If your Godchild is a twin...

[WhatchaTalkinBoutWilis]

Do you give presents to both of them? My close friend recently asked me to be Godmother to one of her twins. When they were born I gave to both, at the christening I gave to both, but now with Christmas approaching and shortly after their 1st birthday, what do i do?

With twin children you always give to both.

I remember reading a blog of a mother who went to a party for twins and each twin was in a different class and invited their class so she just took a gift for one (the child that is her child's classmate) only to be mortified to realize on arrival that she was the only one that didn't buy for both children.

I do the same with joint birthdays, even if my kid was only invite/friends with one party boy/girl they still take a gift for both.

My kids' godparents buy their own godchild's gift. If they come to stay they bring the other child a smaller gift. There are four godparents and none are relatives.

My DH abd his siblings' godparents are family members and buy a "special" gift still for their godchild and smaller for the other siblings!

My godmother never bought me anything and my sibling had no godparent!

Anything goes. I wouldn't expect the godparents to buy siblings gifts though or remember birthdays of siblings. I'd actually tell them to stop if they did!

And my kids never had difficulty understanding that they got different types of gifts from their different for parents. We just said "That's from her godmother" and that was it.

If you start off giving all siblings something then you can't really stop it easily though.

Equal gift for all the children in the family.

One of my DTs godmothers just buys for the one. I do get it, but would prefer one small present each... or none?! I have to explain every year to the one that doesn’t get a present!

I was with my godson, his twin sister and their step sister today. I bought the same for all three of them

I just couldn't imagine treating siblings differently for any reason when it comes to buying gifts.
