5 Unique Holiday Gift Ideas for Twins

I've been getting a lot of folks asking for gift recommendations for twins lately so I thought I would put the list on the blog so everyone can check it out!!

5 Unique Holiday Gifts for Twins

1. Dear Santa My Twin Did It - Holiday Tshirts
These long sleeve red tshirts are great for the holidays. I've seen LOTS of different holiday themed tshirts for twins over the years,
but these are by far my favorite!!





2. Wooden Craft Easel
This is a great gift for twins because they can play with it together, but yet they each have their own space to play and create.


3. Merry TWINSmas Candy Bars
Just a cute little stocking stuffer for your favorite set of twins. My boys just love getting anything that's specially for twins and these candy bars are just the thing.



4. Twins Story Book
My personal favorite is "Twice As Nice - What It's Like to be a Twin" but there are others to choose from as well. These type of books celebrate the uniqueness of twins at the holidays or any time of year.





5. A "Date" with Mom or Dad (or some other special adult in their life)
This might sound a little crazy but twins are always sharing their time with parents. It's very rare for a twin to have any one-on-one time with their mom or dad. We've made a conscious effort to try and make sure our twin boys each get some alone time with us and Christmas time is usually a good time to make this happen.

Celebrity Twins!!

It's incredible to me how many celebritites are having twins!! They are ALL over the magazines at the checkout counter of the supermarkets and everytime I look there's another set of celebrity twins. Jennifer Lopez, Marcia Cross, Patrick Dempsey, Mia Hamm, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, and Elvis Costello (just to name a few) are all new parents of twins and the list goes on and on. In fact, I recently came across some celebrity feedback on our Wombmates shirts at http://www.wombmates.com/ I guess that's my brush with celebrity for this year.

It makes sense that the number of celebrity twins is increasing for all the same reasons that the rate of twins is increasing in the general population. The incidence of twin births is on the rise for women in general, not just for those who are famous. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, people on average are waiting longer to start families. Women over the age of thirty are more likely to conceive twins than younger mothers. Second, women in their thirties and forties are more likely to struggle with infertility than those in their twenties. Twin births are more likely when conception is assisted with the use of fertility drugs and techniques such as in vitro fertilization. It should be noted that all of the mothers mentioned above were over thirty at the time they conceived their twins. I was over 30 when my twins came along as well. I guess now I have at least two things in common with these celebs!!
