The smallest and cheapest LEGO sets are tiny! Here is an alternative stocking filler and small gift option for the LEGO fan in your life this Christmas.
As time goes on, the price of LEGO sets continues to increase – so those small £10 sets are suddenly not such great value, they are absolutely tiny. While you could still buy one or two of them, it’s worth mixing things up with some other low priced LEGO gifts this Christmas if you’re buying for a brick obsessive.
Blocks publishes the monthly LEGO magazine and we have a huge range of LEGO magazines that are perfect for any LEGO fan this Christmas. Inside the magazines you’ll find all sorts of articles about the different sets, including interviews with LEGO professionals, inspirational fan creations, reviews of the sets, exclusive building instructions and much more.
These LEGO magazines are perfect stocking fillers for adults – that’s who they are written for – but they will also provide great inspiration for children who love LEGO building. Especially if they are very enthusiastic and you want to encourage them to put down the screen and do some reading. If you’re looking for a bigger gift for a LEGO fan, then a LEGO magazine subscription is a better option.
Here are some of the stocking filler options available for LEGO devotees this Christmas;
