🌿 For People Who'd Rather Have a Plant
For people who'd rather receive a plant, flowers or something inspired by nature than a traditional LEGO set. These are easy entry points into LEGO because the finished builds work as home décor as much as they do as building projects. #ad | Affiliat...
These are such a fun alternative to the usual flowers and houseplants. 🍄 I love the woodland feel, especially if you want your LEGO display to be a little more unusual.

I love the autumn colours on this one. 🍁 It's a great LEGO botanical choice if you prefer trees and foliage to traditional flowers, and I think it would look brilliant on a bookshelf or desk.
Japanese Red Maple Bonsai Tree 10348 | Botanicals
I love that this one gives you a completely different way to display LEGO plants. 🌿 The trailing leaves would look great hanging from a shelf or high cupboard where a normal plant might be awkward.

🐾 For Animal Lovers
For someone who loves animals but wouldn't normally put LEGO on their wishlist. I've picked characterful animal builds that work as gifts in their own right, with the LEGO connection almost becoming the surprise. #ad | Affiliate link | I may earn a c...
I think the hamster is the cutest option! The little flower detail makes it even sweeter, and this would be a lovely choice for anyone who likes their LEGO animals on the adorable rather than terrifying side.
Cute Hamster with a Flower 31376 | Creator 3-in-1
The cat is cute, but the pigeon makes me laugh! 😺 I love sets with unexpected little details like this because they give you something else to discover after you've finished the main build.
Playful Cat
Can I build it? Yes Tou-can! 😂 The bright colours make this a great pick if you want to add a bit of tropical personality to your LEGO animal collection.
3in1 Wild Animals: Tropical Toucan (31173)
Every home zoo needs one completely impractical magical animal. 🦄 I love the idea of sneaking a unicorn in alongside the horses and pretending it is perfectly normal.
Magical Unicorn 31140 | Creator 3-in-1
A pink flamingo was always going to stand out! 😂 I'd use this one to add a splash of colour among the more traditional wildlife builds.
LEGO Creator 3in1 Wild Animals: Pink Flamingo Set 31170
📷 For People Who Love Cameras, Design & Retro Objects

I love the retro look of this little camera. 📷 It's one I'd pick for anyone who likes LEGO builds with a display piece at the end, especially if you prefer something a bit different from the usual vehicles and animals.
Retro Camera 31147 | Creator 3-in-1 | Buy online at the Official LEGO ...
People often mistake this for a real camera on my shelf, then do a double-take when they realise it's actually LEGO! I love the detailed retro design, making it a fun display build for photographers, LEGO fans or anyone who remembers Polaroid cameras...

🚗 For Car & Vehicle Fans
For someone who'd normally choose a car model, motorcycle or other vehicle over a LEGO set. Technic and detailed vehicle builds give them something familiar to connect with while introducing the building side of LEGO. #ad | Affiliate link | I may ear...
The LEGO Technic Custom Garage Ford Mustang GT is a fun choice if you like the idea of building and modifying cars rather than sticking with a standard showroom model. I like the working steering, adjustable suspension and opening hood, with the inte...

The LEGO Technic Mitsubishi Eclipse brings Brian O'Conner's street racer from the first Fast & Furious film to life with some fun movie-specific details. I like the working steering, moving engine pistons, opening doors and trunk, plus the two NO...

The LEGO Technic Ford Bronco is a good pick if you prefer rugged off-road vehicles to supercars. I like the working steering, suspension and front axle, along with the opening doors and hood, because the 943-piece build gives you plenty of mechanical...

The LEGO Technic Kawasaki Ninja H2R is a great motorcycle build if you want something with proper mechanical detail without taking on one of the huge Technic sets. I like the 1:8 scale design, working steering and suspension, 2-speed gearbox and arti...

The LEGO Technic Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is a great smaller-scale hypercar build, especially if you like unusual engineering details. I particularly like the working V8 and differential, plus the clever dihedral synchro-helix doors that open like th...

🏙️ For Travellers & Architecture Lovers
For people who love cities, travel, famous buildings and architectural design. LEGO Architecture is an easy recommendation for someone who wouldn't normally consider themselves a LEGO fan because the finished model feels more like a miniature piece o...
Paris in LEGO form is seriously impressive 🇫🇷✨ I love how this one combines the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and Notre-Dame into a single framed cityscape. The Eiffel Tower rising beyond the frame gives it such a striking finish for a Paris or tra...
Paris – City of Love 21064 | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop US
One of my favourite things about this skyline is how many San Francisco landmarks are packed into one build, including the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. A great choice for anyone with a soft spot for the city or LEGO Architecture.
LEGO Architecture Skyline Collection 21043 San Francisco Building Kit Includes Alcatraz Model, Golden Gate Bridge and Other San Francisco Architectural Landmarks (565 Pieces)
The Guggenheim is such a satisfying LEGO Architecture build because of its unusual curved design. I like this one for anyone who enjoys seeing a recognisable building take shape piece by piece, with a finished model that looks completely different fr...

I could never get past the levels in this, too hard for me! But this one is just right, and I get to say I ‘built’ an arcade machine.
Donkey Kong™ Arcade 72051 | LEGO® Super Mario
This one really pulls at the nostalgia! I remember the original Game Boy and Tetris, so seeing it recreated in LEGO is a lovely trip back to classic gaming. A great display build for anyone who grew up with one.
