Finding the perfect Christmas gifts for twins can be challenging. While you want to encourage their individual development, you also want to make sure the gifts are equal so you don't show favoritism. To find the right gifts for twin girls, buy them things which are similar but which they can customize to match their individual personalities. This kind of Christmas gift will make sure they both feel special, while giving them a chance to express themselves. - As the girls grow up, they will begin developing their own hobbies, interests and social lives. To encourage this individual development, help them make their own pre-made scrapbooks. Take into account their favorite colors and personal styles when choosing the scrapbooks and the themes of the pages. Use a picture of the twins together on the front, and make the first few pages pictures of them as babies. Make the remaining pages themed for their birthdays, Christmases, proms, and so on, leaving the pages blank so that they can add pictures along the way. Not only will it be a fun craft for them but it is also a great way to encourage them to document their journeys to adulthood.
- Most girls like jewelry, especially simple meaningful pieces that they can wear every day. Buy each of the twins a pendant; make sure they are similar in size and style but are not completely matching. For instance, if one girl likes soccer, buy her a small silver or gold soccer ball pendant. If the other enjoys dancing, buy her a ballet slipper pendant. A different take on this is to buy each girl a charm bracelet with different charms that express their personalities. You can continue to buy gifts for the charm bracelets over the upcoming holidays as well, forming a fun Christmas tradition.
- Whether the girls each have their own rooms or share one, they will most likely need a decor makeover to take them into their teen years. A great idea for a memorable Christmas present is to give each girl a gift card or a special allowance to pick out paint, curtains, bedding, pillows and decorative pieces. If they share one room, they may have to compromise on the color of the walls, but they can customize the rest of the decor. If you're an adventurous parent, allow each girl to paint one wall in the room a different color, leaving the other two walls a neutral color. As long as all of the colors coordinate, it will give the room an interesting and youthful look. The biggest bonus of this gift is it is another way to help the girls express their individualism and creativity.
