Buying a LEGO set for a long-term fan can be tricky, so we've rounded up some suggestions based on what they already have in their collection.
One way to ensure you're gifting a LEGO set your loved one will enjoy is by snooping through their existing collection and finding something that slots in well. With that in mind, we've rounded up some specific suggestions that you can match up to what your friend or relative has already built.
Even better, these LEGO sets are currently discounted, so you can snap up a discount at the same time. Scroll down for our hand-picked recommendations for different types of LEGO fans.
If they love LEGO Speed Champions...
Many collectors of LEGO Speed Champions ensure that they pick up every single set from the theme – which doesn't leave a lot of room for you to get them something. That's why we'd suggest 10330 MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna – currently reduced at Amazon to just over £50 – as a mid-sized set that captures the same love of cars and racing.
Set on its own display stand, it will pair perfectly with a LEGO Speed Champions display, despite being much larger of course. Everyone wants to feel special at Christmas and this special display-focused build will certainly achieve that.
If they love LEGO Pirates...
LEGO Pirates holds a special place in the hearts of many LEGO fans and one LEGO Creator set is the ideal accompaniment that they have might have overlooked thus far. If you're buying for someone who already has 10320 Eldorado Fortress on their shelf, for example, consider snapping up Zavvi's discount on 31109 Pirate Ship, gifting three builds in one for just £104.99.
If they have 71043 Hogwarts Castle...
The pride and joy of any LEGO Harry Potter fan's collection is likely their copy of 71043 Hogwarts Castle, so much so that it's hard to know where to go from there. Thankfully, there's one section of the new minifigure scale castle that captures some of the same magic without breaking the bank – or the shelf.
76430 Hogwarts Castle Owlery features snow-capped turrets and more owls than you can see all at once. What's more, Amazon has slashed the price to just £29.99, making it the perfect stocking filler for a LEGO Harry Potter fan.
If they have LEGO Star Wars 75308 R2-D2...
Another one for LEGO Star Wars fans, if they've already got 75379 R2-D2 on the shelf, then 75398 C-3PO is the perfect pairing – and vice versa. Whichever one they've chosen to start with, rest assured that they're planning to get the other one at some point, and both are reduced by 20% at GAME right now.
In fact, if you're buying for anyone with a LEGO Star Wars display, you could go all in and get them the droid duo in one fell swoop. That's how you earn your place as their favourite person this Christmas.
If they have LEGO Botanical Collection sets...
If you're buying for someone who loves the LEGO Botanical Collection and want to treat them to something special, it's time to dip into another LEGO Icons set with 10315 Tranquil Garden. Although it costs slightly more than most botanical sets, Amazon's 21% discount makes it more affordable – and the price increase means it makes an eye-catching display, while keeping all the detail and colour fans love in the Botanical Collection.
