Gifts for Lego Lovers: Perfect For Kids and Adults

Do you have a LEGO lover in your life? Sometimes finding the perfect set to give as a gift can be challenging. To help you choose, Sarah and Gretchen from the MoneySavingMom team have compiled a list of their favorite LEGO sets in a variety of themes.

As moms of LEGO lovers, they enjoy building both on their own and with their kids — and have plenty of favorites to recommend!

Even better, these sets are all under $30 to help you stick to your gift budget. (And be sure to follow along as we post the hottest LEGO deals throughout the season!)

Best Cute LEGO Gifts: LEGO Friends

My daughter has been playing with LEGO Friends sets for years. She loves interacting with the sets and rebuilding them with her own creative imagination. – Sarah

LEGO Friends Friendship Road-Trip Travel Car

This set includes a super cute road-trip car and trailer, plus a kayak for lots of imaginative adventures.

LEGO Friends Panda Sanctuary Animal Care Set

This LEGO Friends Panda Sanctuary Animal Care Set is perfect for someone who loves pandas! It includes a treehouse, ATV, 3 pandas, and 2 minidolls.

Star Wars LEGO Gifts

LEGO and Star Wars go together like Han Solo and Chewbacca. If your recipient loves both, they’re sure to enjoy these sets, and there are a variety of options that span ages and difficulty levels.

The Mandalorian and Grogu’s Speeder Bike

This little set is perfect for a stocking stuffer and includes both the Mandalorian and Grogu mini figure.

LEGO Star Wars Yoda Bust

This set is perfect for Star Wars fans because you can display the bust on your shelf or dresser once you are done building it. It’s so cute!

LEGO Creator

The LEGO Creator 3-in-1 sets are great because they help teach kids to look at new ways of assembling the pieces to create something entirely new! This can help develop their imagination and allow them to combine all sorts of sets to build anything they can think of. It’s also sort of like getting three sets for the price on one.

LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Retro Roller Skate Set

We love these LEGO Creator 3-in-1 sets, and this LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Retro Roller Skate Set is such a fun one! A perfect gift for any 80s kid, it lets you build a retro roller skate, boombox, or skateboard — all in fun, vibrant colors!

LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Typewriter with Flowers

I was gifted this LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Typewriter with Flowers a few years ago and love it! I built it and displayed it in my office next to my computer desk.

Best LEGO Gifts for Adults and Kids: Technic

LEGO Technic beams connect to make sturdier builds and can even work with gears to create simple engines. They help LEGO builders learn the basics of physics and engineering and they’re great for play because they’re sturdier than typical builds. Some are even pullback or work with a remote control!

LEGO Technic Bush Plane

This fun zebra-striped bush plane has a lever you can push to spin the pistons and propellor. Children who loves planes will particularly enjoy this set!

LEGO Technic Monster Jam Fire and Ice

Kids who love Monster Jam will love building and playing with this “fire and ice” monster truck. Once it’s built, they can recreate tricks from the arena and send it speeding by pulling it back to launch it forward.

LEGO Botanicals

This line of LEGO is perfect for teens (and adults!) who want to slow down and relax by building LEGO and then enjoy displaying it. The detail is amazing and they’re so pretty!

LEGO Botanicals Water Lilies

This LEGO Botanicals Water Lilies set was just released this year and makes such a beautiful addition to any LEGO Botanicals collection!

LEGO Botanicals Flowering Cactus

This LEGO Botanicals Flowering Cactus is so cute!

Best LEGO Gifts: City

LEGO City sets provide hours of play after they’re built and are especially fun to combine with other sets to make a realistic town. Whether your LEGO lover enjoys construction, vehicles, emergency services, or buildings, they’ll enjoy creating, imagining, and displaying these sets.

LEGO City Yellow Backhoe Loader

This construction set will delight any construction truck aficionado. And check out the fun Lego “boulders” that can break apart to reveal a gem inside!

LEGO City Fire Rescue Boat

This LEGO City Fire Rescue Boat Building Set is such a fun set for kids to play with once they are finished building it.

Harry Potter LEGO Gifts

There are so many cool LEGO sets for Harry Potter fans! They often include clever hidden details from the books and movies that are magical surprises for Potterheads to discover.

LEGO Harry Potter Flying Ford Anglia

This fun Harry Potter flying car comes with Harry, Ron, Scabbers, and Hedwig. 

LEGO Harry Potter Dobby the Free Elf

This sculpted Dobby the Free Elf (formerly Dobby the House Elf) can be displayed sitting, standing, or walking and would make such a fun addition to your bookshelf… right next to your Harry Potter books! He also can be rebuilt into a LEGO brick figure of Kreacher.

Best LEGO Gifts: Duplo

LEGO DUPLO bricks are perfect for young children, because these blocks are larger and don’t present as much of a choking hazard. They also help young children develop fine motor skills, while teaching them basic STEM concepts like pattern recognition, simple mathematics, and spatial awareness. Our kids loved DUPLO starting from about 18 months old and we enjoyed building with our kids before they were old enough for regular LEGO brick sets. 

LEGO DUPLO Classic Brick Box Building Set

This fun classic brick box comes with two DUPLO people, a car, a few flowers, and a whole lot of colorful bricks! It’s perfect for starting or expanding a DUPLO collection.

LEGO DUPLO 3-in-1 Construction Vehicles

Your young LEGO lover will be thrilled to play with this construction vehicle set where they can build 6 possible trucks out of 22 bricks.

Best LEGO Gifts: Speed Champions

LEGO Speed Champions sets are really fun for anyone who loves vehicles (cars, planes, motorcycles, etc).

LEGO Speed Champions Mercedes 2-Car Set

My teen son has built several of these and this set is probably his favorite.

LEGO Speed Champions BMW M3

This special edition 40th anniversary set is so fun and colorful! It’s perfect for any BMW fan or model car lover.

LEGO Gifts for Christmas

LEGO Advent Calendars

You can’t go wrong with LEGO Advent Calendars! This is something fun you can do each night in December leading up to Christmas. Each day comes with a mini build to put together. We recommend giving it as an early Christmas gift so they can use it throughout the season. Choose from a few different varieties!

LEGO Christmas Table Decoration

This table decoration set is so pretty and makes a fun addition to your holiday decor!

Stocking Stuffers for LEGO Lovers:

Free LEGO Life Magazine

This is such a fun (and FREE!) stocking stuffer for kids ages 5-9. And it’s so much fun for kids to get their own mail throughout the year! This magazine comes four times per year. If the first issue doesn’t arrive in time for Christmas, just print off a photo of the magazine cover to roll up and stick it in the stocking!

LEGO Mini-Figure

This is a great surprise stocking stuffer because you don’t know which character you’ll get. There are tons to choose from, but this Disney series is especially unique and fun!

Gifts for LEGO Lovers that Aren’t LEGO:

LEGO Mini-Figure Wallet

This LEGO themed wallet would be a fun gift so they can save up to pick out their own LEGO set!

LEGO Store Gift Card

Maybe all these options are overwhelming and you just aren’t sure what to get your LEGO lover. Gift them a LEGO gift card! They’ll love picking out their own set either in a LEGO Store or online! If they live near a LEGO Store, we suggest a $10 or $20 gift card and the idea to fill a box with unique pieces at the Pick-a-Brick wall.

Gifts for LEGO Lovers that are Over $30:

Have a little extra wiggle room in your Christmas budget and willing to spend a bit more? Try one of these bonus recommendations — these are great LEGO gifts for adults too!

LEGO Wall-E and EVE

How cute is this new Wall-E and EVE set?! Wall-E reminds me of when my boys were little and I would love to build it with them!

LEGO Architecture Sets

These LEGO architecture sets are classic and fun for adults to assemble and display! They can be purchased to remember a trip or maybe as a goal for a place to visit one day. Either way your LEGO fan will love putting together these models. The skylines like this London one are the more affordable options.

LEGO Technic NASA Mars Rover Perseverance

For any lover of space and NASA, this scale model of the Mars Perseverance Rover will be sure to delight!

LEGO Ideas Insect Collection

Nature Sets like this Insect Collection are absolutely gorgeous and so much fun for a seasoned builder! You might also check out the Kingfisher Bird.
