Birthday present ideas for a 5 year old boy

[LuluHB]

DD1 is going to her first 'boy' party on Sunday and I have absolutely no idea what little boys like. Normally for the girls I get something like a jigsaw, book or similar with some play jewellery. I'm guessing little boys won't like a fairy necklace

Any ideas ladies? Thanks.

Jigsaws, books - pirates, dinosaurs, cars
Lego, paints, craft stuff?

DS is 5 turning 6 and he likes the following things:

Lego, Puzzles (spiderman, ben 10, dinosaurs etc), Avengers, Power Rangers, Dinosaurs.

He loves books especially ones on things like dinosaurs and bugs.

transformers, power rangers, lego ninjago, hot wheels cars.

A superhero cape or costume. Lightsaber. Magic tricks. Pirate stuff.

Boys like jigsaws and books too! My 5yo DS is really into his lego and superheroes. Don't go with the lightsabre - I'm sick of being hit with my DS's. Cars are also a good bet.

DD went to a 5yr old boy party last week and we bought him hot wheels cars and a dinosaur puzzle.
Other things he got were bubble wand, dinosaur stickers, superman costume, transformer, lego, plastic bugs, ben 10 figurine, ben 10 activity books. Um that's all I can remember!

Thanks everyone - great suggestions. Except for a few of those things my pink people would love most of that stuff too. So boys aren't from a different planet after all ??? ;-)
