Close family member due twins in October, what are your best buys that I can get for them.

A twin feeding pillow. Absolutely invaluable as somewhere to feed them/rest them/upright after feeds for reflux.

Otherwise twin pram/extra car seat if big ticket items?

A voucher to Cook or similar.

A cordless dyson. Absolutely invaluable for under the high chairs/table, for a really long time.

Any recommendation on feeding pillows.

Ask them what they want. Don't try and guess. It's an expensive time for them. Alternatively, give vouchers

I've already asked and getting rocking chairs, I was just meaning is there any recommendations for things the may not even know about that are specific to twins.

So not high ticket items.

Mine is like this one, but it might be a bit high for tiny babies. Worth a search online and check out reviews.

Other smaller things we needed was a set of bottles in a different colour for each twin (if bottle feeding), extra cellular blankets etc.

If they don’t already have it, Prime membership for next day delivery.

Snugglebundls. Allows you to manage twins easily, even from a hospital bed, and to move them while asleep from car to house to pram to cot. Lifesavers

Definately going to get the snuglebundl.

Twin feeding pillow is definitely a must - I got one from asda.

I agree with different colour bottles.

Extra large muslins.

One of my favourite presents was really simple and a pack of white card and two paint pads so I could take their hand and footprints at regular intervals for memory boxes.

Amazon prime! That was an absolute life saver when mine were babies.
