These LEGO Sets Are Perfect for an Easter Gift Basket

Spring is the season of love. And this miniature tree, with two lovebirds side-by-side, is a great way to show you care. LEGO sets are wonderful couples projects that two people can build together.

The LEGO Botanicals make wonderful seasonal gifts, because they can stick around after the holidays are over and still beautify a room. These LEGO Daisies are pretty-looking and inexpensive – only $15 for a fantastic aesthetic effect.

These are a little more expensive than the Daisies, but they have the detail to justify the price bump. You get six sunflowers: one bud, three blossoming, and two fully bloomed. You also get three eucalyptyus stems, which give the final bouquet some visual variety.

The Cute Bunny lives up to its name; it is poseable, and it comes with a massive carrot. The Cute Bunny is also a 3-in-1 set, which means that if you ever get bored of the bunny after Easter, you can turn into either a seal or a llama.

If you’re in the mood for something a little more cartoonish, you can also check out the new LEGO Bugs Bunny model, a 605-piece set for only $40.

Another ‘LEGO lifestyle’ build that incorporates the bricks into home decor, the Spring Wreath is customizable. For Easter, you can attach a bunny head and egg decorations. And then afterwards, you can remove them so the wreath is a little less ostentatious and a lot more tasteful.

A fun build for anyone who doesn’t want to get his or her hands dirty, you first build the egg itself. And then, you use a number of multicolored tiles to ‘paint’ the egg and stylize it however you see fit. The egg also functions as a lidded container, either for chocolate treats or the leftover LEGO tiles.

An adorable build for kids, it’s doesn’t get more thematic than this. The chick and bunny both have a rounded, cute appeal, and the Easter eggs appear to be growing on the tree. A bit trippy, but we like it – a fun little display that would look great on the corner of someone’s desk.

This 216-piece set is only $15, and it works as an eye-catching table centerpiece. It’s a wicker basket with three painted eggs, two flowers, and a baby chick perched on its side. The basket’s handles make it easy to transport from wherever you build it to wherever you decide to display it.
