You don’t have to be a parent to realize the great responsibility it takes to raise a child. So, when you find out that someone close to you is expecting not one, but two children, you can only imagine the help they’ll need in supporting their children. The good news is you can help make their lives a lot easier. By choosing a practical gift, they can use it to overcome some of the obstacles of being a parent of two. Below, are just a few neat gifts any new mother of twins would appreciate.
Easy Meals
After giving birth to twins and returning home, cooking is one of the last things a new mother wants to do. However, it goes without saying that her health and nutrition should be a top priority to recover from labor. You can give her a helping hand in a few ways. One would be to volunteer to prepare meals for the first week she’s home. Another option would be to have meals delivered to the house. Lastly, you might consider a healthy food delivery service. They would deliver prepped and ready to cook healthy meals that save her time.
Jogging Stroller
It will be very important for mom to stay in shape after having the twins. Trying to lug two car seats to the gym would obviously be a pain in the neck. However, a double jogging stroller could be just the solution. Now, when the weather permits it, she can place the twins in the stroller and go for a jog around the neighborhood or her favorite park.
A Diaper Subscription
If there’s one baby product that a mother of twins will need a lot of its diapers. If you really want to make her day, you could purchase her a diaper subscription. Amazon Prime, for example, has a service known as Amazon Mom in which she can have diapers and other baby products shipped right to her front door as she needs them.
A Good Night’s Rest
Sleep deprivation is commonplace for parents of twins. Yet, a sleepy mom isn’t going to be of much use to her children. Give her the gift of a good night’s rest. You could volunteer to come over a few nights a week and watch the babies, or you could pay for a night nanny to come over the house and watch the twins while mom and dad get their rest.
Books & Parenting Resources
First-time parents have a lot of obstacles to overcome. When you’re also expecting twins, these obstacles are doubled. You can provide them with peace of mind by purchasing parenting books or supplying them with resources filled with pregnancy information and parenting advice.
Housekeeping Services
If there’s one thing you should know about being a new parent, it’s that your household chores will fall by the wayside. If you can’t pitch in and clean the place up yourself, you can do the new parents of twins a huge favor by hiring a maid to do it for them. Whether you can afford just a day or a few weekly visits it will certainly help them keep things organized.
A Spa Day
Being a new mother is a joyous occasion. However, adjusting to the new responsibilities can be stressful, to say the least. What mom wouldn’t enjoy a spa day to spoil herself? You can treat her to a massage, or a manicure/pedicure. It can help to relieve her stress and improve her mood.
There’s a lot involved in parenting twins and the mom-to-be will need all the love and support she can get. Outside of giving her your time and volunteering to help out, you can purchase a gift that will make the first few months of her life a lot easier. These practical ideas will make raising multiples a lot less stressful and she’ll forever be grateful for the gesture.
