Twin boys can be so much fun to shop for; however, it becomes more expensive, because you have to buy two of everything. When you're shopping for your own twin babies or someone else's twin baby boys, there are some hints and tricks to save money. You can find adorable presents at any budget for twin boys' birthdays, baby showers and more.
Homemade Gifts
If you're on a tight budget but still want to give meaningful gifts, consider what talents you have to offer. If you know how to knit, use your skills to knit a couple of baby blankets in different colors such as green and blue. If you know how to sew, you could make baby booties or outfits for the twins inexpensively. If you have enough time and creative scrapbooking skills, you could put together individualized scrapbooks for each baby. With twin boys, the parents probably don't have the time to do this, but it would be a special memory for them that they'll surely appreciate.
If you can't think of any specific skills but you have experience with babies, you could give the couple a gift certificate for free babysitting. They'll be able to have a date night and you'll get to play and bond with the babies.
Baskets
If you have a couple little things that you would love to give to twin baby boys such as books, bibs and diapers, arrange them in two baskets. Once the baskets are filled with goodies, enclose them in cellophane and attach a ribbon with a tag that states the baby's name at the top. You could have a theme for each basket, so they're a little bit different. For example, you could have an elephant theme for one basket and a monkey theme for the other basket.
Personalized Items
Keeping track of what items belong to which twin baby can be difficult for parents. Make their job easier by giving them personalized gifts. For example, give the babies blankets with their initials sewn on them or give them picture frames that have their names on them.
Online Gifts
There are tons of websites that specialize in gifts for twins such as Pretty Baby Gifts and Stork Baby Gift Baskets, so you don't have to rely on your own creativity (see Resources). You can order a gift for twin boys and have it delivered to their parents for baby showers or birthdays. This is a great option if you live far away and aren't able to deliver the gifts in person.
