LEGO Christmas gift recommendations

bimp-64x64We’re well aware of how hectic Christmas shopping can be. So our Christmas gift to GUOM readers is to offer some LEGO shopping suggestions for the folks on your shopping lists. We’re also making your shopping easier by providing the appropriate Amazon link so you can purchase your gifts from your easy chairs, sans sales tax, thereby avoiding the rude Christmas shoppers and holiday traffic. If you find something of interest and use our provided links, you will also give GUOM a Christmas gift. Amazon will provide us with a kick back to help offset our site hosting costs.

Along with our list, we’ll also provide a short description as why the item made our list. Clicking on the links will provide you with the latest price, additional pictures and other reviews from Amazon shoppers. We think you’ll find some good shopping tips for LEGO fans and even those folks who don’t know they’re LEGO fans. So, let’s get started!

ADULT FANS OF LEGO (AFOL) CHRISTMAS GIFTS

LEGO® City Advent Calendar (7907)
LEGO® City Advent Calendar (7907)
| $24.99
Buy this one soon! Each day is a countdown to Christmas. It’s great fun to see what LEGO elements are in each compartment and then to build the model. At the conclusion of the countdown, the LEGO fan will have an entire City themed set. Great fun and an annual tradition here at GUOM.

Lego Mini-figure Salt & Pepper Set, Shakers
Lego Mini-figure Salt & Pepper Set, Sha… | $16.99
What LEGO fan wouldn’t like these mini-fig salt and pepper shakers! Great fun for your dinner table or breakfast nook.

LEGO Mindstorms NXT
LEGO Mindstorms NXT | $249.99
More fun than a barrel o’ monkeys and a great way to build your own robot to take over the world or serve you that cold beverage from the refrigerator! Watch GUOM Video to Learn More!

Lego Make & Create Café Corner
Lego Make & Create Café Corner | $119.99
Alright. We’ll admit it. We don’t own this set and haven’t seen it. But we want one! We have several Department 56 Snow Village pieces around the house during Christmas and have given some thought to replacing these with LEGO models. This set would be a very good start! Maybe Santa will put this under our tree this year.

The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide
The Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide by Allan Bedford | $16.47
By far our favorite LEGO book of all time. The LEGO building basics, tips and tricks you learn from this book are priceless. On top of that, Allan, the author, is a great guy and one of our favorite AFOLs! We also hear that he occasionally visits the GUOM site!

We’ll conclude our list with five honorable mentions. You can view images and learn more by clicking on the link.

    Great ideas! I like the wide price range, and did not even realize the unofficial book was released.

    Thanks!
