A friend in another state is expecting twins!! Should I send a gift off their registry right away and if so can I send just a card when they arrive or should it be another gift?
Thanks!
itachi LOL !
in most cases people get same stuff from many people so that makes it a hassle to them to return some back and get something else they need. best gift would be cash as parents can use it on whatever is missing 
along with a nice cute card of course
I’m 22 weeks pregnant with twins
my and my bf (cayo) family from africa and south and central america keep sending clothes now we have a huge surplus (especially booties we got about 90 somthing now ) and we were thinking about giving the extras to charity (it really hard cuz they are all so cute!!!) but…..
is that impolite
There are times when it’s not right to give away gifts given to you, but in your case.. I don’t think your twins will need 90 booties. Besides, they always manage to kick them off the moment you turn around.
I’m going to my boyfriend’s brother’s wife’s baby shower. I wanted for us to get them one big item (crib, stroller) but those are already taken. I’m thinking we should spend about $200-$250 on the gift(s). My boyfriend was thinking more like $100. We aren’t chipping in to host the shower so considering that this is for his brother (who helps him with his business), I think $200-$250 is an appropriate amount. when my very best friend had twins, I spent between $500-$600 dollars on gifts and co-hosting the shower. This is also their first child.
Any answers would be helpful. thank you
Good grief, that is A LOT of money! I suppose if you are financially comfortable with shelling out a couple hundred dollars then go for it but, really, the most I’d personally spend on a shower gift is $50 and that is only if it is/was close family.
Should I wait and see the size of the babies before I buy diapers and buy something else I’ll need?
i suggest wait on the diapers–get what else you may need
im not livin in USA where every stuff can be free delivered. after first miss carriage and difficulties, i am now happily pregnant in the middle of no where and no friend at all (just arrived after relocation). my baby predicted to born on 15 march (twin babies). as a gift, my in laws give us amazon gift card to buy stuff as a gift for the baby and they said this card has to be used for buy a baby stuff. and these are what i really want to buy…
1. Baby bouncer (will be nice to keep one at a time while im busy with the other one!?)
2. Breast pump (is a muct i guess…)
3. Baby stroller for twin
4. Carseat
I have decided to buy these items, but when i saw the shipping fee, i start to think SHOULD I BUY OR NOT.
in the city where we live there are so limited options of baby goods, and actually with the price we pay at amazon, it will be almost the same with the price in the local market but with a less good of quality.
I know i can avoid the baby bouncer, but i really really want to have this… and with the gift card i have, i can buy all those stuff together+shippment… and after the first misscariage, we really happy and wanted this baby to have "fancy" stuff…
but, do you think its worth to pay tripple price just because of the shipment fee? and i realize these stuff wont last more than 9months…
and for the stroller, is it worth it to buy the $700 for a double stroller? (really good one though) OR just buy the ordinary one with a cheaper price about $300?
Thank you SOOOOOOOO much!
PS: dont tell me about baby clothes, we have everything already from my sister
My baby HATED a bouncer. When I put her in it she sobbed and was completely scared out of her wits. She never liked it. You can’t tell if a baby will like a bouncer or not before you try it, so I don’t recommend buying one until you can try one out. Same with a baby swing.
And while a breast-pump is nice, you can’t use it for the first month (it can hurt your supply, just let them nurse naturally.) You may never use it. I actually got 2 from family who never used their breast pumps when I was pregnant. I ended up unable to breastfeed because of medical issues, so I didn’t use them either. I donated them.
I would go with the car seat or with the stroller. You need the car seat from day one, and the good ones typically aren’t that cheap. Strollers will become a necessity especially with twins on the way. I’d look for a stroller with big wheels (like a jogging stroller) since they go up and down curbs, through grass and dirt and sand, and just are easier to handle, and the further back they lay down the better it is for a newborn.

My triplets are 3, and their friend has a bitty baby and they’re all in love. Normally I wouldn’t hesitate to give them that as a Christmas gift, but I’d have to buy three and they don’t come cheap. Would you:
- buy one bitty baby and one set of bitty twins (saving a little bit of money)
- try and scope them out on eBay?
- not buy them at all?
- or avoid potential breakdowns and order them from AG?
I had never heard of these dolls, so I checked the website. They’re really charming. They remind me of the dolls I had when I was a child. They were French ones made by Corolle (http://www.corolle.com/). They still make some good ones, but unfortunately I haven’t seen any as beautiful as the two I had back then.
Your dolls may be expensive, but a beautiful doll like that is kept forever. I still have my Corolle dolls and I’m 24 now. I actually remember when I got the last one at Christmas. She was so beautiful, I couldn’t believe it.
I am trying to find a good cuddly doll for my babies Christmas gifts. My twins will be 7 months at Christmas. I am having trouble finding soft, cuddly dolls though. They all have hard plastic faces! Is there a kind out in stores this season that are actually made for babies?
Try looking in the baby department at walmart, instead of the toy department.
I had found a small stuffed doll for my baby there a few months ago.
There are also a couple listed on their website, under personalized baby gifts.. you can have baby’s name embroidered on it..

our friends are dedicating their twin sin church and i just want to know what do people buy as a gift…
Maybe a baby blanket with the family name on it???
I’m pregnant with twins, a girl and boy (I’m excited like you wouldn’t believe), and am having a baby shower for them in a month. I already have in mind what I want (for gifts). Is there a polite way to let them know what I want with a list? Can I include a list in an invite without seeming greedy? My husband mentioned something about "registering" and I’m assuming that it has something to with the gifts? I’m not entirely familiar with "registering", so can someone explain to me what that is?
Thank you 
Oh, and my twins are going to be named Ariel and Eyan.
yea its called registering. u go to where ever u want ur gifts from like babies r us, wal mart, target, kohls, ect ect…the list goes on. u go there… tell them u wanna register for ur baby shower. they will give u a scanner and u can just go to town. scan everything that u will possibly want and need for ur shower that way it will give ur guests a wide range of things to get ur babies. good luck and best wishes with ur twins
I have a friend who is having twins and an older child who will be 2 when the twins are born. I want to buy her a stroller as a baby shower gift what would be the best one to buy
I have the Valco Tri-Mode Twin.
I love it. It is a side by side and you can get all these neat attachments. It also has storage GALORE! I have pockets every where. Some of which zip off. It comes standard with a zip on UV screen and a rain cover. It is the standard width of a wheel chair so it fits through standard door openings. You can have the front wheels swivel or lock for jogger mode. I can turn it with one hand with both of my girls in it. Also, if she has more kids you can add more attachments!
Attachments:
Toddler seat
Hitch hicker (attaches to the back for the older kid to stand on)
Bassinet
Car set adaptor bar
Cup holder
