When a couple first finds out that they are expecting a baby, it can be just as exciting as it can be terrifying. Now, imagine this joy and understandable fear multiplied by two. When twins are on the way, it means that there is pretty much double the pressure and responsibility. Which is why it’s so important for friends and family to show as much support as possible. One of the best ways of doing this is by helping ensure that the parents-to-be have everything they need. New baby gift hampers are excellent for this reason. That said, you or the parents may not know whether to expect two girls, boys, or one of each. The good news is that there are some excellent options that keep it simple and neutral.
If you would like to send clothing as a gift, it’s a good idea to choose neutral colours. So, no matter the gender of the little ones, the clothes will be perfect and they can even be shared. Some great examples include white, yellow, turquoise and brown. It’s also good to remember to keep clothing limited because newborns tend to grow very quickly. So, along with the newborn outfit, you should consider other useful items like socks, hats, and gloves.
When sending useful accessories that all babies need, you should always check with the parents to make sure that they don’t already have whatever it is that you want to buy. Thermometers, for example, are essential and they might want to have one for each baby. However, unlike bibs and diapers, they will not need too many of them. Speaking of which, bibs, clothing protectors, blankets, changing mats and similar items are always great. No matter how many of these they already have, extra will always come in handy.
Toys are also great for newborns and they might not enjoy it right away but they will certainly grow into them. Just make sure that you select a toy that is suitable for newborns. For example, some stuffed animals tend to lose fibres and this can be dangerous for babies. The right toys, however, do not pose this risk. Some toys are specifically designed to encourage movement and coordination while others have fun sounds and features that baby will most likely enjoy once they are a little bit older. Remember to always check the age recommendation on the toy before you send it.
There are plenty of amazing new baby hampers available and they really take the guesswork out of shopping for that bundle of joy. When shopping for twins, remember to include something for each of them. You will find the usual pink and blue options as well as neutral colours if you don’t know the genders of the babies or if you simply prefer neutral shades.
