As a twin mom, the Twin Z pillow is probably my most used product, making it an amazing gift for twin babies everywhere. While you can use this pillow for tandem breastfeeding, it has so many other awesome uses like tandem bottle feeding, tummy time, or as a general hang out spot where you can safely leave your babies. Some moms even use this as a pregnancy pillow before babies arrive. The Twin Z comes in several colors, with covers that are easily machine washable if they become soiled. The Twin Z company is constantly coming out with new patterns and designs if you’re not a fan of the plain colors.

One of the best gifts for twin babies is actually a gift for their mom. This designer twin diaper bag is something I was gifted when I brought home my twins, and I love the affordable price point and versatile design. It looks much more expensive than it is and has compartments for everything you’ll need to carry with you. The bag has 10 compartments meant for small items like keys and phones and larger ones meant for items like diapers, changes of clothes, bottles, etc. It also comes with shoulder straps for a convenient hands-free carry option and a changing pad that fits perfectly inside. Pick this beautiful navy color or from a variety of alternative color choices.
While the Keegaroo isn’t a twin specific product, it’s probably one of my most used items as a twin mom. I love this changing table because it’s virtually impossible for your child to roll off. It sticks to surfaces without budging and has safe edges that keep your babies in place. This is specifically necessary as a twin mom who is constantly distracted by her second baby. It wipes down easily to keep the mess of babies at bay and keeps laundry from piling up.
It’s so fun to capture baby milestones with a photo each month. We’ve seen these types of photos done a million ways, but one of the best and easiest ways to set up your photo is with a baby milestone blanket. This one is extra special, with a personalized header with each twin’s name. It’s made with soft plush fabric and a beautiful design, suitable for each gender. If you’re not a fan of this design, check out some of the other designs from this shop.

There are fill in the blank pages for all the most important milestones, and includes sections for the family tree, birth certificates, hospital bracelets, baby prints, doctor visits, immunizations, letters from mom and dad, memories and more. Grab some twin board books as part of this gift.
There is nothing more fun than bath time, and with two babies bath time is double the fun. If you’re shopping for boy/girl twins, we love this gender neutral option, but you can also purchase these adorable towels in pink, blue, white, grey, and a striped pattern. The Burt’s Bees brand is known for their 100 percent organic cotton, perfect for newborn baby’s extra soft skin. The hood is the perfect size for newborn babies too, and won’t be too big for their little heads. Make this gift even more special by adding these coordinating washcloths and these Burt’s Bees burp cloths.
The Baby Shusher is one of the most simple but genius inventions I’ve seen and something we use with our twins constantly to help them feel settled when they get fussy. The shusher can be set to play for 15 or 30 minutes with an automatic shut off at a variety of volumes. This little machine works nicely in the stroller or car when you might not be able to be as hands-on with your little one. For twins, we recommend buying two and keeping one at home and one on the go!
When you find out that you’re having twins, a sense of panic usually sets in. Taking care of a newborn baby is overwhelming and comes with an array of questions about eating, sleeping, health and basic care. Multiply that feeling by two. This book is one of my all-time favorites when it comes to basic care for twins – with an approach that outlines the basics in an easy to understand format that won’t overwhelm new twin parents.
If you’re stumped on what to get as a twin baby gift, consider an adorable onesie with some text that relates to the uniqueness of being a twin. This gender neutral option is great for boys and girls alike, with text that pokes a little fun that baby B was most certainly a surprise! If you’re not a fan of this design, don’t worry, there are tons of great twin onesies to shop, all at an affordable price point.
Twin babies cannot have enough swaddles, and these are our favorite on the market because of the soft breathable fabric. These are great for all seasons because of the light fabric, and the muslin simply gets softer with each trip through the wash. This company makes tons of various designs, great for boys and girls. With four to a pack, these are a great option for moms with multiples.
If you prefer a side by side stroller, the Bumbleride Indie Twin is one of the best options available. Since the seats recline fully, you can use it without the bassinets or car seat adapters, although those are options too. Another great feature of this stroller is it can be used for light jogging, potentially helping to avoid the purchase of a dedicated jogging stroller down the road. It is a bit heavy and bulky, but you won’t mind the added weight when you’re driving this around with ease.
One thing is for sure, twins spend a lot of time drinking together. These very cute onesies come in a few colors and have a design that reads “drinking buddies” with a bottle. They’re made from 100 percent cotton and have awesome reviews since they’re really comfortable and well-made.
Twin mom loves to hear about how they’re in a league of their own. This mus is the perfect way for any twin mom to start her day, and while this gift isn’t exactly for the baby, they’ll benefit from having a caffeinated caretaker. The mug is a bit bigger than you’re a standard mug, the perfect size for the double dose of coffee.
There’s nothing worse than chasing down your child and wrestling them like an alligator to get the snot out of their nose or clip their little nails. That is of course unless you have two babies who need to be chased and wrestled. The Fridababy kit is a must-have product for all moms, especially moms of twins to make these baby tasks enjoyable for all. They’re the most superior products on the market in this category for good reason.
This newer bassinet is a welcomed addition to the twin bassinet market since there aren’t too many options. The Simmons twin bassinet has mesh siding for safe sleeping and allows twins to sleep in close proximity without the dangers of touching. The bassinet has an adjustable height, which is necessary since no bed is made equally. This allows you to make the bassinet the perfect height for you. Unlike others of it’s kind, there are pockets on the side for safe keeping extra binkies, burp cloths, chapstick, or any of the other 100 items you find yourself needing during that 1am feeding. The bassinet also comes with thin mattresses and sheets, which are easily removable for machine washing.
There are tons of books dedicated to twins, but Twin to Twin is definitely one of our favorites. It’s a cute rhyming story that my kids love hearing over and over again about the special bond between twins. If you’re looking to gift some books along with another item from this list, this book should definitely be included.
