Here Are 6 LEGO Sets You Can Gift Your Loved One This Valentine

Flowers, regardless of species, are a great way to express your love on any given day – Valentine’s Day included. But what you may not know is, in Buddhism, the flower is a reminder of impermanence, that everything changes and nothing last forever.

That said, it is not exactly a good fit for love, is it? Instead of presenting your significant other with real flowers, or the usual bears and such, here are some alternatives by the way of LEGO.

Yes, you heard that, LEGO. Why LEGO? Well, you get to build the gift together. It will be more meaningful to be spending time working on something together than you spending the whole year naturing plants that may not live or spending hours in a Build-A-Bear workshop and walking away with a Frankenstein bear.

You can also build it and present it like any other gift. Whatever you do, you’d know it will last, like a lifetime, which would signify undying love. Perhaps, more importantly, IMHO, is it will be uniquely different and fun. Oh, oh. These alternatives won’t go up like the stock market on V-Day as real flowers do. Anywho, enough of talks, here are our picks of LEGO sets for Valentine’s Day:

LEGO Roses (40460)
