This is my compilation of the toys my twins have enjoyed at different ages and stages. This list may seem a little skewed towards girls but really, every toy here can be enjoyed by all kids regardless of gender.
True fact: Every toy listed on this page (or a variation of it) was bought and well-loved in our home.
Best Gifts for new moms of twins
Honestly, most new moms in general and of twins in particular need- time to themselves (offer to babysit on their terms);
- acceptance of their new reality (no they can't come to the downtown hangout in the middle of the day for coffee; that interfers with naptime, sorry)
- no judgement of their choices (breast feeding or not, being hyper-protective and anal about everything? Give the gift of acceptance; this new territory is hard to navigate.)
- food they didn't have to cook themselves. Drop off home cooked dishes if you're close enough or order them some delivery
- cold hard cash (or giftcard to a store with really useful things like diapers, formula or clothes)
- a self-care treat (e.g at home pedicure)

Best Gifts for Twins to Share:
Because "No", you don't always have to buy 2 of everything, everytime. Here are some gifts that 2 can share easily (and peacefully).
PS: Those walkie-talkies were a lot of fun for going on spy missions and adventures around the house. They're actual 2-way radios for adults and not the kid toy radios so they've lasted 3 years and counting.
