My best friend is having twins and I am over the moon. We aren't in the greatest financial situation so I want to start buying cute stuff now so I have a nice big gift for her baby shower. What gifts are best for twins and does anyone recommend some Perth stores or good Aus websites? Thanks.

I only had one baby but the things i wish i had was a cleaner, massage for constantly aching back and shoulders and feet, and the expensive costs were nappies and formula, so i imagine with twins it would still be all of those those things but even worse!
a breastfeeding pillow!!! she will need it! maybe one or two premmi clothes premmi beenie, might not need them fingers crossed but if she does will be handy, a twin carrier and a single carrier. (single one to keep in the pram if one of the bubs starts cracking it in the pram, we had a cheap on from kmart for this one. and a more expensive wone that wasbexpesially for twins.
Save up for a mothers helper so when her partner goes back to work she has an extra pair of hands! Or even things like having meals delivered or something. Trying to cook when you have one new baby is hard enough.
I'm a mum of twins and things like powders, baby lotions, baby wipes, nappy bags I found very useful & saved me lots of money from receiving useful items at the baby shower because always using double of everything. a nice personal gift can be items like baby record book, birth certificate holder, my first curl/tooth box.a gift for mum would be a spa pedicure voucher, the dreaded thing was trying to paint my own toes to bend down with a massive twin belly lol so something like that would be relaxing for her & nothing better then having a foot massage to relieve any extra fluids from twin pregnancy .
Another idea could be a newborn /family shoot so a local photographer voucher so once the twins are born she can get some cute twin shots done I wish that I would have spent that money on a professional photographer after my bub's were born. There's so many beautiful photographers out there now that arnt to expensive that capture adorable newborn photos
Have fun shopping for your bestie & Goodluck to her and her twin bubbies
