Gift ideas

A gift only you would think to give…

Made to build. Meant to keep.

The house where they raised you. The little chapel where you said your vows. The first door they ever held the key to. Some gifts begin with a place.

We make that place in genuine LEGO® bricks, one of a kind: something to build together, something to keep on the shelf, and a story to hand down.

The Brick Colonial: a two-storey brick house under a hipped roof, in LEGO bricks. The home that holds the stories The Towers in Narragansett: two round granite towers joined by an arch, in LEGO bricks. A place that means “us” The Stone and Cedar House: fieldstone and cedar under a climbing roof, in LEGO bricks. Their new beginning

Designs from our gallery, each one checked and priced.

For family

Who are you thinking of?

For parents and grandparents

The house that holds the stories.

The front steps where everyone gathered.
The garden they tended, season after season.
The kitchen window, lit for you coming home.

Give it back to them in bricks, for a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or the move to somewhere smaller.

And if they are settling into a new room, in assisted living or a care home, let a little of home go too: a familiar roofline on the windowsill, and a place to begin when you visit. Build it together, a few bags at a time, or let us build it for them.

Think of: the family home, their childhood house, a favourite holiday cottage, the house they are moving out of.

For children and grandchildren

A piece of where they come from.

Grandma’s house, a story in every window.
The door a new baby was first carried through.
The home a grown child takes with them to college.

For the youngest, make it a family project, and share as much of the building as suits them. For the eldest, it is a little piece of home to carry along.

Think of: the house they came home to as a baby, Grandma’s house, the family farm, the home they are leaving for college.

For siblings and the whole family

One place. A dozen versions of the story.

The kitchen everyone remembers differently.
The porch in every summer photograph.
The holiday house where the cousins grew up together.

Give it together: for a reunion, a parent’s birthday, or one last gathering before the house is sold. Choosing the details becomes part of the gift.

Think of: the childhood home, a shared summer cottage, the family’s first house in a new country.

For partners

A place that means “us”

For your partner

Somewhere only the two of you would choose.

The café where an hour felt like a minute.
The first apartment, and its one good window.
The bench, the bridge, the place you said yes.

For an anniversary, or an ordinary Tuesday worth celebrating: build it side by side, and tell the story one more time.

Think of: where you met, your first shared home, where you got engaged, a honeymoon hotel.

For newlyweds

Where they said “I do”.

The church, the chapel, the barn, the ballroom —
the one room that held everyone they love, at once.

Give it as a wedding gift, or save it for the first anniversary, when the day has become their favourite story. And if you are the one just married, it is a lovely way to say it all again.

Think of: the wedding venue, the church where their parents married too, the first home they share.

For milestones

Where a new chapter began

For new homeowners

The first key, kept for good.

A first house. A long-awaited move.
A place to put down roots, and paint the front door.

Celebrate the housewarming, or the first anniversary of the keys, with the home itself in bricks.

Think of: a first home, a forever home, the house they built or restored.

For graduates and lifelong friends

The place that stands for the years.

The residence hall. The library at midnight.
A campus tower like Brown’s Carrie Tower, keeping the hours.

For a graduation or a reunion — or for an old friend, the school where you met, the apartment you once shared.

Think of: a school, a university landmark, a first shared apartment, a favourite campus building.

For someone far from home

Home, wherever life takes them.

Across the country, across an ocean,
for work, for love, for a posting far away —
the smallest details of home grow larger.

Give them a building they know by heart.

Think of: a hometown library, a family house abroad, a cherished place of worship, the State House on its hill.

For the people you share adventures with

Keep a favourite escape close.

The cabin you return to every summer.
The lighthouse from that unforgettable trip — Beavertail, perhaps, in the wind.
The little hotel everyone still talks about.

A reminder of time well spent, and a reason to plan the next one.

Think of: a lakeside cottage, a mountain lodge, a beach house, a favourite landmark.

To say thank you

Gifts from the people who helped

From real estate agents

A closing gift they will keep.

For the buyers, the house they have just been handed the keys to.
For the sellers, the home they are saying goodbye to.

Either way, it says you understood what the move meant.

Think of: a first home, a forever home, a family home passing to new owners.

From builders and architects

Hand over the keys, and the house in miniature.

The custom home. The careful restoration.
The building you drew from nothing.

The thank-you a client keeps long after the paperwork is filed.

Think of: a custom home, a restored farmhouse, a new chapel or library.

For someone retiring, or a business milestone

Honour what they helped build.

The shop they opened. The classroom where they taught.
The fire station they answered calls from.
The corner restaurant that became a neighbourhood’s kitchen.

A gift from colleagues, customers or family, for the years someone gave to a place.

Think of: a first storefront, a long-time workplace, a family business, a fire station.

For churches, schools and clubs

A building the whole community knows.

A centenary. A new building.
A farewell to an old one.

A model can mark the day, thank someone who served for years, or be the prize everyone hopes to carry home from the fundraiser.

Think of: a parish church, a school’s oldest building, a clubhouse, a town library.

In remembrance

A place that holds someone you love

Some places keep a person in them —
a porch, a workshop, a kitchen table.

If it feels right for the one receiving it, a model of that place can be a quiet tribute. Choose it with care, and perhaps invite them to help decide which details matter most. If the place is gone, an old photograph can be enough to begin.

Think of: a parent’s home, a grandparent’s workshop, a place where you spent time together.

Giving it

Make the giving part of the memory

1
Give an afternoon

A numbered kit, the old photographs spread on the table, and time for the stories.

2
Give a place on the shelf

For someone who would rather look than build, we build it and box it, ready to stand.

3
Give the story with it

Tuck in an old photograph and a note on why this place. Ask us about a display case and a plaque.

Preview their place in the studio and keep the pictures to yourself; we reply only to you.

Which place would they love to stand in again?
Which building would they know before you said its name?
