Birthdays for Christmas twins

Big W (a store similar to Target or Fred Meyers) had a mondo toy sale today, so we stopped by before work and bought some things in preparation for upcoming birthdays, and Christmas.

I realized that not only will our twin sons have the problem of people trying to give them "joint" "Christmas + birthday" gifts -- they were born a few days after Christmas -- but they'll **also** be in danger of folks trying to give them "shared" presents (i.e. one gift across the two of them).

And especially -- shared, joint gifts: "Here's your Christmas, birthday, B1, B2 gift. Enjoy!"


As parents, we'll have to be careful that we don't fall in to that trap.


On the other hand: there's a small possibility that they'll manage to score some larger gifts, rather than many bite-sized gifts. Something that they'd be unlikely to be using at exactly the same time. Like, um... a multi-gym?

Not that it's all about the presents.
