Gift ideas?

Close friends of ours are expecting twins in January. She is now on modified bed rest at 25 weeks though. They say they've already bought all of their baby stuff but we'd still like to get them a gift before we move in a month. Any ideas of twin must haves that you didn't know you'd need? They are team green.

    I would imagine diapers, gift cards for food, or gift cards for baby 'stuff' would be helpful!

    Diapers and food!! A couple of friends gave me a GC to a frozen meal delivery service that has been so great. We also did online grocery shopping, as it was really tough to take the two of them out and drag a shopping cart with the double stroller. The mass amount of diapers was also rough, so I think that'd be very thoughtful.

    I'd stay away from any baby items, as it seems a lot of twin moms have different opinions about what we need two of. For example, two swings would have been a waste for us, but I loved having two bouncy chairs.

    Best wishes to your friend!! Bed rest is so hard. If you are looking for a bed rest gift, I think an iTunes/ Amazon GC (if she has a Kindle) would be excellent. I watched quite a few shows on DH's Kindle Fire during my days on the couch.
