Gift etiquette for twins?

[Ceebee74]

DS1 has been invited to a 4th birthday party of boy/girl twins. He is good friends with both of them.

Should I buy a present for each of them or spend a bit more on a bigger present that they can share (I was thinking of something like a board game)?

A present for each.

I think either is totally acceptable generally if he's friends with both. Why don't you ask the mum? She can tell you if the two of them have any issues with wanting to keep their things separate (or indeed if she wants to keep presents separate to reinforce their separate personalities).

The problem comes when your DC is only really freinds with one of them. We always have that, my DD1 is friends with a girl of a boy/girl combo, and it's accepted that she only gets a present for the girl at the joint party. But then DD2 went to a two boys party recently (although she's only in the same class as one), I wasn't thinking and only bought one present which was clearly a present for one person (Sponge Bob breakfast set). Now THAT was a lapse of etiquette I won't make again.

Oh dear, I do know how to spell frends, er frenns, sod it.

a present for each of them.

Thank you for the advice - I will go for a present for each of them

To be honest, having 2 boys myself, I do love shopping for girl presents
