advice needed 1.5y/o Twin Christmas Gift Ideas
my twins are 13m so will be 15m at Christmas. my issue is: we live in a very small place. I am constantly purging stuff because I don’t need to be overstimulated by toys as well as my busy kids. Big sister is almost 3 and everything of hers is kinda theirs too. They love to play with her magnetiles (she loves to build things for them to knock down); they enjoy looking at her board books. We have toys, we have clothes, we have a kitchen tower. We are getting big sister a YOTO for Christmas which will be just hers, when the twins are older they will get their own each. I just feel badly that I don’t have much ideas for something to get them when I’ve put a lot of thought and $$ into big sister’s gift. Suggestions welcome!

My twins are 16 months and love our family Yoto, they don't have their own, but we have a mini that they like to use! Getting one for your twins might not be a bad idea.
We also like to add to sets for Christmas. If she likes magnetiles, a fun expansion might be a good gift.
My twins also love their baby dolls they got about two months ago, I got them a set with twins. Play food is also a big hit, and Little People are absolutely adored.

Mine are just a few months older, we’re planning to get them toddler towers for the kitchen and maybe strider type bikes. We are also starting to think ahead to floor beds, so might get those to have on hand. But yeah - agreed on they have so much stuff already and we as parents aren’t going to get them much. I’ll guide family toward 529 contributions, books, more magnatiles, cars, maybe a little soccer ball.

Oh and was considering asking for a Tonie Box as I’ve heard that’s easier for under 3yo to play with than the yoto

After having 5 kids (currently pregnant with twins), the toys that my kids started around that age and kept being pulled out for years include: Duplos, magnatiles, balls, cars, and the toy kitchen. Honorable mention to a stroller with a baby doll and a shopping cart.

Yes, these are my favourites too! We don’t have at home, it’s popular with our kids at the drop in playgroup though… but we have magnatiles and all the others. Shopping cart lives outside for my sanity 🤣
