It's hard to believe Christmas is so swiftly approaching! This post is for those of you who are ahead of the game when it comes to holiday shopping and who might want some inspiration for twins gifts. (And the rest of you, the ones who wait until the last minute to buy gifts, you can come back to this post in a month.)
Of course, please don't take this post as a demand or even request that you buy gifts for the girls. That is totally optional. This is intended solely to help out anyone who already wanted to get them gifts and wasn't quite sure what to buy.
Overall rule of thumb: We tend to buy toys that are a bit above their age range (which will be 18 months at Christmas) -- then they'll still have fun with the new toys, and they'll have time to grow into them. That's been working out pretty well for us. Big hits these days are stacking toys, puzzles, kid-friendly musical instruments, pretend-play sets (barns, dollhouses, the like), crayons and coloring books, and stuffed animals. (Sophia is obsessed with puppies and penguins. Evelyn prefers baby dolls.)
The girls love books and can always use more. New bedtime books would be great, as well as picture books and first words books.
Clothes: They're wearing size 12-18 months now, so go with that if you're getting them winter clothes. (Go larger if you want to pick up clothes for them to wear next summer.) Matching clothes? Non-matching clothes? We don't care.
For some specific ideas, you can visit the twins' Amazon.com wish list. (It's under Sophia's name, but it's really for both of them.)
Some other great sites we love for buying the girls lots of stuff they don't need:
oompa.com
gymboree.com
potterybarnkids.com
robeez.com
Let the shopping begin!
