I Can Buy Myself *LEGO* Flowers
What could possibly be more romantic than receiving a bouquet of fresh, sweet-smelling, bright red roses? We’ll tell you. Receiving a box of LEGO flowers. Let us set the scene, you and your significant other, some ice cream, a cheesy rom-com, and a box full of flowers just waiting to be put together. Sounds like the ideal date night, doesn't it?
LEGO flowers aren’t only sold as roses, although those may be the personal favorite of the hopeless romantic. There are so many varieties you can buy as a gift for yourself or someone you love. The prices, as well as the number of individual flowers you get, vary from box to box and flower style to flower style. No matter your preference, there is truly a flower for everyone on the LEGO website.
We won’t lie, some LEGO flowers are on the pricier side, but if you just want to have some fun by yourself or with someone special, make a few flowers, and have a little tchotchke to show off in your space, the cherry blossom set may be perfect for you. The box comes with enough LEGO bricks to build two flowers, one white and one pink, for the price of $14.99, which is on the cheaper end. There are also a bunch of other similar kits for the same price: Lotus Flowers, Sunflowers, Daffodils, and more!
If you don’t want to go through the trouble of purchasing both the flowers and a vase to hold them, we at The Edge would recommend the Orchid to you. The set costs $49.99 and comes with six flowers and a pot that you put together. The orchid is also a much more casual flower, less romantic than the rose, but still very pretty and just as fun to make. Other kits, like the Bonsai Tree kit or the Tiny Plant kit, are the same price and also come with a matching display that you make to show off your flowers.
Say it's your anniversary or a big holiday, you’re looking to wow your partner, or you just want to add some extra pizazz to your space, we recommend the larger flower bouquet kits and that you buy a cute and stylish vase to boot. As seen above, the wildflower kit has several different kinds of flowers, big and small, to build a cute and unique bundle. The roses mentioned before are also a bigger kit. It comes with three different types of roses, two of each, as well as some babies' breath. These both retail for $59.99 and don’t include a vase, so they’re a lot more expensive, but in our opinion, worth it.
Finally, if you are looking for something pretty and fun that you can buy for yourself or display for any holiday or time of year, we at The Edge think that the Dried Flower Centerpiece is just perfect. It features a timeless range of warm earthy colors with a wide array of flowers. You could display this piece in the middle of your Thanksgiving meal, or put it on your bedside table. It is extremely versatile depending on you and your aesthetic, and normally retails for $49.99. There isn't the pressure of a bouquet to display it in a vase. They also aren’t a romantic bundle of flowers like the rose bouquet.
LEGO flowers aren’t just for going on dates with other people, but also for taking yourself on a date. Self-love is just as important as any other kind of love. Do us a favor, and buy yourself, or someone you love, some LEGO flowers.
