So, I met this amazing girl about 6 months ago and she's my very good friend now. Erm, she has a twin sister that I'm pretty good friends with but still not as good as a friend then her sister. Sooo I was wondering, at their birthday [Sweet 16], should I get only my really good friend a present or should I get her twin sister one too? I have never had twin friends so I don't know if I just get one of them one or both or if I get them totally different or similar things or a more "better" gift for my really good friends and a lesser one for her twin sister. AHHH what do I do with the presents??????

It's customary to do so. I don't think you should get them the same gift. I also think I'd get my better friend a better gift...however...don't make it like soo much better that the other feels bad. Basically, get them both a gift of pretty much the same value, but your better friend's gift will be a bit more personal.

(same amount though!)

Instead, talk to their mother about what kind of gifts they would appreciate and if they're really excited about the prospect of someone buying them certain things as a present.
If you cannot talk to their mother than all you need to do is talk to each twin about their sibling's likes, dislikes, interests and what they think you should get their sister. That's the best way to buy a great gift for each of them.
Make sure the gifts are of equal value so neither feels short-changed or insignificant or valued more so than the other. If all else fails gift-cards to their favorite stores (ask each twin about what they like at the mall) will suffice. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
