What to Consider When Purchasing Gifts for Twins
- Price: Parents will be purchasing two of almost everything moving forward for twins, which can get pricey. Help in any department will definitely be appreciated!
- Grows With The Babies: Again, keep price in mind when purchasing in relation to how long you or the parents will actually be able to use a product.
- Practicality: Is this something the parents and babies will be using every day, or at least a few times a week? Parents will definitely appreciate the sentiment of cute outfits, but keep the practicality of must-have itemsin mind, too.
- Hands-Free: One baby can be difficult enough to manage, let alone two! Any products which encourage or assist in keeping the parents hands-free is a total win.
- Functionality: Can the product double as something else in the future? Does it pack away and store easily?

Best At-Home Entertainment for Twins
For your little ones that are in need of some stimulation (and when you need some down time), these Jumperoos will do the trick. With multiple activity stations that allow your babies to bounce, play, and entertain themselves unassisted, this rainforest-inspired seat is where it’s at. Plus, there are three adjustable seat positions to grow with both babies.
We all know things can get messy, even during playtime, and luckily the soft and comfortable seat pad is machine washable and dryer safe, so you can get things clean during naptime. And don’t worry about this taking up too much space at home! You can pivot the frame into a nested position for easy storage when not in use, or fold it up to move it from room to room.
Amazon: “Our twin boys LOVE this jumper. We have one for each of them and I couldn't imagine what their days would be like without this.”
Amazon: “Sometimes they jump all around like crazy, sometimes they just chill & play with the toys & other times they just sit & watch TV or each other. It is really funny if you have twins because you can see them mirror each other in these, one does something & the other will follow suit.”
Best Outfit Choice for Twins
What could be better than matching outfits for a set of twins? Coordinating onesies with hilarious phrases on them! This pattern is available in four different colors and will be the perfect gift for parents-to-be of newborn twins.
This unisex outfit is made from a cotton blend material, the perfect soft and stretchy outfit for your little ones that can be dressed up or down! Plus, it’s available in sizes from 0-12 months, making it perfect for photoshoots or even a first birthday present.
Amazon: “These are so cute that my daughter used them in a video announcement that they are expecting twins. Can't wait to see them on the babies when they are born!!!”
Amazon: “Bought for a twins baby shower. It looks just as pictured and good quality fabric. The expectant mother loved them.”
Best Active Stroller for Twins
For parents always on the move, a sturdy stroller that can go from walks around the neighborhood to hikes is a must-have. The City Mini GT Double Stroller features 85" all-terrain, non-flat tires, front wheel suspension, adjustable sun canopies, an adjustable handlebar, and vented seat tops. And it’s a breeze to fold up and travel thanks to the quick fold technology if you’re taking it while you travel.
Though it’s pricey, this will grow with you and your babies thanks to a tall seat back and long foot well which will allow them to grow into the comfortable plush padded seats, which can recline to a near flat position as needed.
Amazon: “I'm glad I splurged. I've gone through several of the cheaper strollers, mostly used, for my firstborn, but my second was a set of twins and I wanted to make things easier on myself.”
Amazon: “We love the City Mini GT for our twins. Since the seats recline almost all the way, we've been able to use this as since Day 1. Our girls were preemies and we did need to use rolled up receiving blankets to support their heads early on.”
Best For Breastfeeding Moms
Fans of Shark Tank will love this one! The Twin Z Pillow is a hands free 6-in-1 pillow that does it all: breastfeed, bottle feeding, tummy time, sitting support, infant reflux, toddler time. You’ll likely have to feed both babies at the same time, and this makes that feat seem easy as pie, which provides security and comfort for your babies while supporting your back.
The waterproof material makes it a breeze to clean spit-up and spills, but you can also order a cuddle cover for something even more cozy.
Amazon: “My twins are almost 1 year and I see us continuing to use this pillow. Best and only thing we still use from birth.”
Amazon: “My granddaughter had twin girls and uses it for holding them when they are setting together on the couch, uses it for holding and feeding them whether breast feeding or bottle feeding, and uses it a lot for setting them in front of her while she feeds the both at the same time with their bottles and just laying them in it to talk and play with at the time as they are just a few weeks old.”
Best For Capturing Memories
It can be difficult enough as it is to get one squirmy baby to pose for a photo, so two definitely isn’t any easier! This fluffy fleece blanket is breathable and made of a flannel and cotton lycra blend that’s delicate to the touch and on their skin.
Two open spaces make this the perfect way to capture how the twins grow up over the first year of their life without being too big. The woodland forest-inspired design is made with 3D digital printing instead of a conventional staining technique, which won’t fade in the wash or with time.
Another great gender-neutral option is the Kute 'n' Koo Premium Fleece Twins Baby Monthly Milestone Blanket.
Amazon: “It is exactly the way the product was described. My twins fit very easily in the space provided. Too cute and adorable.”
Amazon: “I love this monthly milestone blanket. It is so soft and big, and it was perfect for twins.”
Best Blanket for Cuddling Twins
No jealousy allowed! This pack of two security blankies is perfect for a set of twins, so one is never jealous of what the other has. Pick from a wide range of soft and snuggly animal heads that are easy to grip during naptime or playtime, and they’ll love for years to come
Each 13” x 13” blanket is made from a soft and snuggly 100% polyester microfiber material that is machine washable, which parents of twins will love.
Amazon: “I have twin baby boys and we were given a hippo and zebra Angel Dear blankie as a gift when they were about three months old. They are now six months and never sleep without them!”
Amazon: “Adorable! I bought for my twin grand babies on the way and had their names embroidered on them and made them part of the diaper cake.”
Best for Shopping with Twins
For families that love hitting up big box stores like Costco and Sam’s Club for their essentials, bringing two young kids can be a hassle, but not anymore! This machine washable double shopping cart is made of a cotton and polyester blend that keeps baby comfortable and parents hands-free while you’re grabbing the groceries.
And don’t worry about storing anything bulky in the car! This rolls easily into the matching travel case, so nothing will crowd up the trunk.
Amazon: “Perfect for my twins! Super cute print. Durable and fits Sam's club carts like I needed. Love that it folds into itself and has handles for easy carrying.”
Amazon: “This works great and is super convenient. We use it every time we go to Costco with our twins. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.”
Best For Traveling With Twins
This lightweight carrier makes it easy to have both babies with you on the move, without the need for a stroller. This 100% cotton kit is durable and versatile, and makes it easy for you to split this from a double-child carrier to two single-child carriers with the purchase of extra straps.
The ergonomic design keeps your babies’ spine and hips in a safe, wide-legged position, and the sleep hoods will provide necessary support for their heads while they sleep, plus protect them from the sun. And regardless of their size, eight adjustment zones allow you and each baby optimal comfort front and back.
Amazon: “This carrier is amazing and allows me to get stuff done and get out of the house without having to pack the double stroller! I love how easy it makes it to tandem carry my twins—none of the extra bulk caused by extra straps of two separate carriers.”
Amazon: “I can easily go shopping with my twins by myself and when one of my older children is with or my husband a couple clicks and we have 2 carriers. I was surprised how much storage is available on the packs which makes it so I no longer need a diaper bag.”
Best Bassinet For Twins
This center is the perfect solution for twin parents! Featuring two side-by-side removable bassinets, complete with their own canopy and carry handle, you’ll never have to worry about moving one awake baby while the other rests. Adjust as needed for use as a pack ‘n play or changing table, and move it with easy to use wheels and brakes, or take it to go in the travel bag.
Time for bed? The electronic music center on each bassinet is complete with a nightlight for middle of the night check-ins or changes, and includes two styles of music plus vibration. We especially love the compact parent storage organizer for diapers, pacifiers, and more!
Amazon: “This is the best twin bassinet out there in my opinion. My twin girls sleep great in there every night. We have removed the bassinets to use when we traveled and it was so easy and quick.”
Amazon: “My twins are 10 weeks old now and sleep in this next to our bed for bedtime. They also come with small sound machines that snap on to the bassinets with a few different noises/tunes as well as a small light for in the middle of the night and you don't want to turn on an overhead light to check on them.”
Best For Dinnertime with Twins
Many new parents choose to make their own baby food at home for their littles, and with twins that means double the food! This baby food maker takes the hassle out of prepping purées, and you only need one container to steam and blend. No need to steam separately and take out your blender!
If you’re in a rush at lunchtime, it can take as little as 10 minutes from prep to high chair. But if you’re not short on time, there’s a 3.5 cup capacity bowl for easy storage, plus 3 easy-to-fill food pouches for food on the go.
Amazon: “I use it every day in order to prepare solids for my twins. It is incredibly easy...you slice the food and you can choose to blend, steam and blend, or just steam the food.”
Amazon: “I go crazy when it’s time to make fresh healthy food for my twins I know exactly what’s going into their food and they love it. This product is a great price and saves you tons of money on baby food. If you make too much freeze it and use it for later.”
