You own average avenger knows a thing or two about dual identities: scholar by day, sibling tormentor by night. There's no doubt that guests to their superhero party will enjoy taking home the escapades of Elliot Jones, Midnight Superhero, who struggles with saving the world from an approaching meteor.

The Super Diaper Baby and Captain Underpants series has been super-successful for reasons that may not be obvious to parents, but clear to kids. Take one diaper-clad baby with superpowers, send him on a mission to save Captain Underpants and let the hilarity ensue. All you really need to know? The quest to fill your loot bag is over.

Cold feet? We've all had them, which makes the gift of these licensed character superhero slippers a perfect fit for your superhero party. The Bargains Group requires a minimum purchase to access the incredible deals found in-store, but it's worth the (small) investment to send the kids home with something that'll keep their toes toasty, all year long.

The expression ‘fake it ‘til you make it' applies perfectly to power-hungry global protectors out to avenge the ‘bad guys'. These superhero cuffs created with bat appliqués and Velcro enclosures for easy on and off will add that extra accessory to your guests' usual costumed capers involving the forces of good and evil.

It's a splurge, but a coloured, lycra bodysuit would cost more. For a loot bag or birthday gift, a satin cape with lightning insignia and Velcro neck enclosure will send them soaring home with delight. (Rest assured no jet packs were used in the making of these capes.)

Feel like tearing a strip off of someone? Marvel has you covered with their online comic strip-making program that is perfect for personalizing loot bags, adding to your party décor, or making place settings. Add in the character, type in some text and Bam! Kaboom! Shazam! Wow! You've created your own customized comic strips for your superhero guests.

Toys that expose children to a wide variety of visual stimuli actually aid in their learning and development. The Laugh & Learn™ Dance & Play Puppy encourages your baby to move, dance and sing along through familiar songs. With over 25 songs and phrases, your baby will learn about ABCs and letters, counting and numbers, parts of the body, actions, manners, greetings and first words. Puppy can clap, wiggle his body side to side and raise his ears. Read more about milestones and enter to win the Fisher Price Birthday Gift of the Month.
