This little cape was sent to my sweet little niece. A super big sister with a big heart and a infectious smile. I just love that girl! Normally, I send a gift card to my nieces and nephews, but I wanted to do a little more for her this year. If you don’t have time to make a super cape you can definitely order one. I’ll share both options!

Personalize the Super Cape
Other Items to Include for a Super Cape Birthday Gift
I also enclosed a few “necessities” for any super girl.
Silly string (it had a fun super/spy aspect), lip gloss, and some sour gummy candies. Nothing extravagant and I hardly spent a thing. Other ideas of things to include might be a matching mask, sunglasses, or tiara.

Don’t Have Time to Make a Super Cape? No Problem!
Here are a couple of fun options from Amazon. First up! A double sided 2-colored cape with mask. You can even stock up and buy a 6-pack of super hero capes (not personalized, but with super emblems already on them) and use them for birthday gifts all year long! And last, but not least, a cute pink lightning cape for a little girl that comes with a mask.
