Birthday present ideas for a 5 year old boy

[LionsandBears]

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 ??? ;-)
