1. A wildflower bouquet that lasts far beyond a few days and never develops an unpleasant smell. These beautiful flowers can be displayed in a vase, serving as a lasting reminder to others that ~yours~ was the best gift.
Promising review: "This set has to be the most beautiful botanical set to date! The colors are vibrant and rich. The plant designs are intricate and quite accurate in replicating various types of flora. This set can be built in less than an hour and comes with clear, easy-to-follow instructions. The booklet also includes interesting facts about the designer, the plants, and the parts used in the set's creation. Speaking of the parts, like most botanical sets, this one features plenty of Creative Parts Usage (CPU). There are several historical tidbits scattered throughout the instructions highlighting this CPU. It’s a fun and rewarding set, and surprisingly, it's priced similarly to a bouquet of fresh flowers. The only downside is the repetition in some of the steps, but that's expected when assembling such a beautifully detailed set! For timeless flowers that never fade, give this set a try!" —Baron von Brickster

This set offers tons of creative play and really sparks imagination. Once assembled, they love displaying it. Ultimately, this has made my child so happy, and that’s what really matters.

With 2,646 pieces, it’s a challenging build that makes a stunning display piece once completed.
Promising review: "This is hands down one of the most impressive, intricate sets I’ve ever purchased. The interior of the console and TV are filled with colorful pieces that bring some flair to the build. The details are amazing, including all the cable slots, switches, and dials. I love that you can actually insert the game into the console. It would have been great if there were an additional cable connecting the TV and console. There are only three large stickers, and all the small pieces are printed. No repetitive parts. The crank works seamlessly, and the Mario figure moves effortlessly. Overall, this set is a must-have for Lego or Mario fans." —PhillyCharizard006

Bonus! They can also enjoy a game of checkers.
Promising review: "I love the endless replay value of this Lego set. The build was easy to follow, and we had a blast customizing the chess pieces to make them smaller and more maneuverable (while still maintaining the lovely details, like the knight’s horse ears and the clever design of the bishop). The set offers amazing value for the amount of pieces. We've played numerous games, and everything holds up great. The storage feature is also really well thought out. As avid Lego and chess fans, we’re beyond happy with this set." —jordyb

9. A versatile 3-in-1 animal set where they can create a rabbit with a carrot, a poseable seal and fish, or a cockatoo with a rotating head. With three different ways to play, this set is the gift that keeps on giving!
Promising review: "This 3-in-1 Lego Creator set is a fantastic toy for children 8 years and older who enjoy crafting with their hands. My son, who loves building, found this to be the perfect gift. He spent hours constructing the white rabbit with movable legs and head, then dismantled it to create the parrot and seal. He also really enjoyed using the Lego Builder app, which allowed him to view the 3D designs of each pet and helped him during the building process. It was great to integrate technology like a computer, tablet, or smartphone with physical block building. Legos have truly come a long way since my childhood, and I'm amazed at how they continue to inspire creativity in kids of all generations." —Dshugar625

It has plenty of room inside, fitting his school supplies, winter coat, and even his lunch bag. Highly recommend." —Jazzy Joce

Promising review: "I was beyond impressed with this build. I typically stick to Marvel and Star Wars sets, but I couldn't resist this one. I’ve always wanted a Lego Gundam line or something similar, but the options in this category have historically been lacking. Exo Force was a start, but it still felt small. THEN CAME THIS! The build was enjoyable, the size was perfect, and the articulation is particularly impressive. You can pose this Mech in so many ways and it balances perfectly. The designer behind this should create a whole line of these sets. It's an incredible feat. This is now one of my favorite Lego sets of all time." —ChiefCaptivatingPheasant

He loves all the different ways he can play with it, and we love that he’s not glued to a screen. His fine-motor skills and dexterity have improved, and he enjoys creating various scenarios through role play. We're very pleased with the pieces included and the versatility of the train’s features, both with or without the app!" —Master-Builder
