Christmas is just around the corner. That’s insane, right? I’m still looking for gifts for Mr. Family Brick. So if you’re like me and still struggling to pick up a gift for your favorite AFOL, here are 7 inexpensive LEGO gifts for adults. (FYI – there are affiliate links below. As always, no additional cost to you and supportive of us):
1. Baseplates
Every LEGO builder needs a good base to start with. LEGO Baseplates are few and far between. This is why they make great LEGO gifts for adults. They’re that thing you can never have enough of. So if you want to help our your friendly neighborhood AFOL, you should consider picking up a few baseplates for them. Based on the size, you can get a baseplate from $7.99 – $14.99. Pick them up here:
2. Storage Containers
Here is something fun for the home or office. These LEGO storage bricks are available on Shop@Home or Amazon. Great to hold a ton of things, they’re stackable, too! Just make sure you’re getting the storage bricks that say “stackable” and not the LEGO Brick Lunch Boxes. Otherwise you’ll be sorely disappointed.
For the specific ones I featured above, you can use the links below:
- Single Drawer LEGO Storage Brick on Amazon – These come in blue, black, grey, red and white, and in a 4-stud or 8-stud brick size.
- 4-Piece LEGO Storage Brick Pack on Amazon
- 2-Drawer LEGO Storage Brick on Amazon
However, don’t go to no crazy buying them hoping your LEGO lover will start using them as storage for their LEGO bricks. You’ll want to get them something see thru for that type of organization:
These storage units made by Akro Mils are more expensive than the LEGO storage bricks above, but they make more sense for those people who need to see what they have available at a glance. You can pick up these Akro Mills Storage Containers on Amazon.
3. Minifigures
If you know a LEGO lover, they probably have a town. If they have a town, they will always need more minifigures! You can go the route of buying the collectible minifigure series on Shop@Home or Amazon, but unless you’re looking for that specific one for them, that can get a bit expensive at $3.99-$4.99 a pop.
If you’re not looking for a specific, I highly recommend the people packs. You can pick up a group of minifigures at a much lower per-minifig price. LEGO created several of these packs with different themes and you can pick them up on Shop@Home or Amazon.
4. Star Wars Micro Fighters
I know they’re out there, but I am usually hard pressed to find an adult who doesn’t like Star Wars. So, if you’re shopping for LEGO gifts for adults who also love Star Wars, the Star Wars Micro Fighters are an awesome idea!
At only $9.99, the sell quickly on the LEGO Shop@Home website. However, you can still pick them up (albeit some for a little higher price) on Amazon.
5. BrickJournal books or back issues
BrickJournal is an awesome magazine covering many LEGO subjects. If you have an adult who is looking for some inspiration, find their favorite topic in the archives and pick up the magazine for them!
You can pick up past issues of BrickJournal here.
6. Modular Instructions
If your AFOL is the type that likes to build from instructions, you can see about picking up a few modular instructions for them on the following websites:
Modular building instructions will set you back about $12-15 for each purchase of digital instructions.
7. 365 Things to Do with LEGO Bricks Book
Finally, while this book is marketed towards kids, the 365 Things to Do with LEGO Bricks Book is a great idea to help bust boredom or builder’s block. We love our book, so much so there is a review coming soon!
