Shopping for baby shower gifts is always fun, but shopping for multiples can be twice (or three- or four-times) the fun! No need to settle for matching pajamas when there are so many unique options available.

If diaper cakes are your style, Twin and Triplet Gifts offers a special diaper cake just for triplets. Twin Gifts & Invitations also has a number of diaper cakes for multiples.

Baby showers aren't just for mothers-to-be anymore – special gifts for other family members can be a nice touch as well. In addition to special gifts for the babies, Just Multiples has distinctive baby shower gifts for the father-to-be, the older brother or sister, and grandparents. Twin and Triplet Gifts even offers a tee for the family pooch.

A new baby means a new role in life, not to mention a new name, for the grandparents. It's common for new grandparents to get baby gifts when a new grandchild is born, especially when it's a first grandchild. New grandparents who will take an especially active role in the baby's life as full- or part-time care providers are sometimes even given their own baby shower to help get their home accommodated for the grandchild. Whether the new Grands are nearby or faraway, there are plenty of terrific baby gift ideas for new grandparents.

Keepsakes

Pink Taffy Designs offers a selection of baby gift ideas, including fashionable charm necklaces that can be customized with the grandchild's name, as well as the grandmother's new title. Grandmother bracelets from Just for You Jewelry feature birthstones for each grandchild--a nice choice for a veteran grandmother to celebrate the new addition. For new grandfathers, the Grandpa Wooden Pocket Watch from BestBabyShower.com is inscribed with a special grandfather's message and comes with a 15-inch chain.
