CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Some people want another plant for Christmas. Some already have nine plants jockeying for the one spot with decent light. LEGO Botanicals Tiny Plants is a gift for both. Set 10329 builds nine little plants inspired by everything from succulents to tropical species, and the finished collection can be split across a shelf, desk, and kitchen windowsill.

Who I’d give it to

Think of the coworker with a propagation station, the college student decorating a first apartment, or the person who always ends up doing the puzzle at family gatherings. The gift has two parts: an evening spent building, and something small enough to keep on display afterward.

Make the build part of Christmas

Wrap the set with a note that says, ‘Let’s build a few after breakfast.’ Clear a spot at the table and put down a shallow tray so small pieces stay together. If you live far apart, ask them to send you a photo of the first plant they finish.

Pick the right set

Tiny Plants makes sense for someone who likes a collection of little objects. I’d pick the Mini Orchid for someone who would rather display one piece. Check the age guidance before buying for younger builders, and give households with small children a place to keep loose pieces out of reach.
