Gift ideas for b/g twins turning one!

jamdonut

Hi All, Need some help with gift ideas for one year old b/g twins. What were some of your favorites? Not sure to do a gift to share..books, toys etc or do something special just for each? Thanks!

I think that either is fine (shared or individual gifts).

Some of our favorites were the water/sand table, a kiddie pool, Melissa and Doug puzzles, and the B. Pa Rum drum/instruments.

GL!

I personally liked getting gifts for them to share for their first birthday.  Usually it was a larger gift (like the picnic table below), which was nice because most everyone got them each a smaller gift.  They ended up with a pretty good variety because of this.  Besides, there's very few birthdays that we are able to get away with that.  Some of our favorite toys we got are:

They're currently OBSESSED with this thing! https://www.amazon.com/Playskool-Explore-Grow-Busy-Popper/dp/B002B555QQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2XFUSDME8G1ML&colid=2A1CDKUM79U4J

My girls love this, and none of the instruments are too loud. https://www.amazon.com/Toysmith-Parum-Pum-Drum-68626/dp/B002YIRKOK/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I27VMCSS2R7YNQ&colid=2A1CDKUM79U4J

The ball popper is awesome...that would be a hit! Thanks for the links to amazon.

You're welcome!  I think that everything above is available at Target, except for the cards.

Great...there is a Target on the way home from work, I think this and some of the Melissa and Dough puzzles will be perfect for them. Plus I have a new ideas for toys for my future boys!
