Did you finish all your present shopping only to realize you neglected the stocking stuffers? Again? For the third year in a row? That’s okay; you can get a jump on stocking stuffers with some great inexpensive LEGO suggestions.
You might be thinking that all LEGO sets come in giant boxes with over $300 price tags—and we can’t blame you for that thought when sets like the Hogwarts Castle and the Millennium Falcon exist. But LEGO gifts don’t have to be large or expensive.
You can easily spend $10 or less on something small, which is great for the bank and your stockings. Some of these sets may come in boxes that won’t fit in stockings, but you could wrap up the bags inside the box and toss them in. Or, you know, buy bigger stockings.
As with our other LEGO guides, we’ll link to either Amazon or the LEGO store, whichever has a particular gift cheaper as of this writing. LEGO pricing does fluctuate, though, so it can’t hurt to shop around.
And if you buy a lot of LEGO bricks, it might be worth it to sign up for LEGO VIP, a loyalty program that can net you discounted or even free LEGO sets. Spending a little more now could you save you money in the long run.

SPACESHIP!: Satellite Service Mission
It may not be Benny’s spaceship, but this fun little satellite service set really hits the spot for everything fun about space. You get an astronaut mini-fig complete with a gold visor and wrench, a “solar-powered” satellite, and a shuttle just large enough to hold the mini-fig.
LEGO added fun little details, like wing flaps, and the shuttle even has a storage area to stow the satellite away.

This inexpensive LEGO kit sends you on a mission to fix a satellite. Send your astronaut mini-fig into space with the included space shuttle, and if necessary, stow the satellite in the back for repairs.
A Mystery Surprise: LEGO Minifigures Series 19
LEGO sells mini-figs in blind bags and changes up the theme of those bags every so often. Blind bags, for the initiated, are typically small toys hidden inside a foil or other soft container. You can’t tell what’s inside before buying, so if you want a particular toy from a set, you may have to try more than once.
The latest LEGO Minifigure series is adventure themed and comprises 16 different mini-figs, including a Dog Sitter, Video Game Champ, Shower Guy, Rugby Player, and more. You can easily fit three or four blind bags in most stockings.
LEGO Minifigures 71025 Series 19 Building Kit (1 Minifigures) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Flowers For Your Love: LEGO Flower Display
Nothing says, “I love you” like flowers. And nothing says, “I understand you” like giving the LEGO fanatic love of your life LEGO Flowers.
This set includes a LEGO rose, daisy, and interchangeable pots. At 5 inches (14cm) high and 3 inches (10cm) wide, it doesn’t take up too much room and should fit on any work desk.
Customize Your LEGO Blocks: xtra Brick Stickers
Not everyone builds solely with predesigned LEGO sets. Half the fun is often making custom restaurants, homes, and dinosaur-filled coliseums. But if you use plain LEGO bricks to build a town, it’ll look somewhat dull.
That’s where these xtra Brick Stickers come into play. They offer decoration for your creation, including everything from pretzel store logos to grocery store pricing. As long as the recipient doesn’t find the concept of applying stickers to LEGO bricks sacrilegious, these are a great way to make a custom town look even better.
Christmas Tree Ornament: LEGO Toy Soldier Ornament
How often can you give a Christmas Tree that’s both cute and functional? This LEGO Toy Soldier ornament is certainly adorable, especially with the little wrapped presents at its feet.
The ornament will look good on anyone’s tree, and even if it doesn’t, it can always be torn apart and used for parts.
Christmas Expansion Pack: LEGO xtra Xmas Accessories
Speaking of parts, sometimes it’s nice just to gift LEGO parts. This little pack comes with all sorts of Christmas themed LEGO bricks, and includes everything you need to build a snowman, some wrapped presents, or a candy cane.
But the point is, you don’t have to do any of that. The kit contains 32 useful pieces for theming your creations for Christmas.
For the LEGO Fan with Everything: LEGO Brick Separator
Do you know an extreme LEGO fan who buys every set as soon as the company releases them? That’s a tough person to shop for, but this may help. The Lego Brick Separator does precisely what the name implies: it separates two joined LEGO bricks. Sometimes that’s a seemingly impossible task, especially if the two pieces in question are flat thin bricks.
To be fair, most big LEGO kits come with a separator. But they’re also easily lost, so your LEGO fan may not have one. Even if they do, LEGO Brick Separators are kind of like woodworking clamps: you can never have too many.
