Twin Baby Gift Baskets And Diaper Cakes
Twin baby gift baskets are available in a great variety online. And if you are in a rush or have no time to spare, it is probably best to order a pre-made one.
But, if you do have time, it is so much more fun to make a gift basket yourself. It is absolutely easy and a handmade one is more personal and shows that you care a lot!
Honestly speaking, I think that most of the standard gift hampers for newborn twins look rather kitschy - you can do better... For the "ingredients" (see the list below) you can shop at your local mall or also online at amazon or online baby boutiques and then arrange everything nicely in your basket.
Just follow my instructions and browse through my ideas to make a wonderful baby twin gift basket for these cute little newborn arrivals.
Choosing A Basket
For a twins newborn gift basket you'll need a bigger basket than for a single baby. Thus, choose a big basket or even a big plastic bowl.
It is always nice and sustainable if the basket can be used later on. For example, a rectangular fabric lined basket may well serve as a diaper repository on the changing table afterwards. And a square or round plastic bowl is a great toy for later, for the babies to play with water in the garden. And when you have twins, little practical items like these will help to manage the chaos. Actually the best practical idea is to fill a large diaper caddy organizer with your twin baby items.
Depending on the gender of the twins go for a suitable color. If you are up to it, you can also make two separate baskets. But taking only one saves you to buy just everything double (for example baby care products).
Items To Include In A Twin Baby Gift Basket
Here are some ideas of what to add to a gift basket for twins. You decide what best suits for 'your twins' and do the mix and match yourself! You can also add some personalized items - or, in case it's a boy and a girl, pink and blue might simply be your choice.

Homemade Twin Baby Gift Baskets
Decorating Your Twin Baby Gift Basket
For a cute looking baby basket gift roll up your wash cloths, bibs, blankets, rompers, onesies, tees, etc. and decorate them with ribbons.
Also really cute: A 'Twins on board' sign.
Then arrange everything nicely in your basket, you'll probably need to play around a little bit until everything fits and is in place. In my basket I just put the animal wash cloths over big bottles of baby lotion and shampoo.
Do not forget to finish your gift with clear gift foil wrapping and lots of ribbons. You can also add on or more napkin roses. Just follow the link above and you'll get further explanations there.
And, in the end, your efforts will be rewarded by a great handmade twin baby gift basket!
Twin Babies Diaper Cake In A Basket
A cute alternative to a baby gift basket is a boxed diaper cake for the twins. You can make just one cake for both or two separate but identical boxes as shown here. Pastel colors are always a good choice, they make the cakes look more "delicate". You can fill the boxes with diapers and baby accessories, then cover with a burp cloths and put your diaper babies - or even more baby accessories or rolled clothes on top.
