Dads of multiples certainly deserve applause for pulling double (or triple!) duty. When it comes time for gift-giving -- birthday, Father's Day or other holiday -- consider a present that acknowledges his extra efforts on the family front.
1. Digital Camcorder
A digital camcorder lets Dad capture and permanently preserve precious family moments. This is not your father's video camera, but rather a miniature powerhouse that produces a stunning picture in both still and video formats. This spiffy model makes it easy to capture footage and then upload it to a computer for quick sharing via email or websites.
2. Double Frame
Dad's got to display his darling duo. Let him do it in style with this elegant double frame. To make the gift really special, fill the frame with new, never-before-seen pictures of his fantastic family.3. Books
No book can teach a man how to be a great father, but there are several terrific tomes that offer support and insight into his important role within the family. Here are some recommendations especially for dads of twins, triplets or other multiples.4. Bike Trailer
The family that plays together, stays together! Hit the trail with a double-duty bike trailer that converts to a stroller. The Burley d'Lite is made for multiples, with seats (and safety harnesses) for two children with a combined weight of up to 100 pounds.5. Stepping Stone Kit
No yard or garden should be without one -- or two. Gather the kids together and create a customized memory stone. It's simple to do, regardless of your multiples' age, and the end result will be a cherished reminder of a special event. Preserve hand- or footprints, create a mosaic with shells or beads, or just draw a special message for Dad.6. Coffee Maker
Dads of multiples can be extremely sleep deprived at times. Nothing chases away the yawns like a great cup of coffee. Don't run out to Starbucks -- make it at home with a Cuisinart Grind and Brew.7. Backpack Carrier
An excellent way to get some quality one-on-one time, a backpack carrier frees up dad's hands while exploring. Kelty's models are tough enough for serious hiking but comfortable enough for daily use. Most can carry kids up to 45 pounds without making Dad feel he has the weight of the world on his shoulders.
