1. Christmas “custom everything” gift ideas
Now custom weapons for LEGO Minifigures do not really go along with the Christmas spirit. But it’s a great gift for those LEGO fans that recreate battle scenes, dioramas or just need more cool looking weapons for their brick shootouts. Check out BrickArms for example: they’ve got everything from flintlock pistols to miniguns to alien blasters.
No weapons? No problem. How about custom parts?
Some cool posters on lego tiles or some Christmas lights or Santa pyjamas? Then check out the Brick Show.
No? How about some custom parts so you can build your own mini LEGO video arcade? Then check out Brick Pimp.
Still not satisfied? Maybe you just need realistic looking tiles for your LEGO city, or maybe just some custom shop signs or Fallout themed parts. Then check the BrickStandStore.
Speaking of cities and scenes, the best way to add personality and spice to those huge LEGO vistas is with diverse and unique and eye catching Minifigures. Maybe a John Brick or a Grim Reaper on a side alley to deliver the unexpected? Then check out Firestar Toys.
Christmas gift ideas for someone with a healthy Brick Headz collection? Say no more. How about a Brick Headz of that exact someone? Check out Custom Brick Headz to see what I mean.
A Brick Headz of themselves is too much? Then you can just go for a personalized LEGO minifigure. Take a look at Minifigure Me.
Looking for ideas related to LEGO cars or modular buildings? How about some custom lights for one of their sets. Just search for the set number on Light Sailing. And yes, they do have lightsabers that light up.
You think his or her space or Star Wars LEGO sets could use a bit more bling? Or maybe that model motorcycle would look better with metal looking exhaust pipes. Then why not go for some chromed silver LEGO parts? Check out Chrome Block City.
Are they into LEGO Technic and they keep trying to build a real car out of plastic bricks? How about you improve their odds with with some metal technic parts instead?
Maybe they are into paintings? How about a LEGO custom mosaic of themselves? Have a look at what Brick Me is offering.
2. Christmas wearables gift ideas
How about some jewelry for her, like these glow in the dark lightsabers?
How about some jewelry for him, like these cufflinks from Jacqueline’s shop?
What about some cool bow ties from LEGO bricks with handmade straps that make the bows look good and sit proper? Then check out the Bow Tie Bleau shop.
Maybe you can keep things simple and just get him a LEGO Minifigure keychain directly from the source.
A t-shirt is never a bad choice, especially with a cool slogan or punchline. Like for example, an “Eat. Sleep. Build. Repeat” one from Spreadshirt.
And if not a t-shirt, then perhaps a cap would go well with whatever he or she’s wearing? They can even take their favourite minifigures along for the ride. Have a look at Brick Hats.
3. Christmas gift ideas for around the house
A lego brick lamp or light might go well with all the sets lying on every free furniture space. The LEGO store has you covered on this front.
A LEGO themed cup or mug? From ceramic? Yup, LEGO has them too. The tongue out and the skeleton ones are sweet!
Are we talking cold drinks here and not hot ones? Then the best ice cubes to have are the LEGO minifigure looking kind of “cubes”. Check out the ice cube tray from the official LEGO store.
If you are into DIY projects, you could upcycle a coffee table and convert it into a LEGO table. Makes it mighty convenient to build a set or something while binging on your favourite series.
We are into DIY projects but we shall not touch the coffee table or the coffee table space? Then how about a LEGO play tray?
If they have a LEGO room or space or maybe they have their own office where they spend most of their time, a LEGO patent poster might look great next to their other LEGO sets and artefacts.
Is their whole house and family dedicated to “the brick”? Then how about you help them communicate that from the get go with a LEGO personalized door mat. Made In Gift is selling them.
No LEGO bricks allowed at the dinner table? Bend the rules a bit and get these salt and pepper shakers to stir things up.
Do they frequently buy bricks by the kilograms, boxes or bags and they need to rummage through them afterwards? Get them a brick sorter.
How about a LEGO calendar to help them also remember your friendship anniversary?
Is their desk always messy? Then get them a LEGO Dots organiser so it gets even messier but also a lot more fun!
If they are in to plants, you can get them a character planter pot vase type thingy. They can get creative with the choice of “hair”.
Turning the light on and off has become too boring? Help them upgrade to LEGO bricks compatible light switches.
We want to make eating more fun and creative? How about stackable utensils with handles from bricks?
What about the cooking side of things? Some fun there as well? Then let’s go with the LEGO cookie cutters.
Their fridge or coffee machine needs a little spark and joy? LEGO fridge magnets might be able to sort things out.
They frequently arrive late to your meetings because they had to pick up all of their LEGO bricks? Get them a lego play blanket to make cleaning up a matter of seconds. Let’s see what excuse they bring next!
How about you help them group and display their lego creations together with a LEGO compatible stud mat?
You can also just 3D print them a mega LEGO-like skeleton. They can place mini skeletons on it and their headphones on top.
4. Christmas gift ideas for LEGO storage & displaying
If they have a lot of big sets or UCS editions, then a dedicated display case for those sets will make for a wonderful and considerate gift. Ceck out what Wicked Brick are offering.
Are you more towards a DIY gift in this area? Then also consider the thick frames from IKEA. They have enough space in between the back and the glass/plastic to house small LEGO sets or dioramas.
Do they have lots of small and varied lego parts and they strugle to keep their space neat and tidy? Then check out this article on LEGO storage for large collections.
5. Christmas gift ideas for LEGO related activities
Let’s start with the basics: you can never go wrong with a visit to Legoland Denmark.
How about an online course on how to build lifelike sculptures using LEGO bricks. There’s a course from Samuel Hatmaker on this topic.
Are they more of a novice and want to get into creating their own MOCs? Then you can get them this course instead.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, if they see LEGO as more than just bricks and building blocks and they want to use it in their work and with their team, then gifting them a LEGO Serious Play certification might be the right thing to do.
6. Christmas gift ideas: not your regular LEGO sets & parts
Getting them some old and famous retired LEGO sets will always be appreciated. Like the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean OR the older version of the Death Star from Star Wars.
If those sets are way over budget, famous LEGO minifigures or some of the most popular LEGO minifigures are also an option. Just make sure they don’t already have them. You can also check out our list and get them a bow tie minifigure.
It might be a bit obvious and a tad simple, but a LEGO advent calendar is always cool to have in December.
Lego motors are cool on their own. But you know what’s even cooler? custom LEGO compatible motors that go faster, are stronger OR are smaller and allow for new builds and combinations.
7. Christmas gift ideas: everything else
LEGO techniques book to teach tham that exact thing they needed to fit 40 different sub builds together.
Lots of LEGO sets out in the open means lots of dust. So what better gift than a brush for cleaning all that dust off and keeping the sets looking good.
LEGO themed stationery to reinforce just how big of a LEGO fan they are.
You can also take into consideration LEGO themed video games. I can personally recommend the LEGO Star Wars ones to play with your kids.
LEGO friendly cases for their gadgets like this case.
Chocolate is always a delicious option. LEGO themed ciocolate takes it to the next level.
If they are into Karneval or cosplaying, some LEGO costume accessories are definitely an option.
Do you want to take the lego with you on a date or to a formal event? A LEGO clutch purse might help with that.
Constantly needs to transport files and photos around? How about a LEGO brick USB-Stick?
And if none of the above work, just leave it to someone else to figure it out and put something in that box with a brick subscription box.
That’s a wrap. 60 Christmas gift ideas for any LEGO fan out there that is not just another set from the official store. We hope you find the right present for your “target”.
