Friend's dc has been invited to a party for girl twins turning 5. What's the etiquette same gift for each, different gifts for each or a gift between them? DC has only just started school with them so friendship still new. TIA

Definitely a present each

What about one of those £4.99 Galt art and craft kits? You know, 'make your own necklaces' or 'make your own badges'

I'm not sure.

With a friends' twins, last year I did separate presents, this year I did one present which was for both of them.

They are younger though, only 3.

What ideas have you had?

One present each. Also one card each.

Bernard's idea is good. Or jigsaws? Or those Orchard Games?

Those Galt kits are great

Most of them are under a fiver and are not the usual plastic tat

They do boy-ish ones too, like 'make your own slime' and suchlike

Cheap and cheerful
