Coming up with that perfect gift can be tricky sometimes. This is especially true when that gift is for a unique circumstance, such as twins' birthdays. Buying for twins can be fun, but it is sometimes hard to create matched gifts that are as unique as the two personalities. Sometimes twins prefer to emphasize their differences more than their similarities. Personalized gifts can be just the solution you are seeking, and the different options are almost limitless.
Shirts
A shirt is perhaps the easiest and most popular personalized gift there is. If the twins are newborn to toddler, consider a pair of onesies that have been personalized with names. T-shirts, hoodies or tank tops can also be personalized for older twins. If your twins are sports fanatics, consider personalized jerseys. There are many websites (see Resources) that can personalize clothing items, often requiring only that you enter the name and font that you prefer. Others allow you to upload your own image to print on the shirt, which makes the gift even more personalized. To make the two shirts not exactly the same, other than the name, use different colors for each.
Storybooks
While this option may work best for young children, a personalized story book is a lasting gift that can be personalized for twins. These stories are personalized using photos of the child, his name and other identifying information. Some stories involve twins and range from sports to princesses, from bugs to ballerinas, meaning you can pick a story that best fits the personality of each twin.
Photo Frames
Photo frames are another popular and easy personalized gift. Choose a frame where the mat has openings for two photos, or choose two separate frames. The personalization can range from the name or initials of the twins to a simple message inscribed around the perimeter of the frame or on the mat itself. If gifting two frames, pick different mats for more personalization. Place the picture already in the frame or include a gift certificate to develop their own pictures to fill the frame.
Accessories
Many accessories can be personalized for twins. For newborns, buy matching personalized pacifiers. If the twins are girls or women, buy necklaces or bracelets that can be engraved or are matching. You can also choose one where the two pieces of jewelry fit together. For a man or boy, consider personalized money clips, pocket watches or belt buckles.
