Trying to figure out what to get for your sister's twins be very daunting. Sure, you want to get extravagant and unique baby gifts to commemorate the joyous event. But then, at the back of your mind, you also want to get something practical, something that will be helpful to the new parents.
You know what they say about twins: "they're double the blessing, but also double the challenge." So what would you rather give? A unique baby gift that will impress, or a practical baby gift that will be much appreciated? Why not give something that will do both? The following is a list of practical and unique baby gifts that you can't go wrong with.
Offer to Help Out
This will not cost you a dollar, but you can be sure of its authenticity. Offers of help are definitely unique baby gifts in the sense that you cannot buy them on any baby store, or any other store, for that matter, not even for a thousand bucks!
Offer to babysit or run errands for a day so the parents can take time off for some much needed rest and relaxation. But be specific and sincere in your offer. Ask yourself how much time you can set aside for them and what exactly you can do, instead of what you just want to do for them. If you are not confident about your babysitting skills, do not take any chances. Just offer to cook dinner, or help with the laundry, instead. One thing to remember, though, when offering help to the new parents is to stay true to your word.
Diapers
Who would have thought diapers could be such great baby gifts? Ask the parents whether they prefer using cloth or disposable diapers, and then wrap up a few dozens. Diapers may not be fancy and all, but hey, they fall under the category of unique baby gifts. It is not often that new parents get to open a box of diapers!
Twin-themed Gift
Admit it. Twin-themed gifts are just adorable. Buy a pair of twin-themed baby items like frames, pillows, or clothes, and turn it into unique baby gifts by personalizing it with the babies' names, or even their time of arrival. You can also cook up witty slogans you can paint or engrave on your chosen items. A tip on buying clothes, though: ask the parents about the babies needs and sizes, so that your unique baby gifts will be useful.
Infant and Mommy Care Items
Buy a few practical items such as bath accessories, medicine dispensers, thermometers, diaper rash ointments, pain relievers, burp rags, and nail clippers. But before you wrap them up, get a few items for mom as well. She deserves to be celebrated just as much as the new babies are. So go ahead, throw in a couple of skin care items that the new mommy needs such as ultra-rich body lotions, facial creams, eye gel, body butter, and belly creams.
If you are willing to go the extra mile, get her a gift certificate to the beauty salon or to the spa. Make sure you hand it to her the same time you offer to babysit. Never mind getting her mommy guidebooks. With two babies to take care of, you know she would rather doze off when she can than read books.
