The Best LEGO Gifts for Holiday 2021 – Review Geek

Gingerbread houses are a winter-time favorite, but maybe you want something that won’t spoil after a few weeks. LEGO’s take on this tradition keeps all the charm of the real thing in a brick-built manner. It’s colorful, fully furnished, and even lights up to get you in the holiday mood. Throw in a couple of gingerbread people and other smaller decorations, and this build will look great on a shelf year-round.

Minifigures are a staple of LEGO sets, and this seven-inch wooden version is a great decoration piece for any LEGO fan. It’s paintable, can hold LEGO builds, and all-around looks excellent. Whether you customize it with bricks and paint or leave it as is, this is a tasteful decoration that still makes its LEGO-ness apparent without being too obvious.

The 3-in-1 sets are always a great value, but this space-themed set also brings some great play potential in each form. Whether you create the posable mech and alien combo, the small robot, or the two-legged walker, there’s plenty of options for both display and play. This LEGO set leaves plenty of room for creative, inspired builds, while also providing a thoroughly fun by-the-book build for those who prefer it.

For adult fans of LEGO, the brand occasionally steps into full-on model territory, and this Discovery build is a great example. The outsides are smoother than most LEGO builds while still keeping the brick-built charm, it has a display stand, and there are minimal play features here. Space enthusiasts will be delighted by the accuracy, alongside the Hubble Space Telescope model also included in the set. It’s pricey, but it takes a lot of pieces to get something looking this good. And besides, sometimes a lengthy build is just good for the soul.

The Dark Knight trilogy gave us an interesting version of the Batmobile, and now it can be forever memorialized in brick form. This set manages to balance display and play excellently, thanks to the Batman and Scarecrow minifigs, various gadgets, and there’s even an alternative head for Batman to enhance play scenarios. But despite this and the midrange price, the build itself still looks fairly film accurate and is sure to be loved by any adults fans as well.

For a smaller gift this year, this key chain shows off the classic LEGO charm and allows for a lot of customization accordingly. Ultimately, it’s just a round LEGO base that any bricks can be attached to, but it comes with a small collection to help you get started. You can turn this into anything you want granted you can make it work within the space, which perfectly captures the core of LEGO.

These aren’t your typical gel pens—well, functionally they are but they have some LEGO studs near the top for personalization. Whether you’re using the few bricks included out of the box or ones from your own collection, this is a great way for frequent writers to get a pen that speaks to them. And while the stud space is limited, there’s still a lot that can be done here if you think outside the box.

Available in a variety of colors and coming with small collections of custom-printed LEGO bricks for decorating, these bracelets are a great gift for younger superfans (and those young at heart). You can attach your own bricks for some added variety and create something wholly unique to slap on your wrist. Two are included with a set as well, and each is a different color for some more options.

The Monster Bracelets are available in Ice Cream, Adventure, Monster, Starlight, and Mermaid-themed colors.
