Holiday Shopping for Identical or Fraternal Twins

Twins can be twice the amount of joy, but they can also be twice the amount of work! This also proves to be true when you are shopping for twins. Having a few tips at your disposal can help you to make quick work of shopping for your precious duo.

 

When you shop for gifts for twins, one question to consider is whether you want to dress them alike. Parents of identical twins and in some cases fraternal twins prefer to dress their twins alike. This was a very common practice in the past but more and more parents have begun to discard this idea. This is because many people, including childhood experts, believe that dressing twins alike may delay them from developing their own unique dress sense in the future.

 

If you like the idea of having your twins dressed alike at times but want to ensure they  develop as two distinct individuals, one idea you might consider is purchasing a few matching outfits for special occasions but purchasing different outfits for everything else. It is important to keep in mind that although your children were born at the same time, even if they are identical twins, they are still two separate individuals.

 

Consequently, they will have two different personalities and may even prefer different styles. As your twins grow older they will be able to provide you with input regarding the styles they prefer, which will make shopping for your children much easier. Do not be surprised if you discover that your twins are completely or even radically different from one another as they grow older!
