 1 in the wash, 1 in backup). Bonus: Add on the 50/50 Swaddle UP, a transitional swaddle that allows you to remove one swaddle “arm” at a time to ease in transition.
