Gift for adopting parents

[ErinExpat]

Hi! My SIL is adopting twin 18 month-old boys.

All of the basics are taken care of.

Any ideas for a thoughtful gift? They are expatriates living in the Middle East.

TIA!

Books are always good.

If you get a toy (unless it's a large one), get two - one for each boy.

I second books, and my boys go crazy over beach balls and a bubble blower gun.

ErinExpat my boys loved these at that age:

Baby Einstein take along music.  Its less than $10 at Target.


And these Hape cars:



And these Hape bikes






Congrats to your SIL! Out of curiosity and you obviously don't have to answer, but where does she live and where is she adopting from?  I was an expat in the Middle East years ago

Lets see if this works now.  I couldn't get the pic of the Hape bike to show up in my post above.

Thank you! They live in the UAE and are adopting from Ethiopia.

They moved there right after we left, lol.
