10 Best Gifts for LEGO Lovers
Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 5:00AM
A Christmas gift of LEGO bricks is guaranteed to be a hit.
Over my years of parenting a LEGO lover I've discovered several products that make great gifts.
Hopefully this can be a guide as you shop for your favorite LEGO lover!
Stick around until the end, because I have a GREAT giveaway for you!

1. LEGO Organizers
My son loves his LEGO bricks. For my own sanity I've had to convince him that organizing your bricks can be FUN!
Several storage systems are available. I'll list my three favorites here:
- 6 Case Workstation and Storage Organizer
- 3 Drawer Sorting System OR LEGO Friends 3 Drawer Sorting System
- Minifig Storage Case (this is great for in the car or anywhere on the go!)
- LEGO 4 piece Toy Organizer Tote
2. LEGO Architecture Sets
Learning with LEGO Architecture is wonderful! Any of these sets will keep your LEGO lover learning and challenged for quite some time!
3. LEGO Books
My son learned to read with the leveled reader books, many of them with LEGO themes. He also enjoys the character encyclopedias and other big books. I've listed a few of our favorites here:
4. The LEGO Calendar
This is the greatest gift ever! Last year my son would build this calendar the minute he got out of bed on the first day of each month. Awesome!
5. Anything LEGO® Education
I have written many reviews on different LEGO® Education products. I believe anything from LEGO® Education is a wonderful investment in your child's education. Please visit my LEGO Learning page to learn more.
6. LEGO Candy Blocks
These are a great stocking stuffer! I also use them to do LEGO candy math during our homeschool, and also has "motivation" during the day.
They even stack just like the plastic bricks!
7. LEGO Movies
My son LOVES many of the LEGO movies. I like them because they are short and entertaining. There are many, but these are the ones we have watched and are our favorites:
- The Adventures of Clutch Powers
- Jericho: The Promise Fulfilled
- LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out
8. Time Telling and Watches
My son has one of the watches and he went through a period where it was never off of his wrist. I've also seen some new (to me) time telling products, which look great for the younger set!
- Time Telling Set for Boys --- Time Telling Set for Girls
- LEGO Kids Classic Minifigure Link Watch
- LEGO Friends Watch
9. PLEYGO Subscription
Pleygo is a new service. It's like the Netflix of LEGO.
We are happily trying out a membership and it's working great. Grant has 10 sets in his queue. One set is mailed to him - he plays with it until he is done, then mails the set back and another is sent.
It's a brilliant idea, really. You can try it out for free if you don't want to take my word for it.
This would be a GREAT Christmas gift for your LEGO lover!
10. LEGO Shoes
Yes, LEGO Shoes! My son had some LEGO tennis shoes that were literally worn OUT.
- LEGO Crocs (oh, how I wish I had a little one to fit into these!)
- LEGO Rain Boots (seriously cute!)
There you have it - my 10 favorite gifts for LEGO lovers.
Maybe I've just simpliifed Christmas for you? A little?

My sons' favorite set is the Lego police station.
Legos are our go to toy! I have 4 kids and they all love to build and create. Legos let their imagination soar! I hope they never out grow them.
My kids have really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit sets!
All of my kids asked for Lego's for Christmas this year!
The bat jet
My son's favorite set is the batcave.
My kids love their Lego sets but I think their favorite so far has the been their Lego City sets because they are so versatile. I actually asked them which was their favorite but they said all of them :)
My son's favorite Lego memory is the year we were living in the Philippines. My mom loaded up an entire suitcase of Lego sets the family had purchased him for his birthday, primarily Star Wars, and surprised him by flying in to celebrate his birthday with us in Manila. They spent hours putting sets together while she was there. It was one of his best birthdays ever. :-)
Master Academy Legos
My son loves playing with Lego. We also agree that the City sets are the best because they are so versatile, and we don't get into the licensed characters as much. He also just recently got very interested in the new Chima line. I have to admit that those little animals are super cute. I get pulled in to, and so is Daddy. It's a family affair around here! Pleygo would be amazing.
Legos have been the most popular toy in our house for years.
Favorite LEGO gift he has ever gotten: LEGO Space Police set with the skull twins
My daughter's favorite so far was probably Olivia's House. At least, that's for regular sets. She also has some LEGO Education sets, like the Simple & Motorized Mechanisms set and the LEGO WeDo Robotics set. She loves loves loves those! She wants to build Olivia's House again sometime and try to add robotics/machinery to make people move on their own, the swingset really swing, etc. We just love LEGOs around here! The Pleygo subscription sounds like a really neat idea, to the point where I'm wondering why nobody marketed such an idea before!
Wow. That sounds really cool. Just told my 14 year old daughter, and her eyes got as big as saucers. lol
My brothers have passed on all of their Lego from their childhood on to my boys - my boys favorite Lego gift!! :) There is SO much!
My son loves his airplane Lego set and my girls are thrilled to now have girl Lego sets to play with.

I 2 to lego addicts in my house this is a great list.
My kids' favorite Lego gifts are when dad comes home with 3 mystery packs of minifigs....one for each kid. They actually enjoy playing with all their Lego toys equally, but there is just something special knowing that dad was thinking about them during the middle of his day and decides to surprise them.
My son loves the Lego Creator set he received! thanks for all the great gift ideas!
My older son loved his Mindstorms set he got years ago. My younger son's favorite is the Gold Mine set. However, they have played tirelessly through the years with them all.
Star Wars Set
