For the right gift recipient, there’s nothing that conveys your love and affection better than a brand-new, appropriately themed Lego set. Denmark’s most famous toy company gives people of all ages a hobby that can last a lifetime, and every model kit makes a great toy or decoration. For lifelong Lego fans, these bricks represent the canvas of the human imagination—and they make a great gift for any occasion. When it comes to a holiday like Valentine’s Day, you have a number of great options tailor-made for the season of romance and renewal.
Here are some of the best Lego gifts to build with your sweetheart this V-Day.
1. You can’t go wrong with these lovely Lego roses
That magical someone in your life may not be a Lego minifig, but they’re beautiful in spite of that. And they still deserve the very best gift you can give them this Valentine’s Day: a bouquet of roses from the Lego Icons Botanical Collection. If you’re shopping for the love of your life, don’t settle for less than this 822-piece bouquet, featuring three stages of flowering and long plastic stems for easy display with your partner’s favorite vase.
2. A bouquet of flowers—Lego flowers
This Lego flower bouquet is sure to be a hit with your significant other: it’s colorful, it’s got 756 pieces, and it’ll make a great display piece for your office or living room. “Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to pick out a set, sit down with your significant other, and put together flowers that won’t ever wilt,” says electronics editor Jonathan Hilburg, who’s a big fan of the set. The kit includes 15 stems and a number of different flower varieties. Some of them measure more than a foot in length.
3. It was called the ship of dreams
How do you make your significant other feel extra special on Valentine’s Day? Well, if they love Star Wars and The Mandalorian, you get them the starship of their dreams: Mando’s beloved Razor Crest. The Ultimate Collector’s Series edition of the ship is made up of 6,186 pieces and measures more than 28 inches in length. It also comes with minifigures of Din Djarin (the Mandalorian himself), Grogu, the Mythrol, and Kuiil.
4. Pink frogs, cherry blossoms, and a very fine tree
Reviewed senior writer Madison Durham is a huge fan of this Lego Bonsai Tree kit, which she says “is not only beautiful; it’s also extremely fun to build.” The central bonsai tree sits in a square pot, which is then built atop a slatted wooden stand for added distinction. It also comes with a bunch of pink flowers and single-piece pink frogs, which Durham says are the big selling point here. The set is about seven inches tall and includes 878 pieces, so it’s not too strenuous a build, but it’ll look great on your Valentine’s desk or bookshelf for years to come.
5. Give the gift of these colorful lovebirds
Of course, some of the easiest Lego-related shopping decisions you can make this Valentine’s Day include things like the Valentine Lovebirds building kit—among a number of holiday-appropriate items you can find at your favorite online retailers. If you’re planning a Lego-building date with your significant other this February, you really can’t go wrong with this adorable pair of avian soulmates. The little Lego hearts are an especially cute touch; it’ll look great alongside any other V-Day decor you might already have out.
6. Give them your heart (in 254 pieces)
If you’re one of the growing number of folks who enjoy turning your Christmas tree into a Valentine’s Day or other holiday-themed tree as the months go by, this Lego Heart Valentine’s Day ornament is a must. It makes a gorgeous decorative touch—on the door where you’d normally hang a wreath, on the knob of a cabinet, or wherever else you might like to hang it. And because it’s only made up of 254 pieces, it makes an ideal Lego gift for little ones, as well.
